Hotel Curtains & Window Treatments for the Hospitality Sector
We design, supply and install made-to-measure hotel curtains for hospitality properties across the UK and internationally. From guest rooms and suites to conference facilities, restaurants and hotel lobbies, every curtain is manufactured to exact specification and installed by our own professional team, from concept to completion.
Hotel Curtains
Hotel curtains are a specialist contract product. They need to perform reliably under daily commercial use, meet strict fire safety requirements, and maintain a consistent, high-quality appearance across dozens or hundreds of rooms. Off-the-shelf solutions cannot deliver this. Every project we undertake is designed, manufactured and installed as a bespoke, turnkey service, with a dedicated Project Manager on every job.
With over 30 years of experience in commercial interiors and more than 1,000 hotel, hospitality and specialist projects completed worldwide, we understand exactly what the hospitality sector demands.
Fire Safety and Compliance
Hotel and hospitality venues in the UK must comply with fire safety legislation. Curtain fabrics and linings used in commercial premises need to meet the relevant performance standards for the sector.
Every fabric we specify for hotel projects is selected to meet the required commercial performance and flame-retardant standards for the hospitality environment. Where compliance documentation is required for audits or inspections, this can be provided as part of the project process.
Fire safety is built into every specification from the outset. It is never an afterthought.
Acoustic and Thermal Performance
In a hospitality environment, curtains do far more than control light. The right specification can genuinely improve guest comfort and reduce operational costs.
- Acoustic performance: Dense, heavyweight fabrics and specialist linings help absorb external noise and reduce sound transmission between rooms and from busy streets. Urban properties, conference suites, and hotel restaurants benefit most from this.
- Thermal performance: Thermally lined curtains help regulate room temperature, retain warmth in winter, and reduce heat build-up in summer, lowering demand on HVAC systems and reducing energy costs.
- Light and glare control: Blackout and sheer options give guests full control over light levels, while layered treatments combine privacy with access to natural daylight.
Every Space in Your Property
Guest rooms and suites
Full blackout for total darkness, layered with sheers for daytime privacy and natural light. Every curtain is made to measure for the exact window configuration, including irregular shapes and non-standard drops.
Hotel lobbies and reception areas
First impressions matter. Curtains and drapes for hotel reception and lobby spaces are specified for impact as much as function. Fabric selection, heading style, and track system all contribute to the overall brand statement of the property.
Restaurants and dining rooms
Acoustic fabrics help create a comfortable dining atmosphere in busy hotel restaurants. Flame-retardant compliance is essential in food and beverage environments, and our fabric specifications reflect this without sacrificing the aesthetic quality of the space.
Conference rooms and private dining
Conference and meeting room curtains often need to integrate with AV and presentation systems. We supply and install motorised curtains with automated control for hotel conference facilities, managed by remote control, wall panel or smartphone app, with integration available for Lutron and Control4 building management systems.
Spa and wellness areas
Spa environments require a specific kind of quiet. We specify curtains and window treatments suited to the particular light, privacy, and atmosphere requirements of hotel spa and wellness spaces.
Corridors and communal areas
Continuity of specification across communal areas gives a consistent, well-finished result throughout the property.

Pinch pleat curtains
Pinch pleat, sometimes known as French pleat, is a classic choice for hotel bedrooms and suites. Available in double and triple pleat, the heading creates structured, tailored folds with an assured, established quality to them.

Wave curtains
Wave curtains, also known as ripplefold, deliver a clean, contemporary finish increasingly favoured in modern hotel design. Soft, continuous folds hang from a specially designed track, creating an architectural, understated look that works equally well in premium hotel rooms, suites, and public areas. The smooth glide mechanism also makes them a practical choice for motorised operation.
Key points:
Consistent folds and smooth, quiet operation
Suited to contemporary and boutique hotel properties
Compatible with motorised track systems

Wide fabric selection
Contemporary finish suited to boutique and lifestyle hotel properties

Performance and purpose
Performance & purpose
Blackout curtains
For hotel guest rooms, proper blackout performance means eliminating light ingress entirely - whatever the time of day or external conditions. A correctly specified blackout curtain, installed with the right track and return, gives guests full control over their sleep environment. Every curtain is made to measure, with durable, commercial-grade blackout fabrics available across a wide range of outer fabric choices.
Key points:
Complete light elimination
Durable, commercial-grade blackout fabrics
Available with a wide range of outer fabric choices
Made to measure for exact window dimensions
Can be layered with sheers for flexible light control throughout the day
Sheers
A sheer panel closest to the window provides daytime privacy while maintaining natural light. Paired with a blackout outer curtain, guests can move between full privacy, soft natural light, and complete darkness — giving rooms the polished, layered look of a well-appointed hotel.
Key points:
Available in a wide range of fabrics and finishes
Designed to layer with blackout outer curtains
Provides both privacy and natural light flexibility
Widely specified in premium and boutique hotel properties
Flame-retardant curtains
All fabrics supplied for hotel and hospitality environments are specified to meet relevant commercial flame-retardant standards. For UK hospitality premises, this is a legal requirement, and our fabric specifications are chosen accordingly across every heading style and lining choice.
Key points:
Fabrics specified to meet relevant commercial fire safety standards
Available across all heading styles: wave, pinch pleat, pencil pleat, eyelet
Compliance documentation available as part of the project process
Fire-retardant contract blinds
Where noise control is a priority — hotel restaurants, conference rooms, urban properties on busy streets, open-plan spaces — acoustic curtains make a meaningful difference. Dense, heavyweight fabrics and specialist linings absorb sound and reduce echo, improving both guest comfort and the acoustic quality of the space.
Key points:
Dense, heavyweight fabrics for effective sound absorption
Reduces external noise and minimises echo within the room
Available across all commercial heading styles
Suited to hotel restaurants, conference rooms, and urban properties
Thermal curtains
Across a full room count, thermally lined curtains can have a measurable effect on heating and cooling costs. By retaining warmth in winter and reducing solar heat gain in summer, they ease the demand on HVAC systems — a practical, compounding benefit for larger properties.
Key points:
Thermally lined construction for improved insulation
Retains warmth in winter, reduces heat build-up in summer
Supports energy efficiency across the property
Available in combination with blackout or acoustic linings

FAQs
What type of curtains are used in hotels?
Hotel curtains are contract-grade, made-to-measure products — different in specification and construction from anything available through residential retail. They are typically manufactured with blackout linings, flame-retardant fabrics, and commercial-grade headings, then fitted on professional track or pole systems. Premium hotel rooms frequently use a layered approach, combining sheers with a heavier outer blackout curtain.
