More choice for your space

More choice in colour, pattern and style.

Choose from a wider range of curtains, beyond those sold as fire-retardant.

Treatment for finished curtains.

We treat ready-made and made-to-measure curtains, so there’s no need to send fabric rolls for treatment before they’re made.

Buying new or keeping what you have?

01 / BUYING CURTAINS

Choose curtains for your space.

Find the colour, pattern and style you want, then use the calculator below to compare the combined purchase and treatment cost.

02 / CURTAINS YOU OWN

Treat the curtains you already own.

Keep the curtains that work for your space and have them professionally treated. Existing curtains need to be free of dust.

What could your curtains cost?

Enter your measurements for a treatment estimate. Curtains up to 3m wide × 3m high can be treated in-house; larger curtains need on-site treatment.

Your curtain measurements

Measure each curtain’s full width laid flat and its drop. Count individual curtains, not pairs. Add another group for different sizes or linings.

Optional — enter the total price, including VAT, of the curtains you want us to treat. We’ll add the treatment cost so you can compare with buying fire-retardant curtains.

This price is for your comparison only and won’t be transferred to the quote form.

Lined curtains count as twice the face-fabric area in this estimate.

Look beyond the purchase price

Treatment or inherently FR curtains?

Treatment is usually cheaper than buying inherently fire-retardant curtains, especially for larger curtains or greater quantities. Compare the total costs for your project below.

Initial costCurtain purchase, if needed, plus treatment and VAT. Minimum charges apply.Compare a supplier’s price for the equivalent size, quantity and specification.
Getting it doneAllow for transport for in-house treatment or mileage for on-site work.Include delivery and any fitting or other charges in the supplier’s quote.
CleaningDry-clean only. Washing removes the treatment and requires retreatment.Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions; don’t assume every product can be washed.

About treatment certificates

A few useful answers

Do you supply the curtains?

No. We don’t sell or supply ready-made fire-retardant curtains. We treat curtains you buy or already own.

Can you treat curtains that are already hanging?

Yes. We can treat curtains on site while they remain hanging.

Can every curtain fabric be treated?

Treatment depends on the face fabric and lining. Plastic blackout linings and other non-absorbent materials are unsuitable. We can discuss your curtains when you contact us.

What should I send for a quotation?

Send the full flat width and drop, lining details and number of individual curtains, along with your location. We’ll send a quote or ask for any missing information.

Do ordinary private domestic curtains need treatment?

This service is for public and commercial spaces; ordinary private domestic curtains do not generally need this treatment.
