How to Pick Your Curtain Maker or Seller
Browsing online for quality curtain makers but not sure who to engage with? Here’s how to survey and decide on a good curtain maker.
Selecting the right curtain maker to make quality curtains for your home is as simple as doing a background check. By getting to know more about a vendor based on their past projects, customer reviews, and range of services, you can pinpoint how experienced they are in delivering top-quality custom curtains for your homes or offices.
5 things to consider when engaging with curtain makers and tailors for your made-to-measure curtains.
1. Engage with experienced curtain consultants that know the in’s and out’s of curtains.
Saw some advertisements for 3 metres 100% blackout curtains for only RM700? It’s not wrong to go looking for a good deal, but make sure your salesperson is able to give you a thorough explanation of the type of fabric material to expect. Not all fabric types are able to block out the light as well as good-quality blackout curtains. If you’re unlucky, you might find out that your curtains only really dim out the room- still allowing light to seep in from the outside. By then, it would be too late for you to change the fabric or get it fixed!
This netizen felt like the salesperson of company A was not entirely transparent in presenting curtains to them. Instead of the 100% blackout curtain they were promised, the netizen noticed they were just regular dimout curtains! When confronted about the issue, the salesperson backtracked on their promise of selling 100% blackout curtains and stopped responding entirely. However, to make mistakes is to be human, it is likely that the salesperson was new to the job and might have made a mistake during the consultation or fabric sourcing stage of the project. Therefore, make sure the person you are talking to is able to answer all your questions during the consultation stage.

So, instead of hopping onto the first sale you see, do your homework as a customer and look through a few curtain makers at a time. By listing out what every curtain maker offers, you get to estimate the appropriate price, quality, and services to expect for your new curtains.
2. Have a look at your curtain maker’s portfolio for a wide variety of clients.
Ideally, we advise any curtain buyer to get curtains that are made to last, and not just for show. You can find out the quality of a curtain maker’s workmanship simply by browsing through their past projects. Curtain makers who have served clients from commercial, residential or hospitality sectors are more likely to give you quality work. This means their services are trusted by world-class hotels and everyday homeowners alike.
It’s best to get your curtains from trusted vendors with a history of commercial and residential projects. View more of our curtains at our past projects page.
3. Look out for what people are saying about a curtain company’s service.
It’s always good to have a look at the reviews available to know what real customers have to say about their customer experience. Through this practice, you find out what you should expect when going into consultation, ranging from product quality to installation and aftersales service.
In the past, the curtain tailoring business relied more on word-of-mouth recommendations. But as of this digital era, you can still browse through reviews from a wider range of customers and make a fair judgement for yourself based on what you find.
The most effective way in figuring out the quality of the service of a curtain maker is to hear what their customers have to say.
