Decent curtain header tape at last
Decent curtain header tape at last! I have bought 2 pairs of heavy curtains from Dunelm and the header tape is very poor and the curtains are "sagging". Ladder type pockets!! I have now bought this header tape and will be remachining my curtains. Why do companies use substandard tape for heavy curtains?John Downs will be my go to company from now on. Excellent quality, good price, quick delivery and easy to use site. Especially as they will send you a sample of the product. Excellent.

Excellent company
I received a roll of 5 inch bucrum instead of 6 inch. One phone call to John Downs and the correct item was despatched by 1st class mail and delivered to me the next morning together with a return label for the wrong item and an apology. Mistakes happen... truly a first class service. Many thanks to Frances at John Downs
