Fabric appearance
Stage curtain specification

- Widths are calculated using the nearest whole number of fabric widths to achieve the correct fullness.

- Optional chain weights can be added to hems for improved drape.
Headings Options for Stage Curtains:
Pencil Pleat:
Pencil pleat is the traditional style of curtain heading that is a used in most windows and gives a lovely finish. You have the flexibility from the stitched in curtain tape which allows you to alter the height above your track and pole.
Webbing to snap hooks:
Webbing to Snap Hooks clips sewn into the heading tape that then clip straight into a stage track. Not all tracks are suitable for this. Please send over images of your current track if you need any help.

Tie tops:
Tie tops can be tied onto a pole or batten, great for backdrops and for curtains that need to be portable around different spaces.

Lining Options for Stage Curtains:
All lining options from Direct Fabrics are flame retardent certified to BS5867 and can be used in commercial enviroments.
Unlined:
Unlined Curtains are a good option if you are looking for a low cost option.

Lined:
Standard polyester FR lining is a low cost option that provides extra fullness and helps your curtains drape better. It will provide additional shade on standard fabrics and on dimout and blackout fabrics it is used to add a more luxurious feel.

Blackout lined:
3 Pass blackout lining is Direct Fabrics choice for all curtains as it is 100% blackout, allowing you to control the amount of light coming into a room, making perfect for bedrooms and other dark enviroments. The 3 pass coating is very hard wearing and provides a thermal benefit aswell as making your curtain drape better.

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.

The smoothest ordering process. Lovely Curtains.This is by far the smoothest ordering process I have had since I moved into my new house. Contacted them via web chat and the response was instant and all my questions were patiently answered (without even the promise of ordering from them). Georgina was fantastic throughout and sent me a wide range of samples to pick from. Order was estimated 6 weeks but impressively delivered in half the time. The fabric was well finished and feel as premium as the swatches previously sent. The pricing was reasonably decent compared to other suppliers I had previously contacted (plus I was offered a welcome discount..."every little helps" eh :). Overall I am very pleased with this company and will definitely be returning to dress the rest of the house.0 people found this helpful

How to Measure For Curtains, Blinds and Tracks.
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

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
SAVE TIME - Send your project requirements, large or small. Sample Lists etc
