Excellent service. Bought 4 x 3m of thick colourful curtain lining fabric. Company was very helpful with advice prior to purchase including sending colour samples. Material arrived promptly on a long roll and is excellent quality and exactly what I wanted.
Such an excellent comapany to deal with with a wide range of FR fabrics ideal for the aplications we use. The staff are freindly and imformative and the samples really are useful.
Wow! I’m stunned, having ordered fabric yesterday afternoon I really didn’t expect it to arrive at my door at lunchtime today. What efficiency.
I’m really impressed by this company, no wonder they have such amazing reviews. The website is easy to use and has the information needed, the phone line is helpful and the fabric is just as pictured and described.
Definitely 5 stars.
Very responsive and helpful customer service. Also the delivery driver was very helpful as the fabric when it arrived (promptly!) was too heavy for me to lift by myself.
The great company!!! I work with Direct Fabrics two years. I sew curtains for new houses. Them fabrics have the highest quality. Customer service is very good. Thank You VERY MUCH. I am happy to work with you.
After getting ridiculous quotes for curtains, I looked online and found Direct Fabrics. Lots of choice and I received all the samples I asked for without question or payment needed. Great customer service, easy website to order from (or via phone if you want to double check anything). Quote is shown on the website and it's very reasonable pricing vs high street chains or local companies.
Good quality product, quick delivery. I wanted a specific bendable ceiling curtain track and Direct Fabrics had just what I needed. It came quickly and was very reasonably priced.

This is the second order I have placed with this company for fabric for our theatre and the service, advice and delivery has been excellent. Each time I have dealt with Jane who has been extremely helpful I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Great service! Samples arrived promptly, I received good advice when I had a couple of queries and after placing the order online, an actual person emailed me to let me know that my fabric had been dispatched. Very quick delivery too!
I'm making my curtains myself and the Mimas fabric is beautiful and so easy to work with. Very happy with my wave curtains!

Good range of materials. Excellent and speedy communication. You feel that your personal issues are their highest priority. Fast and well wrapped delivery.
An example of a company with good communication and an excellent supply system. Item ordered and supplied. well packed, within two days and the material was as requested of excellent quality.
Prompt delivery, great customer service- so good to be able to be able to speak to a real person who is also someone who knows what they talking about.
Great customer service and friendly staff the only negative was that I was not alerted sooner to a fabric being out of stock due to a flaw other than that excellent
My order was delt with promptly and I received emails to inform me of its progress. The delivery was slightly delayed but when I quired this Direct Fabrics responded immediately and I received my order the next day. The fabric is exactly what I wanted and I will use Direct Fabrics again.
Positively brilliant service. I was updated with the progress of my order throughout and because of delay they despatched it on 24 hour delivery.
Friendly efficient company.
Fantastic service - even though mine was only a small order, they couldn’t do enough to help the decision making and nothing was too much trouble very quick replies and sample service was so helpful. Prompt delivery
Excellent service and top quality fabric. Literally called with an emergency order and they got it to me on a Saturday one day after I had called my order in. Very professional and the staff made a very stressful time for me much easier. I would highly recommend direct fabrics any time.
Really liked the customer service at Direct Fabrics - great choice of fabrics but they understood exactly what I was looking for and sent out very promptly colour samples. keeping them on my contact list. thanks
We were looking for fire retardant curtain material and tried a variety of different places before choosing from Direct Fabrics. The choice and range is extensive. The advice we received over the phone was very helpful.
The fabric was just as described, it drapes very well, looks nice and is just what we needed.
The only thing I could ask for to make the experience easier would be for the website to respond more quickly when trying to view the different fabrics available.
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.
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
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.
