School Assembly Hall Curtains

School Hall Curtains - Bristol

Our client is a medium sizes primary school in the centre of Bristol. The school approached Direct Fabrics after a recommendation from another school in the area. Direct Fabrics were asked to supply and install new made to measure long length curtains for the school hall.

The hall had been freshly painted and the old curtains removed. The colours were neutral tones with off whites and greys. It was decided by the mangerial team that the curtains should be made with a flame retardant curtain material that was plain and economical in cost.

From the brief Direct Fabrics chose the mimas range due to its quality and excellent price point.

The hall is used for various assemblies and functions using a large projector. So to be able to darken the room the dark graphite dimout fabric was lined with a blackout lining. This enhanced the thermal effected of the old windows and also provides a blackout. Obviously some light can seep around the edges of the curtains, but the vast majority of the light had been blocked usingDirect Fabrics light out material.

Work Requested for the Client

The client is a prestigious school. They have decided to upgrade the school hall curtains. Previously fitted was very old vertical blinds and roller blinds to provide a standardised shading solution. However by nature blinds as a solid structure are not very good for acoustics. It was decided to use a flame retardant velvet material that was a trevira, this meant that it could be washed and continue to be flame retardant.

The tracking needed to be installed on the high slit windows all the way around the assembly hall of the school.

Products Required

The curtains were manufactured with a robust 3" pencil pleat heading, the curtain tracks installed were a combination of corded tracks that were child safe for the high windows and hand drawn heavy duty tracks for the lower windows.
