Top tip: Any of our curtains lined with our blackout lining are thermally certified to reduce heat loss by 30% over a double glazed window.
Expectation setting: This is a printed curtain fabric range (not a blackout fabric by default). Blackout performance depends on the lining you specify. If you require dimout or blackout as the face fabric, select the relevant base cloth option or contact the team.
Gallerie range overview
Capturing watercolour-effect design, the Gallerie collection is built around fresh, contemporary prints inspired by hand-painted impressionist artwork. The palette moves through light, summery tones designed to shift the mood of a room while remaining practical for contract curtain manufacture.
The collection supports a coordinated approach, with the designs suited to curtains and complementary soft furnishings such as cushions, pelmets and tiebacks. Pattern repeats are listed in the specifications section to support planning and making-up.
Base cloth options: Our printed designs are available across a selection of base cloths including satin, panama, dimout, blackout, sheers and upholstery fabrics. Base cloth selection changes handle, finish, and performance characteristics, so ensure the chosen option matches the end-use requirement.
Where this fits in our range
Gallerie sits within our printed flame retardant fabric ranges for made-to-measure curtains, specified when you want a decorative print rather than a plain. As standard, we recommend prints on the satin base cloth for a flatter finish and straightforward maintenance, with upgrades available where dimout/blackout or alternative handle is required.
Best suited for
- Contract curtain schemes requiring a print-led design
- Projects needing made-to-measure manufacture with lining choice to suit the brief
- Co-ordinated soft furnishings where pattern repeat information is required
Printed flame retardant curtains: base cloth guidance
Prints offer a value-led route into flame retardant curtain fabrics. As standard, we recommend our printed curtain fabrics on our satin base cloth. The satin base cloth is a soft fabric that is tightly woven to give a flatter finish, commonly specified for care environments where ease of cleaning is important.
The satin material can be washed at 71°C for thermal disinfection. Ensure you follow the maximum temperature allowed by the selected lining: standard polyester 71°C, 3 pass blackout FR 40°C, and M1 FR 71°C.
Optional upgrade to panama, dimout or blackout base cloths is available. If you need guidance on the most suitable base cloth for your project, contact the team.
Who uses the Gallerie printed FR range
Specified for contract curtain and soft furnishing schemes where a decorative print is required, and where flame retardant performance is expected as part of the overall project requirements.
Common applications include made-to-measure curtains, chairs, bedding and accessories such as cushions, pelmets and tiebacks, subject to the base cloth selected for the end use.
Procurement and compliance support
For specification-critical projects, confirm the selected base cloth and lining combination during ordering. Washing instructions and any available certificates are provided in the spec tab for download and project file inclusion.

Further Information
Our curtain fabrics are selected and checked for quality issues and then we cut and measure everything by hand
In our UK based workrooms we continue the traditions of master curtain makers and offer the very best curtains that are British Made Specification
Our curtains are manufactured with various fullness's to suit our customer's requirements. For standard made to measure curtains, they are manufactured with 2x fullness also known as 100% fullness. This means that you get beautifully pleated curtains
Please see the further information section about curtain fullness
When manufacturing curtains we join widths of the curtain material to get the required width to cover your curtain track. Example a track width of 140cm in a single curtain would have circa 2 widths of material in assuming the material is 140cm wide. Widths are rounded up to the nearest full width. This means there will be a joining seam in larger curtains.
Our curtains are delivered pulled and hooked. So the curtains are pleated to your track widths and folded neatly for delivery. The hooks have been inserted so all you have to do is clip them into your track or pole.
All lining options from Direct Fabrics are flame retardant certified to BS5867 and can be used in commercial environments.
Unlined Curtains are a good option if you are looking for a low cost option. If the fabric is dimout or blackout it will provide you with a good amount of shading for the rooms with these curtains, dimout will be 90%+ and blackout with a 3 pass coating will be 100% blackout. Obviously depending where the track is located it will depend how much light will come through.
Standard polyester fr lining is a low cost option that provides extra fullness and helps your curtains drape better. The Polyester lining can be washed at 50 times and is inherently flame retardant. It will provide additional shade on standard fabrics and on dimout and blackout fabrics it is used to add a more luxurious feel.
3 Pass blackout lining is Direct Fabrics choice for all curtains as it makes a room have no light come through the curtain. Certified to BS5867 Part2B so can be washed 10 times. The 3 pass coating is very hard wearing and provides a thermal benefit aswell as making your curtain drape better./p>
Duo Blackout Lining Fleece Flame Retardant Lining Ivory
Duo Lining Fleece Blackout Lining , a very heavy weight full lining that is an interlined option with the 3 pass blackout lining attached. The Duo lining is an excellent acoustical absorber of sound and will improve room acoustics.

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

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
