Shopping for curtains in JB Hello, I have been reading renotalk for sometime but this is the first time I registered as a member. I thought I would share my experience with making curtains across the causeway. Recently, I had googled some shops frequented by Singaporeans e.g. J and B curtains, Miki Curtains, Middle Curtains. Eventually, after visiting the actual shop, I decided to make curtains at one of the shop. Some tips. 1. Ensure that all the measurements are taken in metres. Some of them use inches to add to the confusion and u would need to convert to metres thereafter. 2. If it is double pleated, the total length should be multipled by a factor of two. 3. Ask if it includes the railing, workmanship and the curtain holder. They can say verbally but best to write down in your invoice. 4. If you provide them with the measurements, and subsequently get them to come down to your house, beware of "additional costs" which might not have been mentioned previously. 5. Check your measurements to see if they are correct. For example, the curtain for the length of one whole window could be 100 inches. This would be for 2 pieces. If it is half a piece, it would be 50 inches. Beware of any computational mistakes which add on to the overall cost of the curtains. 6. Check for any additional delivery, installtion cost etc. Good luck in shopping!
