Alendel Star Fabric

31 colourways of heavy drapery cloth, 118 in wide

Star is one of the Alendel drapery cloths we make up here, with 31 colourways on the card, in 100% polyester, at 118 in wide, railroaded. The colours run Charcoal, Castle, Candle, Blush, Basil, Bamboo, Anchor, Grape and 23 more, across the grey, beige, pink, green, purple and brown families. All 31 flagged in stock by Alendel. It sits in Alendel's Supernova 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 a drapery across a window wall without a seam. Polyester holds its pleat and its size in humid air and after cleaning, and stands up to Florida sun better than cotton or linen does. It weighs 1.69 lb per yard by Alendel's listing, and a cloth of that weight is hung on a track or rod sized for it. Care is WA (washable). It passes NFPA 701 and CAN/ULC S109, the drapery flame tests asked for on commercial and condo common-area work in the US and Canada. Every colourway is listed as Oeko-Tex. Country of origin, as Alendel lists it: Turkey.
