  • WHAT DOES RAILROADED MEAN?

    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 length 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 drop.

  • WHY DOESN'T THE COLOUR ON THE WEBSITE EXACTLY MATCH THE COLOUR OF THE PRODUCT?

    We strive to make sure the colours shown both online and in our brochures are as close as possible to the finished product, however it is not always possible to get an exact colour match. Deviations in colour can sometimes occur during the photography process or due to variances in computer screen display settings. We advise customers to see the product in person or order a sample (where possible) in order to ensure satisfaction with the product.
