Ready panels or by the metre
Ready panels save time but come in set sizes, and by-the-metre fabric gives a custom fit and is usually better for large or odd windows. Compare cost per metre and finished quality.
Quality and colourfastness
Check weave density, pile direction on velvet, dye consistency and handle. Ask about colourfastness to sun and washing, since poor dyes fade or bleed. Look at the back of the fabric for faults.
Matching and alterations
Buy all fabric from the same roll or batch to avoid shade differences, and ask the tailor to plan pattern matching. Keep offcuts for repairs.
Customs, returns and safe buying
Imported fabric prices change with exchange rates and stock. Confirm return terms, keep invoices and be careful with prices far below the market. Finishes.pk is not a dealer.
Care
Dry-clean velvets and jacquards, vacuum gently and line the curtains. Fitting should be done by a trained fixer, and the window frame, wall and fixing points checked for strength first.
Before you decide
Verify origin and colourfastness, buy all fabric together and plan pattern matching. Ask the seller for a fabric or product sample, confirm the width, material and colour fastness in writing and agree a return policy before paying. Visit the shop in person, hold the sample against the actual window and ask how long delivery and fitting will take before you pay a deposit. Measure the window or opening twice, order a small sample or a single panel first if the job is large, compare at least two quotes on the same specification of fabric, hardware and fitting, and keep the invoice and warranty card. Confirm delivery and fitting dates in writing, check the finished work in daylight and at night, and ask the supplier what happens if the colour or size differs from the sample. Prices change with fabric costs and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide.
