Alendel Mix Fabric
6 colourways, jacquard, 54 in wide, 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.
A jacquard on 100% polyester with a 1.375 by 4.5 in repeat, in 6 colourways
Mix is one of the Alendel jacquards we make up here, with 6 colourways on the card, in 100% polyester, at 54 in wide. The colours run Beach, Candlelight, Barrel, Raffia, Terrain and Storm, across the beige, brown and grey families. All 6 flagged in stock by Alendel. It sits in Alendel's Gala Book.
The 54 in width runs up the roll, so panels are made of joined widths with the seams hidden in the pleats, and a Roman shade under about 50 inches finished is cut from a single width. Alendel gives the repeat as vertical 1.375 in, horizontal 4.5 in; we match it across every seam and every window in the room, which adds yardage and is part of the quote. Being polyester it holds a pleat, keeps its size through humidity and a wash or a dry clean, and takes the sun better than a natural fibre, which matters on unshaded glass here. It weighs 0.69 lb per yard by Alendel's listing, which is on the light side. Care is WA-P (washable or dry clean). It passes NFPA 701, the flame test a condo association, hotel or office asks for on drapery; it also carries CAL 117, an upholstery flammability listing; and FMVSS 302, the automotive interior test. Every colourway is listed as Oeko-Tex. Country of origin, as Alendel lists it: India.
What Mix does at the window, and what it does not
Best use
Mix 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
An opaque cloth, so privacy is complete when it is closed. The light is decided by the lining: light-filtering keeps a living room glowing, thermal or bump interlining adds body and quiet, blackout turns a bedroom dark. Mix is lined in every case; on west glass we line generously so the face does not fade.
Cloth and care
100% polyester; 0.69 lb per yard; care WA-P (washable or dry clean); 25,000 rubs abrasion. 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
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.

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 Mix works here
On a Coral Gables or Boca Raton house Mix 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 Mix with Soiree (jacquard, 54 in, 7 colourways), Affair (jacquard, 55 in, 6 colourways) and Mingle (jacquard, 54 in, 6 colourways); the table on each page lists the width, content, care code, fire listings and weight side by side.
Mix: frequently asked
How many colours does Alendel Mix come in?
6 colourways by Alendel's listing, all 6 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.
Do you match the Mix repeat?
Always. Alendel lists the repeat at vertical 1.375 in, horizontal 4.5 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.
Does Mix pass NFPA 701?
Yes by Alendel's listing: Mix passes NFPA 701, CAL 117 and FMVSS 302. 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 Mix 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 Mix follows from a measure. Ask for a price with the button above and we come back with a figure, not a range.
