For the width, the finished panel size itself is measured--and the length is measured from the top of the tabs to the bottom of the panel. Most are approximately 42 wide by 48 high (including the tab tops). Customer will need to provide the rod and hardware to hang them. A rod diameter of about 1- 3/8 inches is best for balance.

Important Note: Wall hangings, like fine tapestries, are subject to fade with time. To prevent premature sun damage it is extremely important to locate wall hangings away from sunlight. Japanesque Accents cannot guarantee fabrics from sun damage. Take care to select a location to hang the wall hanging that is out of direct sunlight to help preserve its colors longer.

General Care of Wall hangings:--General Care of Wall hangings: After receiving your wall hanging, hang it as soon as you can to help release any wrinkles that might have formed during shipping. If the creases do not fall out within a couple days after hanging, they may be eliminated by a couple of different methods: The first, by hanging it near a source of steam for a day or two (close to the shower or bath). The second, by using the steam setting on a steam iron placed just barely touching the surface of the cloth--never pressing down (this will permanently flatten the batting core). If trying this method, take care not to directly touch with the iron any shiny metallic printed areas that may be in the disign of your wall hanging--as the metallic printing could melt. The third, to hang some light weights (like lead fishing weights) to the bottom hem of the wall hanging and allow them to gently pull the wrinkles out. If none of these techniques works to eliminate the wrinkles, please consult a professional dry cleaner. The wall hanging should never need cleaning--just beat with your hand to remove dust--and, if you must, spot clean only with a mild detergent and water.
