Alendel Berlin Fabric
18 colourways, sheer, 130 in wide, railroaded, NFPA 701. Every swatch and every Alendel specification, from the workroom that sews it in Fort Lauderdale and installs it from Miami to Palm Beach.
18 colourways of sheer from Classic to Mushroom, 130 in wide and railroaded
Berlin is one of the Alendel sheers we make up here, with 18 colourways on the card, in 100% polyester, at 130 in wide, railroaded. The colours run Classic, Marzipan, Mushroom, Clay, Chrome, Limestone, Natural, Muslin and 10 more, across the beige, brown, grey, blue, red and pink families. All 18 flagged in stock by Alendel. It sits in Alendel's Nonstop Book and One-Thirty Book.
The width is the reason to look at it: railroaded, the 130 in becomes the drop, so a wall of glass up to about 10 ft 10 in high runs seamless from end to end, which is how we sew sheers across an ocean wall. Polyester holds its pleat and its size in humid air and after cleaning, and stands up to Florida sun better than cotton or linen does. It weighs 1.15 lb per yard by Alendel's listing, and a cloth of that weight is hung on a track or rod sized for it. Care is WA (washable). It passes NFPA 701 and CAN/ULC S109, the drapery flame tests asked for on commercial and condo common-area work in the US and Canada. Every colourway is listed as Oeko-Tex. Country of origin, as Alendel lists it: Turkey.
What Berlin does at the window, and what it does not
Best use
Sheers are our most requested drapery and Berlin is used as one: floor to ceiling on a ceiling-mounted track, ripplefold or pinch pleat, set at 2.5 to 3 times fullness so the wave is even from end to end. The wide width means a whole wall in one piece.
Light and privacy
By day it softens the light and frames the view. After dark, with the room lit, the room is visible from outside: sheers are layered with a blackout or lined panel where privacy matters, or with a solar roller behind for glare by day.
Cloth and care
100% polyester; 1.15 lb per yard; care WA (washable). Polyester keeps its size and its pleat in humid air and after cleaning, and holds its colour in the sun better than a natural fibre. Listed as Oeko-Tex.
Limitations
No privacy at night with the lights on, and no blackout; it is layered where either is needed. Railroaded wide-width goods are not cut into Roman shades; for a matching Roman we pick a 54 inch cloth from the same book. The seamless drop tops out at about 10 ft 10 in; a taller wall is seamed or turned back up the roll.

Width, content, repeat, care code, fire listings and weight per yard are Alendel's own listing for each colourway, captured from its trade catalogue; the stock flag is Alendel's public availability filter on the day we read it and is confirmed against the order before anything is cut. We bring the Alendel books to the consultation.
Where Berlin works here
Nothing suits a wall of South Florida glass like a sheer, and Berlin goes where our sheers go: Brickell and Miami Beach condos, Fort Lauderdale waterfront homes, Boca Raton and Palm Beach island. Railroaded at 130 in it runs seamless on a recessed Somfy or Lutron track across an ocean wall, the fullness trimmed so the stack clears the glass, over a solar roller for the glare by day. Every panel is cut and sewn by our five in-house seamstresses in Fort Lauderdale.
For the same use, compare Berlin with Base (sheer, 118 in railroaded, 27 colourways), Pillar (sheer, 121 in railroaded, 22 colourways) and Dallas 130" (sheer, 130 in railroaded, 10 colourways); the table on each page lists the width, content, care code, fire listings and weight side by side.
Berlin: frequently asked
How many colours does Alendel Berlin come in?
18 colourways by Alendel's listing, all 18 flagged in stock by Alendel. Every one is on this page with its swatch, colour code and FB item number, and we bring the shortlist to the consultation so the colour is judged in your own light.
Does Berlin give privacy at night?
No sheer does once the lights are on inside. By day it filters the light and keeps the view; at night we layer a lined or blackout panel on a second track behind it, or pair it with a solar or blackout roller.
Does Berlin pass NFPA 701?
Yes by Alendel's listing: Berlin passes NFPA 701 and CAN/ULC S109. NFPA 701 is the flame test a condo association, a hotel or an office asks for on drapery; where a project needs the certificate we request it from Alendel before the cloth is ordered.
What does Berlin cost made up as sheers?
It is quoted from the yardage: the width and height of the window, the fullness, the repeat if there is one, the lining and the track or rod. The pricing page has real numbers for sheers, motorized tracks and blackout draperies, and a quote for Berlin follows from a measure. Ask for a price with the button above and we come back with a figure, not a range.
