Where to get heavy curtains for a 'passive' house

Hi, We've just finished building a 'passive' home (airtight, no central heating) and have very large windows on the south side. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for where to go to get info and heavily lined curtains for extra large windows that are a funny shape.:)

You'll have to get curtains made up if your window is off standard shape. Go to any fabric shop and they'll have names of curtain makers. If you're in Cork area I can pm a name to you.
You can use heavy interlining to give the curtains good insulating quality. Have had this done myself.
