Our curtains and pelmets are machine sewn with blind hems, overlocked sides to give movement between the fabric and lining and the corners are mitred and weighted. Our interlined curtains and pelmets use 260gm 100% cotton bump and have hand slipped sides.
Eyelet curtains have stamped metal rings rather than plastic rings on a curtain tape. All curtains are supplied with hooks where necessary and ready to hang. Pelmets can be supplied with hooks or velcro.
If you have any special requirements; hand sewing, reversible curtains, a contrasting leading edge, top or bottom borders, buttons or other trim please call our sales line on 0844 800 6306 or email us by clicking here.
We can make to any design. All our blinds are lined. We have 100% cotton sateen lining in white, cream and ivory as standard. A great range of coloured linings are available at additional cost. We would not recommend using brightly coloured linings for south or south-west facing windows as the sun is capable of draining the colour from the lining in a couple of years.
Blackout Lining can be used if you are sensitive to light. This is not black and can be used with even the palest of fabrics.
Interlining is an extra layer of ‘bump’ between the curtain fabric and lining. If you would like thick blinds that look sumptuous and flow with fluid movement or have draughty windows, we would recommend interlining. Some of our more delicate fabrics, for example silk blinds need to be interlined to help protect this delicate fabric. All our interlined blinds are hand sewn.
Key Points
- Fix the track or pole before measuring,
- The track or pole should extend beyond the window on either side, to allow room for the curtains to be drawn back off the window,
- Always use a metal tape measure, as a cloth or plastic tape may stretch.
Track Width
Measure the track or pole itself, not the window.- For a single track, measure the overall length. If the track overlaps in the middle, include the overlap.
- If you require 'returns', add these to the overall width.
- For a curtain pole, measure the width of the pole between the decorative finials.
Curtain Length
If using a track, measure from the top of the track. If using a pole, measure from the hook of the ring to allow the pole to be seen above the curtains. Note For tab, tie and eyelet curtains measure from the top of the pole.
Measure to either:- 1 cm above the sill for SILL LENGTH(A)
- The desired length below for BELOW SILL LENGTH (B)
- 1cm above the carpet for FULL LENGTH (C)
- 2-5cm below the carpet for BREAKING LENGTH (C)
- up to 15cm below the carpet for PUDDLED LENGTH (C)
