Curtain Fabrics

Q: What curtain materials don’t fade?

Lighter coloured fabrics, in general, fare better in sun-drenched rooms and aren’t as prone to fading as richly coloured fabrics. In terms of materials, cotton and polyester blends are less likely to fade and are easier to take care of compared to silk or linen curtains.

Q: Is thermal curtain lining effective?

Thermal lined curtains effectively improve the insulation and energy-efficiency of your home in both summer and winter. In summer, a thermal curtain lining keeps the hot air out by reflecting it outside, while in winter, it stops draughts and keeps heat inside the room.

Q: What thermal fabric is the best choice for curtains?

Thermal curtains are made from several layers of different fabrics. The outer decorative layer can be made from almost any material to match the aesthetic of any room, while the inner layers are made of thermal-resistant brushed cotton flannel or sprayed foam. The backing is often made from cotton or vinyl.

Curtains are an essential addition to every home. Not only do they protect your privacy and keep unwanted light out but they are a way to add personality to your interior styling. They can make an otherwise neutral room ‘pop’ giving it depth and dynamism. A variety of curtain fabric types are available, including cotton, silk, linen, velvet, and others, allowing you to match your preferences and add a distinctive touch to your interior decor. ArchiPro features high quality curtain fabrics from leading textile specialists in Australia with a vast range of designs and prints.

Types of curtain fabrics

Cotton

Cotton fabric is made from natural fibre and is extremely versatile. It’s a good choice for curtains because it drapes nicely, is washable, affordable, and comes in a vast range of different colours and patterns.

Linen

Linen is a lightweight, natural fibre fabric which drapes beautifully when used for curtains and gives rooms an effortless and organic look. A popular choice in Australia.

Velvet

If you are looking to add luxury to your home, velvet is an excellent choice for curtains. It is a beautiful fabric that is durable and heavy, which means it is perfect for adding extra privacy and blocking out unwanted light and sound.m

Brocade

Brocade is a richly patterned fabric where the patterns are woven rather than embroidered. It is a mid to heavyweight decorative fabric, that’s available in a variety of colours and will give any room a touch of opulence.

Advantages of high quality curtain fabrics

In Australia, curtains have the ability to transform a room and can be a cost-friendly solution when you want to update your decor. Choosing high-quality curtain fabrics for your home brings many advantages. Over time, poor quality sheer curtain fabric and lined curtains become sun-bleached, take on a yellow tinge, and fade, while mediocre blackout material may be inadequate at blocking out enough light and heat. For sheer curtains and other curtains, premium fabrics are made with these factors in mind and designed to last.

How to choose a curtain fabric that’s right for you

When choosing what kind of curtain fabric you need for your home, it’s important to consider what function you’d like the curtain to have. For example, If you prefer to sleep in a totally dark room, blackout curtains are an excellent choice, whereas fabrics with strong thermal characteristics are a good option if you live in a cold climate. You should also consider how the fabric will fit into your space—if a room is on the smaller side, then light, sheer fabrics that filter through sunlight are a good choice.

What fabric is suitable for making curtains?

The type of fabric you choose to make curtains with should be determined by their purpose. For example, sheer curtains should be made with lightweight fabrics such as voile, silk, muslin, nylon net or cotton. If you’re looking to make thicker curtains that block more external light, then heavier fabrics such as velvet or brocade are appropriate.
