Creating a beautiful home shouldn’t come at the expense of your health—or the planet’s. That’s why more homeowners in London are turning to PFAS free curtains as part of their interior design choices. Our latest project in London brought together elegant design, advanced curtain hardware, and eco-conscious materials to create a smart, stylish, and sustainable window treatment.
The brief was clear: blackout curtains that provide total darkness, sheer curtains for soft daylight, a clean and modern track installation, and, most importantly, fabrics that are free from harmful chemicals. We were thrilled to deliver exactly what the client envisioned—without compromising on performance or design.

For the main curtains, we installed a Silent Gliss motorised curtain track, recessed inside a ceiling pocket across a large bay window. This kind of installation creates a seamless, clutter-free look—when the curtains are open, the track disappears entirely into the ceiling. With a remote or wall switch, the curtains open and close smoothly, adding both convenience and a sense of luxury to the space.
Motorised curtains are ideal for hard-to-reach windows, bedrooms, and modern smart homes. Not only do they enhance comfort, but they also reduce wear and tear compared to manual use.
Hand-Operated Tracks for Sheer Curtains Inside the Bay Window
To soften daylight and maintain privacy during the day, we also installed hand-operated curtain tracks for sheer curtains inside the bay window. These sheers add a gentle layer of texture while letting in natural light. Positioned behind the blackout layer, they offer the best of both worlds: soft light during the day and complete darkness at night.
Full-Length Blackout Curtains for Total Darkness
Our custom blackout curtains were made to touch the floor precisely, eliminating any light leakage that might occur through gaps. This is especially important in bedrooms or media rooms where full darkness is essential. Beyond their light-blocking benefits, blackout curtains also contribute to better thermal insulation—helping to keep the space warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
As always, we take the time to get every detail right—from hem length to header style—so your curtains don’t just perform well, they look impeccable too.
PFAS Free Curtains: Why They Matter
Perhaps the most important aspect of this project was the choice of fabric. Our client specifically requested PFAS free curtains—a choice we fully support and encourage. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are often used in textiles for their water and stain resistance. However, these chemicals are now linked to a growing list of health and environmental concerns, from hormonal disruption to groundwater pollution.
At our company, we’re proud to work with fabric suppliers who offer PFAS free fabrics and linings, prioritising safe and sustainable materials without compromising on quality or design.
We believe that beautiful interiors can and should support well-being, and it’s heartening to see more clients in London seeking healthier choices for their homes.
A Growing Awareness for Healthier Homes
We’re genuinely pleased to see a growing awareness around chemical-free home textiles. It’s part of a larger movement toward more conscious design—where materials are chosen not just for their appearance, but also for how they affect indoor air quality and long-term health.
For this client, choosing PFAS free curtains in London was about creating a safe, calm, and comfortable sanctuary. And we’re proud to have been part of that vision.
3 Benefits of PFAS Free Curtains
✅ 1. Healthier Indoor Air Quality
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are linked to serious health risks and are often found in stain-resistant or water-repellent textiles. Choosing PFAS free curtains helps reduce exposure to these chemicals, especially important in bedrooms, nurseries, and homes with pets or allergies.
✅ 2. Environmentally Responsible Choice
PFAS are known as “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down easily in the environment. By selecting PFAS free fabrics and linings, you’re supporting a more sustainable supply chain and helping reduce long-term environmental impact.
✅ 3. No Compromise on Style or Performance
Today’s PFAS free fabrics still offer high-quality texture, durability, and beautiful drape, without relying on harmful treatments. You can achieve a luxurious, functional curtain setup—like blackout and sheer layers—without sacrificing health or aesthetics.
