Customer Reviews
Such an easy process! We had incurred issues with another company who cut our curtain rails to the incorrect size three (!) times or sent us curtain rails that were different shades of white! With Direct Fabrics, we received the correct curtain rails, in the correct colour first time!! I wish we just came here from the beginning.
Very happy with our curtain, quality product and good customer service.
Really happy with my experience. We ordered the multi channel flat track system in black to fit to our back door. The quotes we received for curtains and tracks from other suppliers were way beyond what we were able to pay and glad I stumbled across this website because we've managed to save about £1500 on quotes by doing it ourselves, even with made to measure curtains. The track is way thinner than any of the other providers could offer, you can barely see it in the recess to the door. Installation was really easy once I googled how to do it. Checked that there were no electrical wires on the lintel, drilled a 3.5mm pilot hole into the steel with a steel drill bit and our regular drill, then attached the track using 4mm self tapping screws. I got this information from a local supplier though, but would be useful information to have on the website - I guess they're expecting trade buyers more so than consumers like me who are learning as they go. Customer service was very helpful though. Only negative was the track was left outside the house when nobody was home and could have been stolen, but this is an issue with the courier which I wouldn't hold against the supplier.
Update: It actually transpires that the product I ordered "Multi Channel Flat Track System | Slim | Ceiling Mount | Wave Compatible" is not wave compatible if the 2 channel system is purchased. As someone ignorant to curtains/tracks etc I wasn't able to deduce this from the website but the customer service has been quick to resolve the issue and update the website description to make this clearer in future.
Curtain track is exactly what we wanted, and excellent value for money!
My order was delivered super quickly and I was kept up to date with every step of the process. Also, after making a mistake during my order, I contacted Jane from the sales team and she rectified it without any issues. Many thanks.
We have used this track successfully for a curtain and a voile. It looks great and runs super smoothly.

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
Type of Curtains | Fitted On | Where to Measure from - to desired length |
Pencil Pleat Curtains | Curtain Track | Top of the Track - If using a extra wide track or designer track like silent gliss metropole, then measure from the underside of the track. |
Pencil Pleat Curtains | Curtain Pole | Measure from small ring at the bottom of eye under the ring, this is where your curtain clips into. |
Eyelet Curtains | Curtain Pole – Only | Top of the pole *we add on the upstand to our curtains, |
Pinch Pleat Curtains | Curtain Track | The underside of the track |
Wave Curtains | Curtain Track Designer Pole | The glider underneath the track. The curtain will sit under the track. |
Acoustic Curtains | See Heading Style of Choice above | 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
