Expectation setting: Iris is a blackout curtain range with a blackout thermal coating already applied. Lining is optional — adding lining can help the curtains drape fuller.
Top tip: Curtains lined with our blackout lining are stated as thermally certified to reduce heat loss by 30% over a double glazed window. Thermal certification details (where applicable) are available in the spec tab.
What Iris is designed to do
Iris is a blackout, flame retardant curtain option with a two-tone textured surface, specified where light control and a more textured finish are required. It is produced for use as curtain fabric / soft furnishing and is commonly selected for commercial and individual projects.
The range is offered in 28 colours, making it practical for matching across rooms and coordinating with accessories in a second colour.
Fire performance is stated to BS 5867 Part 2B. Certificates and washing/cleaning guidance can be found in the specification tab.
Where this fits in our range
Choose Iris when you need a blackout specification with a subtle, two-tone texture and a wide colour choice. If you want a plainer visual or a lighter daylight-control option, select an alternative plain or dimout range instead.
- Bedrooms and guest rooms where light control is required
- Hospitality, care and education projects specifying BS 5867 Part 2B curtains
- Multi-room schemes needing a broad, consistent colour bank
Who specifies Iris
Iris is commonly used for contract and commercial installations including hotels, care homes and schools, and is also suitable for individual projects where blackout curtains are required.
The colour range supports coordinated schemes — for example, specifying curtains in one shade and selecting accessories in another for a controlled, consistent interior finish.
Contract note
For projects that require documented compliance, certificates and cleaning guidance are available in the spec tab. Please ensure site-specific requirements match the stated standard before ordering.

This fabric is coated with a 3pass blackout coating. This means it has been sealed 3 times and to ensure that the material is totally blackout. The coating is an off white coating which reflects heat out of a window when the curtains are drawn. The 3 pass coating also adds thermal benefits with a heat retention when used over a double glazed window of 30%. Therefore your rooms will be cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

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

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
