Curtain Fabric
A hanging textile whose appearance depends on weight, opacity, drape, and pleat memory. Backlight, folds, hem thickness, and fabric stiffness matter more than a flat swatch.

Choosing points
- Best for window areas where fabric controls light, softness, and the room silhouette.
- Pleat depth and hanging weight define the silhouette more than the texture alone.
- Sun-facing edges fade first.
- Blackout fabric can look thicker and less translucent at folds.
How it ages
- UV, dust, humidity, washing, and flame-retardant treatment affect color, drape, and stiffness over time.
What to avoid
- Do not use curtain fabric directly as upholstery. Seating needs separate abrasion, fire-safety, and stretch performance.
