Custom Curtains for Sernabatim Homes

A flat in Sernabatim may be full of visitors one month and locked the next, and curtains have to come through both. Shut-up rooms a short walk from the sea grow musty, so cotton and other natural fabrics are a poor bet; washable polyester in a neutral mid-tone suits guests and owner alike and does not hold mildew. Pinch-pleat or eyelet headings rehang easily after a wash. Use aluminium tracks and nylon runners. Before a flat is closed, draw the curtains back off the glass and tie them loosely so air reaches both faces. The villas here have wider doors, where ripple-fold curtains, on a motorised ceiling track if wanted, draw cleanly.

• Holiday flats in the low-rise complexes: neutral polyester curtains with detachable blackout lining, washed between lets.
• Flats left closed for months: curtains tied back away from windows and walls, so damp does not settle in the folds.
• Villas near the fields: ripple-fold sheers and blackout on ceiling tracks across the widest doors, with aluminium fittings throughout.
