Classic Roller Blinds
A simple laminated blind that can be placed inside or outside a window frame. You can choose from a straight or shaped finish. The blind comes ready to fit with all the fixtures you need and an easy open and close cord pulley system. Estimated delivery is 3 – 4 weeks after payment date.
Measuring for Roller Blinds:
Face (outside recess) – The blind will be fixed directly onto the wall, ceiling or window frame. The blind will be made to the exact measurements given; the drop is usually the measurement to your sill.
Recess – The blind goes into the recess frame or architrave. The blind will be made to the exact measurements given; the drop is usually the measurement to your sill.
Traditional Gathered Curtains
Traditional Gathered Curtains are made with a standard heading height of 5cm, a 1” header tape and 2.5 widths gather. Professionally machine finished; estimated delivery is 4 – 6 weeks after payment date.
Measuring for Gathered Curtains:
The failsafe way to measure for curtains is to have a track or pole installed first.
To measure for the width you will need to measure the entire track including any returns or overlaps, or the entire pole excluding the finials (decorative end parts).
To measure the length you will need to measure from the eye of the track or the eye of the ring on the pole to the desired drop length. Do not include the fabric heading (the section above the hooks) in your measurements. We recommend adding 2cm in length for curtains to break onto the floor. If the floor is uneven, take the longer length.
Chic Roman Blinds
A smart flat folding blind which can either fit inside or outside a window frame. The blind comes ready to fit with all the fixtures you need and an easy open and close cord pulley system. Estimated delivery is 3 – 4 weeks after payment date.
Measuring for Roman Blinds:
Face (outside recess) – The blind will be fixed directly onto the wall, ceiling or window frame. The blind will be made to the exact measurements given; the drop is usually the measurement to your sill.
Recess – The blind goes into the recess frame or architrave. The blind will be made to the exact measurements given; the drop is usually the measurement to your sill.
Lining for Curtains and Blinds
All of our custom made curtains and blinds come fully lined. The lining choice can transform your room so we offer three options:
- Standard - 100% cotton lining; available in white or cream.
- Blackout lining - keeps most of the light out; ideal for children’s bedrooms, but please bear in mind that some light will seep through along the top and sides of both curtains and blinds. Available in white or cream.
- Interlining - a light wadded fabric that can be added to curtains with either a plain lining or a blackout lining to give a heavier weight to curtains to keep out draughts. Interlining is not available on blinds.
