Very firm buckram giving a professional finish.
My order arrived quickly and was very well packaged to protect the buckram edging.
I required a continuous 5.5m length of buckram for a pelmet, I was concerned that such a long length would not give a tailored look and remain straight.
I was very pleased with this product, it remained very firm despite lots of handling, it was easy to cut into the depth I wanted, the main fabric adhered to the buckram well when ironed which made the construction of such a long pelmet easier.
The finished product looks fantastic!

Brilliant
The service is absolutely excellent. I ordered a sample first off and when it arrived and was what I needed I ordered 3 metres. Delivery was swift and well packaged. Brilliant.

The packge arrived Tuesday- you asked Prcelforce for Monday, so their fault not yours. I have not yet opened it to check the material.

I can’t fault this Company
I can’t fault this Company. My order was delivered quickly and my query regarding the colour of the tape was answered with an email saying another batch would be in the post just in case they had made a mistake. A big ✔️ for customer service. I will be using this Company again and will be recommending it to others.
