About Your Custom Curtains
Sometimes, you need some flexibility when it comes to home curtains and fixed dimensions won't fit. That's why customised curtains in bespoke sizes allow you to enhance any space, from small cottage windows to large patio doors. Depending on your existing curtain rail, you can choose from 3 hanging styles; metal eyelets in 2 sizes, wire hanging or tape heading.

How to Make Your Customised Curtains
Before we can make anything, we need the dimensions of the space you're looking to fill. So that your custom curtains don't look like a flat sheet when pulled to, you'll need to consider the pleating and ruffles when calculating your width. For tape heading, we suggest 2x the area of your window or stage space, and 1.8x the area for eyelets. See Design Tips for further information.
Using dye sublimation, your custom curtains have a deep, rich and vibrant print as the fibres fuse deep into the Suede Vision fabric fibres. Cut to size and hemmed by hand, everything is finished to an exceptionally high quality.
Care Instructions
The curtains are fire rated and water repellent, so you can wipe down with a mildly damp cloth to clean and remove any dust.
NB: If you are making curtains for a non domestic setting, eg College or public space, it will be a requirement that the curtains are certified as fire rated. We offer a fire rated front single layer and a fire rated lining too so you can have 1 or 2 layer fire rated to BS 5867 - 2:2008 Fabrics for curtains, drapes, and window blinds. Be sure to order the FR version (FR stands for Fire Rated) in the options.
Design Tips
When calculation the dimensions, please make sure you account for ruffles/pleats/fullness.
Tape heading example: Window is 2m wide. 2 x 2 = 4m of fabric.
Eyelets example: Window is 2m wide. 2 x 1.8 = 3.6m of fabric.
Just to be safe, we'd advise to consider an additional 1cm of fabric all around, for hemming and in the case of fabric shrinkage. Fabric shrinkage can be 2-6%, so please take this into consideration. For sizes above 150 cm, we might have to stitch multiple panels together to produce the curtain. We will contact you via email to get your confirmation before we print and produce.
Please Note: Allow 12 cm at the top of your design for eyelets

Print Guideline
![DPI-Print Guideline Icon]()
What's the best resolution to print in?
We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally, your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi, this means that no resizing of your file occurs stopping any interpolation.
![Jpeg-Tiff Print Guideline Icon]()
Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?
For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.
![RGB-CMYK Print Guideline Icon]()
Which colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?
If each individual colour is specifically important to your design, choose CYMK as our setup will print each colour with the closest possible match within our available range. If the relationship between the colours within the image is more important, choose RGB, this will reduce all colours equally to fit within our range.
![GSM ICON]()
What does GSM mean?
Grams per Square Meter (GSM) is an international standard for measuring the weight of paper or fabric. GSM uses the weight of a square meter (1000 x 1000mm) as an indication of the weight and thickness of a given fabric. We class 20-100gsm as light (summer fabrics, gauzes and fine silks), 101-249 gsm as medium (most clothing fabrics) and 250+ gsm as heavy (upholstery fabrics, and other specialist fabrics).
![Fill Bleed Areas ICON]()
What are the bleed areas?
When designing your product, it’s best to make sure that your image is slightly larger than needed. In printing, the extra printed image is referred to as a “Bleed Area” or margin, and it is removed from the finished piece. A bleed area acts as a buffer for slight inconsistencies in the manufacturing process. however, it’s important to fill your bleed areas completely, or you may end up with white, unprinted strips along the edge of your finished product.
![Transfer-Print Guideline Icon]()
Do you print on garments a customer supplies?
Unfortunately not. All our garments are printed on flat fabric and sewn into finished products, which gives a better, finished result and all-over print. We test meticulously so that we know what gets the best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them. We do however print sublimation paper to order, so if you have access to a heat press you can press your fabrics or flat garments easily.
![Pattern Alignment Across Seams ICON]()
Can you Align a Pattern or design across panels of a garment?
We always strive for the greatest accuracy when printing and constructing your garments. However, due to unavoidable stretch or movement of the fabric during the stitching process, we cannot guarantee perfect pattern registration across garment seams. We are generally accurate within 2-3mm, which Is close enough for most patterns but may show slight issues with detailed geometric patterns.
![print label option icon]()
Can I print my own Labels?
Most of our garments now come with printable label space for you to add your own company information and branding! If you would like to sew in your own labels, we also offer Printed Fabric Labels here.
![Eco friendly Printing]()
How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility in London where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfillment.
Please note: As everything we provide is handmade to order, all measurements may vary slightly.
