Expectation setting: This is a blackout lining (not a face fabric). Blackout fabric reduces incoming light significantly, but total darkness also depends on installation details such as heading, return, overlap and any light gaps at the sides and top.
Why specify Drapewell FR blackout lining
Drapewell is positioned as a heavy-weight, soft-drape flame retardant blackout lining. It is used behind decorative face fabrics to help control light and to add structure and body to the finished curtain.
The product is listed as a 3 pass blackout lining and is certified to BS5867 Part 2B, supporting specification for contract environments where flame retardancy is required.
For compliance-critical projects, please refer to the specifications tab for the latest care guidance and supporting certificates.
Where this fits in our range
Drapewell is a contract-suitable FR blackout lining option for projects that need a heavier handle and a lining that supports blackout performance. Choose this when blackout lining and BS5867 Part 2B certification are key requirements; select a lighter lining when you need less body in the make-up.
Best suited for
- Hotel and hospitality curtains where blackout lining is specified
- Care environments and public buildings requiring BS5867 Part 2B lined curtain specification
- Made-to-measure manufacturing where added body and a structured finish are required
Who uses Drapewell flame retardant blackout lining
Commonly specified for contract curtain manufacture in hospitality and wider commercial settings where blackout lining is required and flame retardancy must be evidenced to BS5867 Part 2B.
Drapewell is supplied per metre for professional workrooms and site-fit projects, supporting consistent make-up across multiple rooms and repeat orders.
Practical notes for specifiers
As a lined system, blackout results depend on the full curtain build and installation. Consider returns, overlaps and appropriate headings to minimise light gaps.
Care instructions and certificates are available in the specifications tab for handover packs and compliance files.

How to Measure For Curtains, Blinds and Tracks.
Pen and Paper
For recording your
measurements.
Helper
Someone to assist if your
windows are large .
Metal Tape Measure
As this will allow you to get a
rigid full length measurement.
Make sure your curtain tracks and poles are fitted in the position you want.
Choose the type of curtains that you would like and how you want to hang your curtains. See our heading styles guide
We recommend fitting your hardware first before measuring, this avoids any issues with not getting the perfect fit.
Measure your window using our main guide. Quick summary below. Remember wave, pinch, and designer headings require slightly different measurement
Measure in 3 places and take the shortest drop – Floors and ceilings can run out.
Double / Triple check your measurements
Choosing your Curtain Track Width
The width of the curtain track should extend past your window this allows for the curtains to stack back away from your window and allow light in.
Measure your recess and then add on 15cm on either side. For acoustics , we recommend further to fully cover the window and the surrounding area. In our test we added an additional 30cm to the width and also made the curtain floor length.
Wave curtains, for every 100cm of track the curtains will stack circa *18cm
Eyelet curtains, they will stack back circa 10cm per *70cm of track width
Pencil Pleat will stack approx 25% of the track width. eg. 210cm track will stack 52.5%
* all dependent on thickness of fabric
Selecting your Curtain Drop

Same but make sure wider than normal ideally 30cm past either side and 30 above. Also to the floor. |
How to Measure for Blinds going Inside the Recess
- Measure the exact width of the recess in three places; at the top of the recess, in the centre of the recess and near the bottom - then take the smallest size.
- Measure the exact drop of the recess in three places on the left hand side of the recess, in the centre of the recess and on the right hand side of the recess - then take the smallest size.
- We will take one cm off the finished width size you have given us, to allow for the blind to pull up and down easily.
- Double check your measurements
- Cord Safety - Mounting Height - We ask for the mounting height of your blinds to allow for the cord to be 150cm off the ground. If mounting at 210cm This is what you enter in the Fitting height box. We make a deduction to ensure the cord is 150cm from the floor. Thus the cord loop will be 60cm
How to Measure Outside of the Recess
- Measure the recess in 3 places on the width and also 3 places on the drop. Take the widest measurement.
- Measure the width of the actual recess plus an additional amount – Usually from 7cm-15cm whatever you think looks appropriate. This is for overlap.
- Measure the exact drop of the recess. The blind would be fitted above the recess, so check the space above and add an amount on to the drop – usually from 7-15cm
- These sizes you have taken will be the size of the finished blind.
- Double check your measurements
- Cord Safety - Mounting Height - We ask for the mounting height of your blinds to allow for the cord to be 150cm off the ground. If mounting at 210cm This is what you enter in the fitting height box. We make a deduction to ensure the cord is 150cm from the floor. Thus the cord loop will be 60cm
Cubicle Tracks you have to measure with right angles from wall to wall where you want the track to go
Draw your room on a piece of paper with a sky view
Now measure from the wall to wall for straight tracks,
L Shape Tracks Measure to a point on the floor and mark with a piece of tape. Then for the other sides measure from the other wall to that point.
Always check for obstructions and fitting issues you may need to work around
