Expectation setting: This is a blackout lining designed to significantly reduce incoming light. Final “blackout” results depend on installation details such as track position, overlap/returns and light gaps around edges.

Overview: extra-wide FR blackout lining for contract and domestic curtain making

Drapewell is a 3-pass flame retardant blackout lining supplied by the metre in an extra-wide 280cm width. It is intended for use behind face fabrics to deliver light control and add body to the finished curtain.

The product is listed as BS5867 Part 2B flame retardant, supporting specification-led use in commercial environments. For compliance-led projects, reference the certification and supporting documents in the specifications tab.

The source description positions Drapewell as a heavier-weight lining option chosen to improve drape and finish, including hospitality applications where a more substantial curtain handle is preferred.

Specifier note

For project documentation, use the specifications tab for the latest care guidance and flame retardant certification. Washing instructions and certificates can be requested/confirmed from the spec information provided.

Where this fits in our range

Drapewell sits as our extra-wide (280cm) 3-pass blackout lining option with BS5867 Part 2B certification. Choose it when you want fewer joins on wider curtains and a heavier lining to add body behind the face fabric.

If you are comparing options:
  • Compare widths where minimising seams is a priority.
  • Compare listed weight/handle if drape and body are critical.
  • Confirm care compatibility with the selected face fabric in the specs tab.

Thermal note

Drapewell is listed as a thermal blackout lining. The source description states a 30% reduction in heat loss through windows when used as a 3-pass blackout lining. Results will vary by window type, fit and installation method.

Who uses our Drapewell flame retardant blackout lining

Specified for both domestic and contract curtain making where a blackout lining is required and BS5867 Part 2B compliance is a key requirement.

Commonly selected for hospitality rooms and commercial refurbishments where the existing face fabric needs improved light control and a more substantial finish without changing the decorative fabric.

Best suited for

  • Hotel, serviced accommodation and contract rooms needing a blackout lining behind a face fabric.
  • Wide drops where a 280cm lining helps reduce joins and improves the finished look.
  • Projects that require a lining listed as BS5867 Part 2B for UK public-space use.
  • Curtains where additional body and drape support are desired from the lining layer.

Application guidance

  • Allow for overlap/returns and appropriate track positioning to minimise edge light.
  • Confirm lining and face fabric compatibility for cleaning and maintenance schedules.
  • For compliance packs, reference the latest certificates and care instructions in the specs tab.

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

how to measure for curtains



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

Where to Measure From for Different Type of Curtains

Eyelet Curtains

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

How to measure for blinds inside thet 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
