Alendel Miami Fabric
2 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.
A sheer at 118 in, railroaded to run seamless, in 2 colourways
Miami is a sheer from Alendel, listed in 2 colourways, in 92% polyester and 8% cotton, at 118 in wide, railroaded. The colours run White and Winter White. All 2 flagged in stock by Alendel. It sits in Alendel's Big Sheer Book.
The width is the reason to look at it: railroaded, the 118 in becomes the drop, so a wall of glass up to about 9 ft 10 in high runs seamless from end to end, which is how we sew sheers across an ocean wall. Cotton takes a print with a soft matte face; like linen it wants a lining that carries the UV load, and on a west-facing window we line generously so the face does not fade. Care is WA (washable). It carries CAL 117, an upholstery flammability listing.
What Miami does at the window, and what it does not
Best use
Miami 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
92% polyester and 8% cotton; care WA (washable). Cotton and linen are lined here for the sun, and they move a little with the humidity, which is part of the look.
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.

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 Miami works here
Miami is a sheer we would put on the ocean side of a Sunny Isles or Fort Lauderdale living room, floor to ceiling on a ceiling-mounted track, with the fullness set for the cloth so the wave is even from end to end. The 118 in width means the whole wall in one piece. Layered over a solar roller the room keeps its view by day; behind it a blackout panel on a second track takes care of the night.
For the same use, compare Miami with Hades (sheer, 120 in railroaded, 8 colourways), Dallas 118" (sheer, 118 in railroaded, 5 colourways) and Monaco 118 Balance Of Colors (sheer, 118 in railroaded, 5 colourways); the table on each page lists the width, content, care code, fire listings and weight side by side.
Miami: frequently asked
How many colours does Alendel Miami come in?
2 colourways by Alendel's listing, all 2 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 Miami washable?
Alendel gives it care code WA (washable), so yes: it can be washed, and dry cleaned as well where the code allows it. The code is in the specification table below for every colourway.
Is Miami a fire-rated fabric?
Alendel lists it as passing CAL 117, which is an upholstery test rather than the drapery flame test. For a residence that is not an issue; for a commercial or condo common-area job that asks for NFPA 701 we would pick a listed cloth or arrange a treated lining and a certificate for the project.
What does Miami 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 Miami follows from a measure. Ask for a price with the button above and we come back with a figure, not a range.
