Why DB1 Is Still The Market-Leading Curtain Lining (and Always Will Be)

Wednesday, 28 January 2026

When it comes to curtain linings, DB1 remains the industry benchmark — trusted by professionals, loved by customers and chosen time and again for its exceptional quality, durability and performance. At Evans, we’re proud to say that DB1 isn’t just our best-selling lining — it’s the lining that sets the standard for the entire industry.


What Makes DB1 the Market Leader?

Superior Fabric Construction

DB1 is crafted using a premium polycotton satin weave, designed to deliver a smooth drape and luxurious finish. Its tightly woven structure ensures long-lasting durability, providing both form and function that professionals rely on.

    Cotton rich

    Weight: 200gsm

    Width: 56in

    Finish: Soft handle with minimal creasing for easy sewing and handling

This composition makes DB1 not only strong and reliable but also highly versatile — perfect for both residential and contract applications.

Perfect Drapability

One of the standout features of DB1 is its incredible drape quality. Whether used behind a delicate sheer or a heavy decorative fabric, DB1 ensures curtains hang beautifully every time.

It enhances the curtain’s structure while maintaining a soft, flowing appearance — giving designers and curtain makers that professional finish clients love


Tested and Trusted by Professionals

Every roll of DB1 is quality-assured in-house at our Manchester headquarters. We don’t compromise on quality — each batch undergoes strict testing for colour consistency, durability and shrinkage to ensure total reliability.

We also offer free samples so you can see and feel the quality before you order — because we know that once you experience DB1, you’ll understand why it’s the market leader.
