View rangePolyester Curtain and Drapery Fabric for Hotel and Retail Projects
Curtain fabric is judged by three things the bedding buyer never worries about: how it hangs, how much light it blocks, and how it behaves when a whole wall of panels has to match. We produce dense plain and twill constructions up to 280 cm for both retail drapery and hotel projects.
- Up to 280 cm
- Dense drape
- Panel-to-panel shade match

What to specify for curtain fabric
Weight drives drape, and drape is what a customer sees first. Below 100 gsm a polyester panel looks thin against daylight; between 120 and 180 gsm the fabric falls in clean vertical folds and holds a pleat. For hotel projects, specify the weight together with the finished panel height, because a heavier fabric needs a stronger heading tape and a more generous fullness ratio.
- Sheer and voile effect — 60–80 gsm, dense enough to soften light without blocking it.
- Retail drapery — 100–130 gsm, printed or dyed, with a soft handle.
- Hotel and project curtains — 140–180 gsm, denser construction, tighter shade tolerance.
- Blackout programmes — base fabric plus coating or a separate lining, arranged per project.
Width and panel layout
A 280 cm width lets a full-height hotel panel be cut with no horizontal join, which removes the most visible defect in a finished curtain. For retail, 150 cm fabric cut and joined is often more economical. We can supply either, and we will confirm the usable width before you finalise the panel layout.
Colour consistency across a whole wall
Curtains are seen side by side, so a slight shade difference between panels is far more visible than it would be on bedding. Panels for one project should come from a single dye lot; if the quantity needs more than one lot, we produce them consecutively and check the join under D65 light before packing.

Twill Polyester Fabric
A twill construction puts more yarn into the same surface area, which gives a denser, heavier fabric with a visible diagonal line.

Buyer questions
Curtain & Drapery Fabric: buyer questions
Can you supply blackout curtain fabric?
We supply the base fabric and can arrange coating or a separate blackout lining with our finishing partners depending on the project. Tell us the required light transmission at enquiry stage.
What weight is best for hotel curtains?
140–180 gsm in a dense construction is the usual specification: enough body to hold a pleat, enough weight to hang straight, and durable enough for commercial cleaning cycles.
Is the fabric flame retardant?
Standard polyester is not inherently flame retardant. FR treatment can be arranged through our finishing partners for contract projects — please state the standard you need to meet (for example EN 13773 or local building code) at enquiry stage.
Can curtains and bedding be matched in the same colour?
Yes, and it is a common request for hotel projects. We dye both from the same colour standard, though the different weights and constructions mean the lab dip must be approved on each base cloth.
