Further Fabrics Specification
Transmittance is the amount of light and heat transmitted beyond the fabric. The lower the amount, the greater the efficiency. Block/reflect is the amount of heat
and light that is blocked or reflected. The higher the amount, the greater the efficiency.
Absorption is the amount of heat and light absorbed in the fabric. The higher the amount, the lower the efficiency.
Ultraviolet protection illustrates how protective the fabric is against ultraviolet rays. The higher the amount, the greater the effectiveness.
Shading Co-efficiency is tested using a single 6mm glass glazing system with and without a blind to obtain solar heat gain measurements. The heat gained with a blind at the window is divided by the solar heat gained without a blind at the window, giving the Shading Co-Efficient. The lower the result the better the performance of the blind at blocking solar heat.
Further Information on the Roller Blinds Mechanism
Strength and simplicity make the R20 the first choice for a vast range of applications. The choice of barrel size means that the blind is always ideally matched to the window size for optimum performance. Vandal resistant features include Slipstream® Technology: a friction reducing technology that aids smooth action, with an air cooled design and double spring function. It provides you with enhanced hold, an exceptionally longer lifespan of the blind and advanced chain loading. It has a metal control chain, and the fabric is locked into the barrel and bottom bar. It is installed using sturdy, stylish metal brackets.

Fantastic service, blind arrived within 3 days and fits perfectly.
l had my home transformed by Direct Fabrics who did a great job from start to finish. A written quote was given with no pressure to complete the sale, I changed my mind on a few of the original ideas and this was no problem. The team were genuinely interested in making sure I was informed and satisfied every step of the way and gave me some extra ideas that I included in the final project. The workmanship was top quality and the team went the extra mile to get everything finished to a high standard. A first class job by a first class team, highly recommended.
I ordered 6 roller blinds for a large conservatory. Was guided through the ordering and measuring process, which was checked by Direct Fabrics a number of times to ensure the dimensions were correct.
Had to change colour choice but this was dealt with swiftly by sending some colour swatches which was really helpful as on a monitor, colours can vary.
Blinds arrived quickly and fitted perfectly - and look great.

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
