Made-to-Measure Curtains in Stockton & Teesside

Why made-to-measure curtains?

Ready-made curtains only come in a handful of sizes, and most windows don't fit neatly into any of them. Made-to-measure curtains are sized to your window and to the track or pole they hang from, so they sit at the right length, gather evenly and draw fully clear of the glass when they're open.

The key choices

Heading

The heading is how the curtain is gathered at the top, and it shapes the whole look. Wave, eyelet, pencil pleat and pinch pleat headings each give a different look, from relaxed and modern to tailored and formal. If you're not sure, we'll talk you through each one.

Lining

A lining is the layer sewn behind the fabric you see. It protects the fabric and changes how the curtain performs: standard linings give the curtain body, blackout linings darken bedrooms, and thermal linings add an extra layer for colder rooms. For a bedroom, we'd usually suggest blackout.

Tracks and poles

The hardware affects both how the curtains look and how easily they move. You'll find the differences explained on our curtain tracks & poles page.

Things to consider

• Length: curtains can be floor-length, sill-length or finish just below the sill. We'll help you decide what suits the window and whatever sits beneath it.
• Stack-back: when curtains are open, the fabric gathers at each side of the window. Extending the track a little past the frame keeps more of the glass clear, so you don't lose daylight.
• Radiators: long curtains hanging over a radiator can trap its heat behind them, so we'll point this out if there's one under the window.
