Alendel Pluto Fabric
3 colourways, sheer. 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 with no width listed by Alendel in 3 colourways
Pluto is one of the Alendel sheers we make up here, with 3 colourways on the card. The colours run Pewter, Ice and Ivory, across the grey and white families. All 3 flagged in stock by Alendel. It sits in Alendel's Big Sheer Book 2.0.
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.
What Pluto does at the window, and what it does not
Best use
Pluto 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. Alendel lists no width for it, so we confirm the roll width before deciding whether it runs seamless or is seamed.
Light and privacy
A sheer filters hard sunlight into an even glow and keeps the view; it takes the glare off a white sofa without hiding the water. It gives no privacy at night with the lights on, so a bedroom takes a lined or blackout panel on a second track behind it, and it is not a blackout.
Cloth and care
Listed as Oeko-Tex.
Limitations
No privacy at night with the lights on, and no blackout; it is layered where either is needed. 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 Pluto works here
Nothing suits a wall of South Florida glass like a sheer, and Pluto goes where our sheers go: Brickell and Miami Beach condos, Fort Lauderdale waterfront homes, Boca Raton and Palm Beach island. On a single window or a pair of doors it hangs ripplefold or pinch pleat on a ceiling track, with a lined panel behind it in a bedroom. Every panel is cut and sewn by our five in-house seamstresses in Fort Lauderdale.
For the same use, compare Pluto with Dallas 130" (sheer, 130 in railroaded, 10 colourways), Cleo (sheer, 130 in railroaded, 8 colourways) and Weber (sheer, 130 in railroaded, 8 colourways); the table on each page lists the width, content, care code, fire listings and weight side by side.
Pluto: frequently asked
How many colours does Alendel Pluto come in?
3 colourways by Alendel's listing, all 3 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 Pluto fire rated?
Alendel lists no fire test for it. That is normal for a residential decorative cloth; where a building or a project asks for NFPA 701 on the drapery we pick a listed cloth from the same book or arrange a certificate for the job.
Is Pluto Oeko-Tex?
Alendel lists every Pluto colourway as Oeko-Tex, the textile-chemistry listing. Where a client or a project wants the paperwork we request it from Alendel before the cloth is ordered.
What does Pluto 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 Pluto follows from a measure. Ask for a price with the button above and we come back with a figure, not a range.
