Every fabric we sell is inherently fire retardant – the flame-retardant performance is built into the fibre, not applied as a finish, so it will not wash or wear out over the life of the curtain. Enter your sizes and header style above and we will make your curtains here in the UK, whether that is a single window or every room in a building. Fire certificates are available with every order, ready for O&M manuals and building sign-off. For larger projects, or if you would like us to price several rooms in one go, request a quote and we will take it from there.

Fire Retardant Care & Maintenance
Fire performance: B1 (Germany), EN 13773, BS 5867 Part 2 Type B, IMO FTP Code 2010 Part 7. These are the fabric's tested classifications. Where curtains are made up with a lining or interlining, BS 5867 certification applies to the tested combination — ask us if your project needs assembly test evidence.
Always check any care label supplied with your curtains, and avoid harsh detergents, bleach or steam cleaning, which can affect the fabric's fire-retardant finish.
At CreateFR we aim to make ordering fire retardant curtains as easy as possible. You don't need to work out fabric widths, quantities or gathers — we do all of that for you. All we ever need are two measurements: the width and the drop, both in millimetres (mm).
Before you start: use a metal tape measure rather than a fabric one, and note every measurement in millimetres.
Measuring the width
If you have an existing track
Measure the track from end to end and give us that figure in mm.
If you have an existing pole
Measure between the decorative ends (finials). Don't include the finials themselves.
No track or pole yet?
Measure the width of the window recess and add 300mm (150mm each side). This allows your new track or pole — and your curtains — to sit comfortably either side of the window.
Measuring the drop
Where should curtains finish?
Curtains look best finishing in one of three places:
- A — 10mm above the floor
- B — 10mm above the sill
- C — 150mm below the sill (or 20mm above any radiator)
Measure from the top of your track down to where you'd like your curtains to finish.
Floors and sills are rarely perfectly level, so measure the drop in two or three places along the window and use the smallest figure.
Measuring from a pole?
Measure from the eye of the curtain ring — that's where the curtain hangs from. For eyelet curtains, measure from the top of the pole.
No track or pole yet?
Measure from 100mm above the recess down to where you'd like your curtains to finish.
Not sure about anything?
If your window makes measuring tricky — a bay, a sloping ceiling, an awkward recess — send us a photo or get in touch and we'll talk you through it.
