Expectation setting: This is a dimout face fabric (source states ~95% dimout) and is not blackout. Light control will vary by colour, lining choice and installation. For specification-critical projects, confirm performance requirements before ordering.
Overview
The herringbone range is described as an acoustic curtain face fabric, intended to help reduce echo and reverberation of sound around a space. The herringbone weave adds texture and visual structure, making it suitable for curtains and coordinated soft furnishings.
The source content references using different linings to achieve additional sound performance, including use as a room divider. Where acoustic performance is required, lining selection and installation details should be agreed at specification stage.
Washing instructions and certificates are available in the spec tab where applicable.
Best suited for
- Projects requiring a herringbone-textured face fabric with dimout intent (source states ~95%).
- Spaces where reducing echo and reverberation is part of the brief (e.g. multipurpose rooms, meeting areas, larger rooms).
- Room divider curtain applications where lining choice and make-up are part of the overall performance solution.
Where this fits in our range
This sits within our acoustic-focused curtain face fabrics, combining a herringbone appearance with dimout intent. Choose this when you want a textured contract-style face fabric and you may be specifying linings to support acoustic and light-control requirements.
Colour card image provided in the original content.
Who uses it
Suitable where a flame retardant curtain face fabric is specified for contract interiors and acoustic intent is part of the brief. Typical applications include room dividers and spaces where echo and reverberation reduction is required.
Confirm project compliance, cleaning regime and performance requirements via the spec tab documentation before order and manufacture.
Acoustic intent
The source description positions this range to help reduce echo and reverberation. Additional sound results referenced in the source content relate to lining selection and multi-layer curtain build-ups.
Dimout intent
The source content states ~95% dimout for the face fabric (nearly blackout when unlined). For higher light exclusion, specify a blackout lining as part of the curtain build-up.

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
Where to Measure From for Different Type of Curtains

|
Pencil Pleat Curtains |
Curtain Pole |
Measure from small ring at the bottom of eye under the ring, this is where your curtain clips into. |

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
