Cotton Velvet Curtain Fabric

100% cotton velvet specifications include 320-380 GSM weight options providing substantial drape and excellent sound dampening characteristics. Woven from high-quality cotton yarns, this fabric offers exceptional softness and drape. Standard widths of 140cm, 150cm, and 280cm accommodate efficient curtain production while minimizing fabric waste during manufacturing processes.

Our dyeing capabilities support custom color matching in bulk orders, with minimum quantities of 1,000 meters per custom color ensuring cost-effective production runs. The cotton velvet fabric maintains excellent dimensional stability, with shrinkage rates below 2% after proper pre-treatment processes.

Fire retardant treatments available for hospitality and commercial applications meet international safety standards including BS 5867 Part 2 Type B and NFPA 701. These treatments penetrate the cotton fibers without compromising the soft fabric texture or luxurious feel characteristic of premium cotton velvet.

The natural cotton composition provides superior breathability and moisture absorption compared to synthetic alternatives, making it suitable for climates with high humidity. Cotton velvet fabric also provides a cozy feel, ideal for creating inviting interiors, and accepts dye more readily than synthetic fibers, resulting in vibrant colors and rich depth that enhance interior aesthetics.

Cotton velvet fabric is also easy to handle for sewing, making it a preferred choice for curtain manufacturers.

Synthetic Blend Velvet Materials

Polyester-cotton blends in 60/40 and 70/30 ratios offer enhanced durability while maintaining the soft texture and elegant appearance of natural velvet. These blends provide cost efficiency for large-scale curtain manufacturing while delivering performance specifications required for commercial applications.

Polyester-rayon combinations provide luxurious drape characteristics similar to silk velvet at significantly reduced cost, making them ideal for hospitality projects requiring premium appearance within budget constraints. The rayon component contributes to the fabric’s silk-like sheen and smooth texture.

Performance specifications include fade resistance ratings of 4-5 on the ISO scale, ensuring long-term color stability in applications with moderate sunlight exposure. Washability ratings support commercial laundering processes, with tested performance through 50 wash cycles without significant pile loss or color degradation.

Bulk production advantages include consistent quality across large orders, with variations in pile height and density maintained within 2% tolerance levels. Reduced manufacturing costs result from the synthetic fibers’ compatibility with high-speed weaving processes and consistent dyeing characteristics.

Specialty Velvet Curtain Fabrics

Cut velvet with raised patterns creates premium visual and tactile interest suitable for hotel and theater applications requiring distinctive aesthetic appeal. These patterns are achieved through selective pile cutting during the finishing process, creating contrasting textures that enhance light reflection and depth perception. Cut velvet is also ideal for custom headboards and statement furniture pieces, adding a luxurious look to any interior design project.

Burnout velvet designs incorporate semi-transparent areas created through controlled fiber removal, producing decorative effects ideal for specialized curtain manufacturing applications. These designs require careful handling during production but offer unique aesthetic possibilities for lavish, high-end interior projects.

Metallic and lurex velvet options feature integrated metallic threads providing subtle shimmer effects for entertainment and event industry applications. These specialty velvet fabrics maintain durability while adding visual interest under stage lighting or architectural illumination.

Mohair-look synthetic alternatives meet luxury specifications while providing cost advantages and improved durability compared to natural mohair velvet. These synthetic alternatives maintain the characteristic long pile and lustrous appearance of mohair while offering superior resistance to crushing and matting. They are also suitable for upholstering sofas, providing both durability and a luxurious look.

Mohair Velvet Characteristics

Mohair velvet is a premium velvet fabric woven from mohair yarns, prized for their silk-like sheen and exceptional durability. This luxurious fabric is celebrated for its rich colors and the way it beautifully reflects light, creating an opulent, luminous effect in any setting. Mohair velvet’s plush texture and softness make it a top choice for high-end upholstery, drapery, and decorative pillows, where both comfort and elegance are paramount. Its natural resilience ensures that mohair velvet maintains its shape and texture over time, resisting wrinkles and wear even in demanding environments. The combination of lasting durability, sumptuous feel, and striking appearance makes mohair velvet a preferred option for furniture and decorative accents in luxury interiors.

Cut Velvet Features

Cut velvet is distinguished by its unique surface, where the pile is selectively cut to create intricate patterns and designs that add depth and visual intrigue. This type of velvet fabric is renowned for its luxurious texture, vibrant colors, and the elegant interplay of light across its patterned surface. Cut velvet brings a sense of sophistication and artistry to upholstery, drapery, and other decorative applications, making it a standout choice for interiors that demand both durability and style. Its ability to combine rich patterns with a plush, soft feel ensures that cut velvet not only enhances the visual appeal of a space but also delivers lasting performance and elegance.

Solid Color Velvet

Solid color velvet offers timeless elegance and versatility, featuring a single, uniform hue that brings a refined, luxurious touch to any room. This velvet fabric is celebrated for its soft texture, durability, and ability to seamlessly complement a wide range of design aesthetics, from contemporary to classic. Available in an extensive spectrum of colors—from deep, rich tones to gentle pastels—solid color velvet is ideal for upholstery, drapery, furniture, and decorative pillows. Its simplicity allows it to serve as a sophisticated backdrop or a bold statement piece, while its robust construction ensures it remains a lasting and stylish choice for both residential and commercial interiors.

Custom color matching accommodates branding requirements and design specifications unique to each venue. Our color development laboratory can match existing colors or create custom shades with minimum order quantities of 500 meters for specialty colors.

Sound dampening characteristics provide acoustic benefits in performance venues, with noise reduction coefficients (NRC) ranging from 0.35-0.55 depending on fabric weight and mounting methods. These acoustic properties complement the visual appeal while contributing to overall venue performance.

Residential and Commercial Interior Design

Mid-weight velvet options in the 300-380 GSM range balance luxury appearance with practical performance for residential curtain manufacturing. These weights provide sufficient body for elegant draping while remaining manageable for standard curtain hardware systems.

UV-resistant treatments protect against fading in window applications within commercial buildings and residential settings with significant sunlight exposure. Testing demonstrates color retention exceeding 500 hours under accelerated UV exposure equivalent to 5+ years of typical use.

Thermal insulation properties contribute to energy-efficient curtain systems, with R-values ranging from 1.2-2.8 depending on fabric weight and construction details. These insulation characteristics support green building initiatives while providing comfort benefits.
