Overview

A string curtain for a doorway, 100 cm wide and 280 cm tall, in a heavyweight 590 g polyester. The weight is the point: light string curtains drift and tangle, and this one hangs straight.

The top is a slot pocket, so it slides onto a tension rod, a pole or a wire. Rods are not included, because most people are hanging it on something they already have.

Cut it to the height and width you want with scissors. Doorways are rarely 280 cm, so expect to trim.

It works as a fly curtain, as a room divider, or as a way to close off a doorway that has no door without shutting off the air.

Made from eco-friendly polyester fibre that gives off nothing harmful in sunlight.

Shipping & returns

Delivery across Europe in 5 to 7 days. It is free on orders of €60 or more, and a flat €22 below that.

You can cancel within 14 days of receiving your order without giving a reason, under regulation 20 of S.I. No. 484 of 2013, which implements the EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU. You then have a further 14 days to send the goods back, and you pay the cost of returning them.

A screen cut to your own measurements is made to your specification, so regulation 13(1)(c) removes the cancellation right once we have started making it. A standard size you cut down yourself at home keeps the full right until you cut it.

If it arrives faulty, damaged or not as described we put it right at no cost to you, return postage included, under the Consumer Rights Act 2022.

Looking after it

Shake it out or wipe it down. If the strings tangle, run your fingers through them from the top and they fall straight again.

How it works in a real doorway

String Curtain Door

Some doorways never had a door and never needed one. An opening between a kitchen and a hallway, a back door propped open all summer, an archway that wants defining without closing. A string curtain handles all of those. You walk through it, it falls back, and the air keeps moving.

String Curtain Door

What separates a good one from a cheap one is weight. This curtain is 590 g of polyester at 15 strings to the inch. Thin string curtains drift in a draught, tangle around each other and end up looking like a bad wig. The extra weight makes it hang straight and settle quickly after someone walks through.

String Curtain Door

The top is a slot pocket rather than hooks or eyelets, so it slides onto a tension rod, a curtain pole or a length of wire. That keeps it flexible: you can hang it inside a door frame with a tension rod and never put a screw in the wall, which is worth knowing if you rent.

String Curtain Door

It cuts. Very few doorways are 280 cm tall, so trimming the length is normal rather than a compromise. Cut the strings straight across with sharp scissors and the ends stay put. You can narrow the width the same way.

The complete guide

Choosing and hanging a string curtain door

5 min read Simple Screens

What it is for

Some doorways never had a door and never needed one. The opening between a kitchen and a hallway. A back door propped open all summer. An archway that wants defining without closing off.

A string curtain handles all of those. You walk through it, it falls back behind you, and the air keeps moving. It's the least fussy way to put something across an opening.

Why the weight is the whole story

This curtain is 590 g of polyester woven at 15 strings to the inch, and that weight is the difference between a good string curtain and a bad one.

Thin, light string curtains drift in any draught, wrap around each other and end up looking like a bad wig within a fortnight. Heavier strings hang straight down, settle quickly after someone walks through, and stay separated. It also feels better on the way past, which sounds like a small thing until you use one every day.

Hanging it

The top is a slot pocket rather than hooks or eyelets, so it slides onto a rod, a pole or a length of wire. Rods are not included, on the assumption you already have something or will pick a rod to suit the opening.

For a doorway, a tension rod inside the frame is usually the answer. It needs no screws, so it suits a rented flat, and it comes down as easily as it went up.

Cutting it to size

The curtain is 280 cm tall as supplied, and very few doorways are. Trimming is normal rather than a compromise.

Hang it first, then cut. Mark where you want the hem, take it down, and cut the strings straight across with sharp scissors. The weave holds the cut ends, so there is no hemming to do. You can narrow the width the same way by cutting strings off the side.

For an opening wider than 100 cm, hang two curtains on the same rod with a few centimetres of overlap in the middle. Any more overlap than that and the middle feels heavy to walk through.

String or chain

Both do the same job in different registers. The chain curtain is aluminium, much heavier, and settles almost instantly in a doorway with constant traffic, which is why they turn up in cafes and commercial kitchens. It also costs a good deal more.

The string curtain is softer, effectively silent, and far cheaper. In a house, that is usually the better trade.

Looking after it

Shake it out when it needs it, or wipe it down. If it needs a proper wash, take it off the rod, hand wash it gently and hang it back up wet so the strings dry straight. Do not wring it, or you will spend an evening untangling it.
