Accurate measuring ensures your blinds fit neatly and operate smoothly. Decide whether you’d like them fitted inside or outside the window recess, then measure width and drop accordingly.

Once your order is placed, your Roman blinds will be made to your exact measurements, with many hand-finished in our Cotswold workroom for a refined result.

Measure the width and drop of your window recess, or the exact size you’d like the blind to cover if fitting outside the recess. We recommend following our step-by-step measuring guides to help you achieve accurate results.

Our helpful measuring guide in the made to measure service section walks you through each step. Once you’ve ordered, your curtains will be carefully made to your exact measurements, with many hand-finished in our Cotswold workroom for the finest detail.

To ensure the perfect fit, measure the width of your pole or track, not the window itself, and decide on your desired curtain length (sill, below sill or floor length). For the best results, we recommend following our step-by-step measuring guide or contacting our expert team for advice.

Yes, we hold accounts with most of the UK's fabric brands and offer very competitive pricing. Simply click on a designer brand here and fill in the form.

Our local customers can benefit from an extensive made to measure offering. Visit one of our showrooms for more info. For those of your further afield we can make curtains, blinds, cushions, valances and seat pads. You can order curtains, blinds and cushions online on our website. For anything else please get in touch.

We have some great measuring guides here including easy to follow videos. On all of our fabrics we also have a fabric calculator tool which will calculate how much you need. If you need further advice then please get in touch with us.

Information about the suitability of the fabrics is stated in the 'Product Details' section under "Usage" on each fabric. You can also refine your fabric search by filtering by usage, for example curtains, blinds or upholstery.

Think about both practicality and style. Lighter cottons and linens are ideal for a relaxed, airy look, while heavier velvets and chenilles offer warmth and luxury. Also consider how much light you want to filter. Our inspiration guides are a helpful place to start, and you can always order free fabric samples to compare options at home.

Fabric requirements vary by furniture style and size. A standard armchair often needs 6–8 metres of upholstery fabric, while a three-seater sofa may take 12–16 metres. Pattern repeats can affect quantities, so it’s always worth adding extra to allow for matching. If in doubt, measure carefully and contact our team for guidance. We’ve put together a handyupholstery fabric calculator guidethat explains everything in more detail. Ordering fabric samples first will also help you visualise your chosen design on a larger scale.

When browsing fabrics you can filter via usage and then ' upholstery fire retardant', which displays all the relevant fabrics. We also put FR (fire retardant) after the name on any fabrics that are fire retardant. Any fabrics that aren't FR'd we can have treated to the relevant standard at an additional cost. If unsure please contact customer service.

For each fabric we include a specification. If a fabric is suitable for upholstery, it will be stated under the Upholstery Grade. Some of our fabrics are harder wearing than others and all are tested to a Martindale grade. The Martindale grade is an abrasion test used to measure the durability of a fabric. The warp and weft threads are abraded to simulate wear and tear. 

The rub test score is internationally recognised and measures the durability of upholstery fabric for general domestic or contract use. Fabric is categorised by a numerical score to show how durable it is. The higher the score, the more durable the fabric is.

A score of 10,000 or less: Decorative use

A fabric with this score is suitable as a decorative fabric. Use for cushions or accents. Not suitable for general domestic or furniture upholstery.

10,000 to 15,000: Light domestic use

A fabric with this score is suitable for light domestic use such as for occasional furniture. It will be dry clean only and is often for fabrics made from delicate yarns.

15,000 - 25,000: General domestic use

A fabric with this score is suitable for general domestic use. It is suitable for everyday use on main house furniture. It is not suitable for items of furniture that put a high level of stress on the fabric such as a recliner.

25,000 - 30,000: Heavy domestic use

A fabric with this score is suitable for high levels of everyday use. It is a heavy-duty fabric that would be suitable for light commercial use and items such as recliners and other motion furniture.

30,000 or more: Commercial use

A score of 30,000 or more means that a fabric is commercial grade, it can be used on heavy duty furniture and would be suitable for any commercial environment.

It is normal for washable fabrics to be subject to some degree of shrinkage, this can vary and is dependant on the type of fabric and the conditions it is used in. Unless stated we recommend to dry clean fabrics. Fading will occur naturally over time in most fabrics.

Choosing made to measure curtains or made to measure roman blinds ensures your window treatments are crafted to your exact measurements. This creates a professional finish and allows you to select from our full range of curtain fabrics. Our expert team handles every detail, from precise fabric quantities to pattern matching, so you get beautiful results tailored to your home.

Domestic:

  • A private apartment or home
  • Student flat (a self-contained property)
  • Non-permanent holiday home or caravan
  • A private dwelling treated as a holiday let
  • An Air BnB property

Non-domestic (medium Hazard)

  • Care Home

Some of our fabrics are already treated and this will be mentioned in the description or extra info. Other fabrics can often be treated to either Domestic or Contract requirement for an extra fee. Please get in contact with us to find out more. Always check with your upholsterer first as they can advise you whether you need your fabric treated or if you can use a barrier cloth.

No fabric is entirely fire-resistant, but some are more fireproof than others. Wool is generally the most naturally fire resistant fabric. It’s difficult to ignite, and if it does ignite, it burns slower than other fabrics. Furthermore, the construction of the fibres helps extinguish the flames. 

Our Cotswold Wool is fire resistant as well as being incredibly versatile and eco-friendly - being made from recycled wool fibres. Read our article here for more reasons to embrace wool fabric.

Regular fabrics can also be made fire resistant or retardant with a chemical treatment that resists flames. Our Vintage Velvet fabric is one such chemically treated fabric.

A durable fabric is one that stands the test of time when used regularly. Synthetic fabrics such as nylon, polyester or polyethylene are very durable. Of the natural fabrics, linen and silk are the strongest. 

However, which fabric to choose depends on its use. Each fabric has different qualities and will suit different projects. For example, it’s unlikely that you’ll want to use silk for outdoor furniture, and if you want to reupholster furniture, you should specifically choose upholstery fabric

The durability of a fabric usually depends on its weave (for natural fabrics) and its chemical properties (for synthetic fabrics). Our range of outdoor fabrics are specifically made with durability and water, stain and fade resistance in mind. 

At Just Fabrics, the most durable fabrics are those with a high martindale score, listed under the product details for many of our fabrics. The martindale test is an abrasion rub test that measures fabrics’ durability.

Yes, it really is. Because we specialise in buying surplus and end-of-line fabrics from top brands, some original RRPs can be surprisingly high — in many cases well over £100 per metre. When we secure these fabrics as clearance stock, we’re able to sell them at a fraction of that price, sometimes into single figures if you’re lucky and quick. Even in some of our seasonal sales, savings can go beyond 90%, but once a clearance fabric is gone, it’s gone.

Tracks & Poles

Yes, many curtain tracks are designed specifically for bay windows, allowing a smooth curve around the frame so your curtains hang neatly and operate with ease.

Yes, at Just Fabrics we offer a full made-to-measure curtain service. Our expert team can help you select the right fabric and ensure your curtains are perfectly tailored to your chosen pole or track.

Measure the width of your window and allow extra space on either side so curtains can stack back neatly. For poles, choose a length that extends beyond the window frame. For tracks, ensure the size matches your window width and layout, especially for bays or recesses.

Curtain poles are decorative and visible, often made from wood or metal, and add a stylish finishing touch to your window. Curtain tracks are more discreet, usually hidden from view, and allow curtains to glide smoothly along the rail.

Both can work for heavy curtains, but a sturdy curtain pole with strong brackets is often preferred for a decorative finish. For large windows or bay windows, heavy-duty curtain tracks are an excellent choice as they provide even support and effortless movement.

William Morris

Yes, our made to measure service allows you to create bespoke William Morris roman blinds and roller blinds, crafted in your chosen fabric and lining for a perfect fit.

Our William Morris curtains are available as beautifully finished ready made pairs, designed for easy hanging and instant impact. They’re fully lined for quality and drape, with blackout options also available.
