Alendel Clement Fabric
5 colourways, sheer, 118 in wide, railroaded. Every swatch and every Alendel specification, from the workroom that sews it in Fort Lauderdale and installs it from Miami to Palm Beach.
Wide-width sheer in 5 colourways, 118 in for seamless walls of glass
Alendel lists Clement as a sheer in 5 colourways, in 87% polyester and 13% linen, at 118 in wide, railroaded. The card is Aluminum, Champagne, Sand, Candle White and Silver; Alendel files them under grey, beige and white. All 5 flagged in stock by Alendel. It sits in Alendel's Transparency Book.
At 118 in the cloth is turned sideways and the width becomes the height, so a window wall up to about 9 ft 10 in tall carries no seam at all; that is the wide-width advantage on floor-to-ceiling glass. Linen brings the slub and the matte hand, and it moves a little with the humidity, which is part of its character; it wants a lining that carries the UV load, and on a west window we line generously so the face does not fade. Alendel lists the weight at 0.81 lb per yard, medium-weight for a sheer. Care is WA-P (washable or dry clean); Alendel's own line reads: washable, dry clean. Alendel lists no fire test for it, so it is a residential cloth unless a treated lining or a certificate is arranged for the project. Every colourway is listed as Oeko-Tex. It comes with a weighted hem in the selvedge, which is why the wide sheers hang plumb without a chain weight from us.
What Clement does at the window, and what it does not
Best use
Clement is a sheer, so it goes where the point is daylight and the view: living rooms and dining rooms on the water, a wall of sliders, a bedroom by day with a blackout layer behind it for night. Railroaded at 118 in it runs seamless across a window wall on a ceiling track, ripplefold at 2.5 to 3 times fullness.
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
87% polyester and 13% linen; 0.81 lb per yard; care WA-P (washable or dry clean). Cotton and linen are lined here for the sun, and they move a little with the humidity, which is part of the look. 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 9 ft 10 in; a taller wall is seamed or turned back up the roll. No fire listing from Alendel, so a commercial or condo common-area job needs a certificate arranged for the project or another cloth.

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 Clement works here
Nothing suits a wall of South Florida glass like a sheer, and Clement goes where our sheers go: Brickell and Miami Beach condos, Fort Lauderdale waterfront homes, Boca Raton and Palm Beach island. Railroaded at 118 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 Clement with Hopkins (sheer, 118 in railroaded, 8 colourways), Cassandra (sheer, 117 in railroaded, 6 colourways) and Diaz (sheer, 110 in railroaded, 6 colourways); the table on each page lists the width, content, care code, fire listings and weight side by side.
Clement: frequently asked
How many colours does Alendel Clement come in?
5 colourways by Alendel's listing, all 5 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.
Is Clement washable?
Alendel gives it care code WA-P (washable or dry clean), so yes: it can be washed, and dry cleaned as well where the code allows it. Alendel's instruction reads: washable, dry clean. The code is in the specification table below for every colourway.
Can Clement run seamless across a whole wall of glass?
Yes. At 118 in it is railroaded: the cloth is turned sideways, the width becomes the drop, and a window wall up to about 9 ft 10 in high carries no seam. Taller than that it is seamed, or run up the roll with a seam at each width.
What does Clement 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 Clement follows from a measure. Ask for a price with the button above and we come back with a figure, not a range.
