Are your fabrics authentic?
Yes. All fabrics supplied by Fabric Superstore are 100% genuine and sourced from reputable, established mills and distributors.
We do not sell seconds or damaged stock. Each order is carefully prepared to ensure it reaches you in pristine condition.
How are your prices so competitive?
Our business model is intentionally lean and efficient. Without the overhead costs associated with a traditional brick-and-mortar retail store,
we are able to offer premium fabrics at highly competitive prices. The savings are passed directly to our clients — without sacrificing quality,
service, or reliability.
How long does delivery take?
Major centres: 1–3 working days Imported fabrics (including all Warwick Fabrics and selected Home Fabrics ranges): 10–15 working days
Delivery timelines may vary slightly depending on supplier availability and destination.
What is a running meter?
Fabric is sold by the running meter, which refers to one meter in length, while the width remains fixed according to the manufacturer.
For example:
• A fabric that is 140 cm wide — 1 running meter equals 1 meter long × 140 cm wide
• A fabric that is 280 cm wide — 1 running meter equals 1 meter long × 280 cm wide
Fabric is measured by length, not by square meter.
What is railroaded fabric?
Railroaded fabric is woven so that the pattern runs horizontally across the roll, rather than vertically.
This is particularly advantageous for:
• Upholstery projects such as sofas and headboards
• Wide seating areas where seams are undesirable
• Certain curtain applications where seamless width is required
Railroading allows for cleaner lines and more seamless installations.
What is double-width fabric?
Double-width (or wide-width) fabric typically measures 280 cm or wider.
It is ideal for:
• Floor-to-ceiling curtains without joins
• Larger upholstery applications
• Seamless installations requiring broader drops
Many wide-width fabrics are also railroaded, offering even greater design flexibility.
What services do you offer beyond fabric supply?
In addition to supplying fabric, we offer:
• Made-to-measure indoor and outdoor box cushions
• Scatter cushions (piped, Oxford border or plain finishes)
• Curtain make-up and lining
• Custom table linen
• Upholstery services including re-upholstery and slipcovers
