Alendel Cyrus Fabric
1 colourway, jacquard, 54 in wide. Every swatch and every Alendel specification, from the workroom that sews it in Fort Lauderdale and installs it from Miami to Palm Beach.
1 colourway of a jacquard with an 18 by 14 in repeat, 54 in wide
Cyrus is one of the Alendel jacquards we make up here, with 1 colourway on the card, in 71% polyester and 29% cotton, at 54 in wide. The single colour is Pearl, filed by Alendel under white. None flagged in stock by Alendel at the time of reading, so every colour is a mill order. It sits in Alendel's Babylon Book.
At 54 in it is cut up the roll like a conventional drapery cloth: a panel joins widths at the seam, which sits inside a pleat, and a Roman shade takes one width up to roughly 50 inches finished before it needs a joined width. Alendel gives the repeat as vertical 18 in, horizontal 14 in; we match it across every seam and every window in the room, which adds yardage and is part of the quote. A cotton ground reads matte and takes colour well, and it is lined for the sun: the lining carries the UV and the face keeps its colour. Alendel lists the weight at 0.78 lb per yard, medium-weight for a jacquard. 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. Country of origin, as Alendel lists it: India.
What Cyrus does at the window, and what it does not
Best use
Cyrus works both ways from the same bolt: pinch pleat, Euro pleat or ripplefold panels in the main rooms and flat, relaxed or hobbled Roman shades on the secondary windows, so the kitchen, study and baths read as one scheme with the living room.
Light and privacy
Closed, Cyrus gives full privacy. What the room looks like closed comes from the lining we sew in: light-filtering for living areas, interlining for body and acoustics, blackout for bedrooms. The lining also carries the UV load off the face cloth.
Cloth and care
71% polyester and 29% cotton; 0.78 lb per yard; care WA-P (washable or dry clean); 6,000 rubs abrasion. 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
At 54 in a wide panel is made of joined widths; the seams sit inside the pleats, and the repeat is matched at every seam, which costs yardage. Not for a wet bathroom or a shower window. No fire listing from Alendel, so a commercial or condo common-area job needs a certificate arranged for the project or another cloth. 1 of the 1 colour is not flagged in stock, so that colour is a mill order with a longer lead time; we confirm stock before anything is cut.

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 Cyrus works here
On a Coral Gables or Boca Raton house Cyrus runs as pinch pleat or Euro pleat panels on decorative rods in the main rooms and as flat-fold Roman shades over the kitchen sink and in the powder room, matched bolt for bolt. Every panel and shade comes out of the same Fort Lauderdale workroom, and our own team installs from Miami to Palm Beach.
For the same use, compare Cyrus with Nouveau (jacquard, 54 in, 11 colourways), Parkside (jacquard, 55 in, 8 colourways) and Blake (jacquard, 55 in, 7 colourways); the table on each page lists the width, content, care code, fire listings and weight side by side.
Cyrus: frequently asked
How many colours does Alendel Cyrus come in?
1 colourway by Alendel's listing, none flagged in stock by Alendel at the time of reading, so every colour is a mill order. 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 Cyrus in stock?
None flagged in stock by alendel at the time of reading, so every colour is a mill order. The flag is Alendel's public stock filter on the day we read it; colours not flagged are ordered from the mill and take longer. We confirm stock and dye lot with Alendel before anything is cut.
Do you match the Cyrus repeat?
Always. Alendel lists the repeat at vertical 18 in, horizontal 14 in, and we match it across every seam and every window in the room, so the yardage is figured on the repeat rather than the finished size and is part of the quote.
What does Cyrus cost made up as Roman shades and draperies?
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 Cyrus follows from a measure. Ask for a price with the button above and we come back with a figure, not a range.
