What is Curtain Fullness & What Fullness will my Curtains be?

What does curtain fullness mean and how much do I need? Curtain fullness refers to how much fabric is used compared to the width of your curtain track or pole. More fullness creates deeper pleats and a more luxurious finish when the curtains are closed. At Direct Fabrics we manufacture most made to measure curtains as standard using 2x the track width , also known as double fullness . This is the industry standard for pencil pleat and eyelet curtains, and means you do not need to calculate or choose fullness unless you want something different. We automatically allow for the correct amount of fabric and round up widths where needed to ensure the best finish. Certain heading styles, such as pinch pleat or wave, require more fabric due to how the pleats are formed, and are handled automatically based on the heading you select. For a visual explanation, examples and guidance on how fullness affects the appearance of your curtains, see our full guide on Understanding Curtain Fullness .

Overview of EB Twinkle White FR voile fabric

EB Twinkle White FR Fabric is a wide-width voile with a textured finish intended for light window coverings. The weave is specified as subtle and soft, delivering privacy and glare reduction while still allowing natural daylight through.

This fabric is listed as flame retardant and supplied as a voile. It is a practical option where you need a sheer layer that reads clean in white but with more surface interest than a plain voile.

For specification-critical work, rely on the Specifications tab for the latest care guidance and documentation. Certificates and supporting information are supplied via the product attachments / on request.

Where this fits in our range

Choose Twinkle White when you need a wide-width FR voile with a textured effect for privacy sheers. If you want the most minimal look, a plain voile may be a better match; if you need light exclusion, specify a dimout or blackout instead.

Best suited for

Daytime privacy sheers behind main curtains (including blackout) for flexible light control.
Wide glazing and tall drops where a 300cm wide fabric can help reduce joins.
Projects wanting a white voile with subtle texture rather than a plain sheer.

Who uses EB Twinkle White FR Fabric

Specified where a flame retardant sheer is required for soft screening and a clean finish. The wide-width construction is commonly selected for larger windows and contract-style installations where join minimisation matters.

Suitable for contract settings where a voile layer is needed to keep interiors bright while reducing visibility into the room. Always confirm site requirements and any documentation needed via the Specifications tab.

Contract clarification

This product is a sheer voile. If the brief requires blackout performance or strong night-time privacy, specify a blackout/dimout fabric for the main layer and use this as the privacy sheer where appropriate.
