What’s the best fabric for Drapery
Drapery Cleaning in Lynwood — I was at a client’s house and she’d called in a drapery workroom to do her window treatments. They had been set up a week ahead. I noticed immediately the bottom of the drapery panels were”being trained”. This usually means that the seamstress had gathered all of the pleats at the base of each panel, and loosely tied them that they would stay in place. This is a process that usually occurs in the workroom
About a week later I moved back to the customer’s home, and the draperies were no longer there. She mentioned to me that her seamstress had come straight out, down them and she was going to be changing the header to another style. The header is the pleating detail on peak of the panels. They had the exact same issue that they were diligent in trying to resolve although on another trip to the client’s home the draperies were rehung. The pleats in the bottom of the panels not hung straight. They flared out on either side in the base of every panel.
I was frank with her, since my customer asked my opinion on what I thought about her draperies. I told her that they had picked the type of fabric. A polyester cloth had been picked by them and regardless of what they did with this specific fabric, it’d never hang directly. Additionally, she’d chosen to go with a panels on a two story window to save money, which looked very strange in the distance
The workroom she coped with sadly did a bad job of directing her into making the proper choice, and they essentially just wanted to market the job, so the client something that was perhaps within her budget range rather than offering expert guidance was gave by them. There are a whole lot of elements to take into consideration when it comes to picking fabrics, and also the beauty of the fabric is not the element.
There are different software obviously – if you are installing draperies at a formal living room, you may want something very structured, or something a bit more free flowing and gauzy, within a sitting room. It takes an expert eye and knowledge of fabric properties to assist you make the choice that is right . I’m a believer, and most of my customers love this, that if an item might push you it’s very good to explore it. I know personally I would rather know of my options so I can make an educated choice.
The bottom line is that the cloth type is very important to the way the drapery will look, not to mention fabric choice affects the price. Fabric is the piece of the price breakdown for custom draperies. There is also the style chosen, installation, labor and hardware.
The workroom should have directed the customer to possibly a polyester/cotton blend or a polyester/linen blend. The content of linen and the cotton will help the manmade polyester fibers hang
A quality drapery fabric generally begins at around $50 per yard retail and may go up from there.
