Workroom Essentials: The Must-Have Tools For Professional Curtain Makers

Why Every Professional Curtain Maker Needs the Right Tools

Creating high-quality curtains requires more than just premium fabrics. Professional curtain makers rely on a set of essential workroom tools to ensure each project is finished flawlessly, efficiently and with the attention to detail clients expect. At Evans, we provide a full range of workroom essentials, from buckrams and weights to zips and tapes, so you can achieve professional results every time.

1. Buckrams: The Backbone of Every Curtain

Buckrams are a must-have for creating structured, stable curtains. Available in single-sided, double-sided, fusible and non-woven options, they:

•    Provide support for pleats, headings and hems

•    Maintain the curtain’s shape and drape

•    Ensure durability, even in heavy or wide curtains

Whether you’re working on eyelet, pencil pleat or wave heading curtains, the right buckram is essential for a professional finish.

2. Curtain Weights: Perfect Drape Every Time

Weights are a small detail that makes a big difference. They help curtains hang evenly, maintain a smooth and elegant line, especially for:

•    Lightweight fabrics prone to curling or shifting

•    Blackout linings that require consistent tension

•    Roman blinds or other structured designs

Evans offers a variety of penny weights and chain options to suit all fabric types, ensuring a flawless and professional drape every time.

3. Zips and Fastenings: Precision and Functionality

High-quality zips and fastenings are essential for:

•    Seamlessly joining panels or curtains

•    Creating tailored and easy-to-use blinds and cushions

•    Achieving a clean and professional appearance

Our workroom zips are designed for durability, smooth operation, helping trade professionals save time and reduce rework.

4. Curtain Tapes: Essential for Pleats and Mitres

Double-sided workroom tapes and sewn-in tapes are game-changers for efficiency:

•    Hold fabrics in position for accurate pattern matching

•    Provide alternatives to gluing or hand-basting

•    Simplify hemming and mitred corners

Evans’ range of self-adhesive tapes and ready-to-use workroom tapes are trusted by professionals for their strong bond and reliability.
