We were a little apprehensive about putting this up, as a not particularly competent DIYers. However the instructions were clear and with a few hours' work the pole was up in a bay window with four bends including backward wrap around the wall. It looks fab and the glide is really smooth. Very impressed with how well it is holding our 10 kg curtains on the ceiling mount too.

Ordered a metal curtain track in dispair
Review by
Ordered a metal curtain track in dispair, after a local shop lost my address 3 times. I needed to get track up to fit curtains and keep out the cold. Track easy to order. I found it very reasonably priced. It was supposed to arrive in 7 days but came after 2. Hurrah! The track itself was tricky to fit, bearing in mind I had 6 angles to bend, but the description mentioned a competent DIYer would be able to fit. That's me then. Chuffed to bits with the product and service.

Excellent service from prompt reply to my initial email question, ordering on line and super quick delivery. The Curtain rail is really well made. The instructions for fitting could be a little better as the included pencil type images caused some head scratching when working out how to bend the rail but with a little thought it was relatively simple. Recommended.

Thanks Jane Lovell
Review by
Online assistant Jane Lovell was old-school helpful, not reading from a script like many other Live Chat experiences. These five stars are for her really. Couple of points for the manufacturer: instructions should include maths for the bay window bend, as it's more complex than it sounds. Using a knee to help bend the track results in too acute an angle: would suggest a saucepan or something else. But Direct Fabrics service excellent!

Sometimes the best gauge of a company is how they respond when something goes wrong. Our order arrived without one of the items but when I advised Direct Fabrics, they immediately advised the reason for the error and dispatched by mail. We then discovered that fittings in a kit were incorrect. Again, there was an explanation and the correct items were sent by Mail. Full marks for customer service. One star deduction for warehouse not fully checking before dispatch. The products were good quality, good value and the videos on bending aluminium tracks were very helpful.

We've bought an aluminium bendable curtain track which we have now bent and fitted into our living room. The product appears to be good quality and as described on your website, so we are pleased with it. We have not put any curtains up yet (as we have not yet had them made), but don't see any reason why the track and gliders should not perform very satisfactorily as detailed on your website. its a good looking product!

Great Curtains and Curtain Track
Review by
Went online looking for curtain tracking that is stronger than the standard plastic tracking for our 16kg bay window curtains which had fallen down. On line advice re weight range for options clear on website and we went for the aluminium tracking (up to 20kg). Arrived promptly, well packaged and with fitting instructions which are a lot clearer/easy to follow than for many (general) purchases, eg, guidance on taking measurements for where the bends need to be, and clear instruction on how to successfully achieve the bends in the rail. I struggled to get the rail attached properly to one of the supports next to one 90 degree curve, and the curve does seem quite tight even though I used the slightly wider imperial measurements in the instructions for placing the supports at the corners. This in turn has led to the curtain catching slightly going round that curve. However, overall, very pleased with the purchase and it no longer feels like the curtains are going to fall down every time they are opened/closed! ** Update... The catching on the corner problem has eased with a few weeks use, and everything feeling very secure.... Excellent!

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

how to measure for curtains

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

How to measure for blinds inside thet 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.
