When buying curtains, if you can ask these 4 "questions", the shopping guide: I'm afraid you are an "expert"
When it comes to home furnishings, curtains are one of the most important items. They are very practical and decorative. Every household will install them. They can not only block the sun and dust to enhance privacy, but also improve the home decoration style and have a good decorative effect. Therefore, it is very important to choose curtains that are suitable and beautiful. However, many people may be troubled when choosing curtains. They can be dazzled when they go to curtain shops. There are many categories and colors, but the most difficult thing is to grasp the price and not overspend. However, people know too little about it. How can we save money to the greatest extent? When buying curtains, if you can raise these 4 "questions", the shopping guide: I'm afraid you are an "expert"
1. How much does it weigh?
I believe that many people want to sleep in at home on weekends and don't want to be woken up by the sun, right? Therefore, curtains with good light-blocking properties will be used in the bedroom in the early stage. When you ask the store about light-blocking curtains, don't completely believe the store's one-sided words. Some light-blocking curtains cannot reach 100% light-blocking rate, so you need to ask about the gram weight. It must reach more than 280 grams to achieve complete light-blocking. I guess the shopping guide will not dare to neglect you after hearing this. You should know that curtains of different materials have different densities. This gram weight mainly refers to the weight per square meter, which is also an important indicator for measuring fabrics. You can also use a flashlight to shine on it to see the light-blocking effect.
2. How to calculate the price of auxiliary materials?
When many people go to buy curtains, they will find that the fabrics are relatively cheap, ranging from a dozen to dozens of yuan per meter. Many people don’t understand and think that it is so cheap that the whole house can be completed with a few thousand yuan. However, people who know the business will ask one more question, which is about the price of auxiliary materials. It may become more than 60 yuan per meter after the auxiliary materials are included. The whole house will cost several thousand or even more than 10,000 yuan. Many merchants use low prices for fabrics to attract customers. You must know that the real cost is the auxiliary materials. For example, one hole costs 5 yuan (including iron rings and cloth belts), and the curtains for the whole house will cost hundreds of yuan. Therefore, you must ask about the prices of Roman rods, cloth belts, curtains, installation fees, etc. Otherwise, when the transaction price is reached, you can only pay with tears.
3. The folds of the curtains should not exceed 2 times?
You should know that if you want your curtains to look good, they need to have certain folds, so that they will be more three-dimensional instead of flat. However, this will also require more fabrics. But don't blindly believe that the more folds the better. If you want to make the window 2 times, the merchant asks you to make it 2.5~3 times, then the extra money will be earned by the merchant. If the window width is within 1.5 meters, it should be made 2.5 times. If it is 1.5~4.5 meters, it should be made 2 times. If it is greater than 4.5 times, just make it 1.8 times. Of course, it still depends on the pattern of the curtains. If you want to highlight the complex pattern, then the fold multiple should also be increased. If you can ask this question, the shopping guide will also praise you as a "knowledgeable person"!
4. How much do curtains and curtain cloths cost?
In addition to installing cloth curtains, families nowadays also use a gauze curtain to enhance the beauty of the interior. It is also more convenient and practical. Gauze curtains are used during the day for better air permeability and light transmittance, while cloth curtains are used at night to protect your privacy and prevent you from being woken up by the sun the next day. So when buying, you should ask clearly what the prices of the two are, otherwise you will find that you will pay a lot more at the checkout. In addition, both of them can be sold separately, so you can also choose your favorite style to match, but this also means that you need two curtain rods, which will also increase the cost of accessories.
Also, when buying curtains, don’t show great interest in a particular model, otherwise it will be difficult to bargain. You should focus on the pattern, color, and drape. If you ask too many questions, even if the person is not the store owner but a shopping guide, they may not know everything. I hope the above information can help you. Are you able to choose?
