Question 7

What does railroaded mean?

Accepted Answer

The term 'railroaded' refers to the orientation of the fabric's pattern as it is woven on the fabric roll.

Regular fabric: The design is orientated to run along the length of the fabric and is the correct way as it comes off the roll.

Railroaded fabric: The design is orientated to run along the width of the fabric (selvedge to selvedge) so that you must turn the roll 90 degrees to show the design running the correct way. The width of the fabric is then used for the curtain drop.

Some stripe designs and wide width curtain fabrics are often railroaded avoiding the need for seams. A standard wide width / drop should accommodate most window heights.

For more information, please contact a professional interior designer or curtain maker.

Question 8

What does 'half drop pattern repeat' mean?

Accepted Answer

A half drop pattern is where every other horizontal repeat (from side to side) is dropped down one half of its length i.e. the design repeats itself on the diagonal rather than the horizontal.

Regular horizontal repeat: The pattern repeats across the roll and is positioned at the same place at each selvedge, allowing a straight match for each cut of fabric.

Half drop repeat: The pattern repeats across the roll half way down the vertical repeat, usually to make the design repeats more interesting. This normally means allowing extra fabric for drapes and cutting very carefully as each cut will start at the half repeat.

For more information, please consult a professional interior designer or curtain maker.

Question 9

What is a Martindale rub test?

Accepted Answer

The Martindale test is an abrasion test used to measure the durability of a fabric. The warp and weft threads are abraded to simulate wear and tear.

Question 10

Does my fabric need to be fire retardant?

Accepted Answer

In the UK, all upholstered furniture must meet UK domestic or contract fire regulations.

The majority of our upholstery fabrics can be treated to enhanced levels of flame retardant performance on request. For more information please contact your interior designer or retailer. There are no current fire regulations in the UK for curtains, cushions and throws in general domestic situations.
