Alendel Promise Fabric
19 colourways, chenille, 120 in wide, railroaded, 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.
19 colourways of chenille from Alabaster to Crocodile, 120 in wide
Promise is a chenille from Alendel, listed in 19 colourways, in 100% polyester, at 120 in wide, railroaded. The colours run Alabaster, Cayenne, Crocodile, Currant, Daffodil, Feather, Industrial, Lagoon and 11 more, across the beige, red, green, purple, yellow and grey families. All 19 flagged in stock by Alendel. It sits in Alendel's Luminosity Book.
At 120 in the cloth is turned sideways and the width becomes the height, so a window wall up to about 10 ft tall carries no seam at all; that is the wide-width advantage on floor-to-ceiling glass. 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. Alendel lists the weight at 2.82 lb per yard, heavy for a chenille, so the track or rod is sized to carry it. 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, NFPA 260 and UFAC Class 1, the upholstery flammability listings; and FMVSS 302, the automotive interior test. Every colourway is listed as Oeko-Tex. Country of origin, as Alendel lists it: India.
What Promise does at the window, and what it does not
Best use
Promise is a drapery cloth at 120 in, railroaded, so it is for panels rather than Roman shades: ripplefold or pinch pleat on a track, floor to ceiling across a wall of glass with no seam.
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. Promise is lined in every case; on west glass we line generously so the face does not fade.
Cloth and care
100% polyester; 2.82 lb per yard; care WA-P (washable or dry clean); 110,000 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
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 weight needs a track or rod sized for it; a light decorative rod will bow.
19 colourways of Promise

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 Promise works here
Promise is a wide-width drapery cloth, so it goes on the big glass: ripplefold on a ceiling track across a Brickell living room wall, motorized on Lutron or Somfy so thirty feet of fabric glides open in silence, lined for the sun. It is cut and sewn in our Fort Lauderdale workroom and installed by our own team from Miami to Palm Beach.
For the same use, compare Promise with Honesty (drapery cloth, 120 in railroaded, 16 colourways), Truth (drapery cloth, 120 in railroaded, 16 colourways) and Cozy (chenille, 55 in, 57 colourways); the table on each page lists the width, content, care code, fire listings and weight side by side.
Promise: frequently asked
How many colours does Alendel Promise come in?
19 colourways by Alendel's listing, all 19 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 Promise 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. The code is in the specification table below for every colourway.
Does Promise pass NFPA 701?
Yes by Alendel's listing: Promise passes NFPA 701, CAL 117, NFPA 260, UFAC Class 1 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 Promise cost made up as 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 Promise follows from a measure. Ask for a price with the button above and we come back with a figure, not a range.
