Is Pikkuna double-sided?

No, Pikkuna clear vinyl curtains are not double-sided—each curtain has a distinct front face (which should face you during installation and use) and a back face (which faces away from you). This orientation is critical for proper installation, especially for custom-shaped curtains or those with special features.

Why Orientation Matters
The front and back sides appear nearly identical on rectangular curtains with uniform mounting, but they become distinctly different when your curtain includes: zipper doors (the zipper pull must be on the front side for easy access), asymmetric mounting hardware (different fastener types on opposite edges require specific orientation), trapezoid or irregular shapes (the curtain only fits the opening when oriented correctly—like a puzzle piece), custom features like reinforced corners or weighted edges positioned for specific sides. Installing a curtain backwards with a zipper door means the zipper opens from the wrong side, making it difficult or impossible to use. For shaped curtains, incorrect orientation means dimensions don't match your opening—the wide end might face the narrow end of your trapezoid opening.

How to Identify the Correct Orientation
When you receive your Pikkuna and the accompanying technical drawing, the drawing always depicts the front side facing you—exactly as you should see it when standing in front of the installed curtain. When measuring your opening initially, take all measurements from the perspective you'll use during installation (standing in front of the opening where you'll install the curtain). Mark this viewpoint or take a photo so you remember the correct orientation. If your curtain includes a zipper door, the zipper pull should face you (on the front side) for convenient opening. For asymmetric mounting patterns, compare the hardware placement on your physical curtain to the approved technical drawing—they should match when you hold the curtain with the front facing you.

Installation Tip: The Tetris Rule
Think of your custom Pikkuna like a Tetris piece—it has a specific shape and orientation that fits perfectly into your opening, but only when positioned correctly. If you try to install it backwards or rotated, the dimensions won't align, fastener positions won't match your mounting points, and doors will open the wrong way. Before attaching any permanent fasteners, hold the curtain up to your opening in the correct front-facing orientation and verify that: all edges align with your frame, door positions match where you want them, mounting hardware locations correspond to your planned
