Linings

For improved drape and to protect curtains and roman blinds from the effects of daylight and condensation at the window, we recommend that all curtains and roman blinds are lined.  The key features of our linings are outlined below.  All linings are pale ivory unless otherwise specified.
 
Twill Lining 
This is our standard lining for Curtain Express curtains and roman blinds.  It has a crease-resistant finish and offers a fantastic drape.  
 
Deluxe Satin Lining 
This is a heavier quality than our standard twill lining and will add additional body to your curtain or blinds. It also has an easy-care finish for a fantastic drape. 
 
Thermal Lining 
Thermal linings have insulating properties which help to reduce heat transmission (in or out) and help conserve energy. 
 
Blackout Lining 
This lining will significantly reduce the amount of light coming through the window, although some light will still be visible around the edge of the curtain or blind. To minimise this effect, please ensure that your curtains (or roman blind) extend at least 10cm beyond each edge of the window. Blackout lining also has excellent thermal properties.  Available in Pale Ivory & White.
 
Bonded Interlining 
A polyester interlining is fused to our Deluxe Satin lining for a more luxurious drape. Interlining also has 'dim out' properties, reducing light compared to other linings (except blackout). It also has the best insulation properties of all linings including thermal & blackout linings. 
 
Due the additional weight and thickness, we do not recommend bonded interlining for pencil pleat or pinch pleat curtain headings as it is difficult to create even pleats. 
 
Bonded Blackout Interlining 
Specifically for roman blinds, this fuses a polyester interlining to our Blackout lining for a more luxurious drape with blackout properties. As with Blackout lining some light will still be visible around the edge of the blind so to minimise this effect please ensure that your roman blind extends at least 10cm beyond each edge of the window.  Like our regular bonded interlining, it also has even better insulation properties than thermal or blackout lining, retaining more heat than all other lining types. 
 
Due the additional weight and thickness, bonded blackout interlining is only available with Roman Blinds.
