Window Treatment – 4 Heavyweight Fabrics
These fabrics are highly utilized in most slipcover and window treatment projects. Heavyweight fabrics for window treatments and slipcovers offer:
- Excellent blocking of light when you want to darken your room
- A good manner of maintaining heat during cold seasons
- Strong and durable quality
Here are few well-known heavyweight fabrics:
Canvas
Canvas is a versatile fabric ranging from medium to heavyweight which is available in various prints and colors. Occasionally, they are made with brushed finishes. Kids’ playroom, bedroom and dens can utilize window treatments made from canvas denim and sailcloth. To add some flair of masculinity to any room, you can go with darker versions of these fabrics. The prices range from inexpensive to slightly expensive.
Duck
Duck is a bit similar to canvas and it comes in variety of colors and weights. Like canvas, it comes in stripes, patterns and solids. If you are planning to create curtains that don’t require needlework, this fabric is ideal for you. It is a good option to faux-suede fabrics, and can add a modern look to your room, plus it is not expensive.
Novelty fabrics
Faux-fur, faux-suede and vinyl and other fabric alternatives are ideal for creating bubbly and fun treatments. To create a fluffy texture like that of animals, faux-fur comes woven or knitted in acrylic. Faux-furs and vinyl are tough to sew since they are thicker compared to common fabrics. These novelty fabrics are mostly love by teens and kids.
Velvet
Velvet is a fabric composed of natural fibers which has gentle feel but sturdy quality. It has an upholstery version which is tougher and thicker than standard velvet fabrics. If you aim to make your window treatment look formal or moderately formal, velvet fabrics will definitely suit your taste. It provides a lustrous environment ideal for making a Victorian theme. Velvet comes in numerous weights depending on the light blockage and coverage you need. A great option for your window treatment is nylon velvet because of its durability and fine texture. The prices range from slightly expensive to expensive.
Heavyweight fabric can be a good choice for window treatment at home. But you know what’s better? The answer is matchstick shades. Visit http://www.matchstickshades.org/ to find out more.
