The Pink Gloss Chenille Curtain Fabric combines the luxurious, soft pile of chenille with a subtle glossy finish to create curtains that look rich, drape beautifully, and perform reliably.

Product functions & uses

Primary functions

• Light control: Medium to heavy-weight chenille provides effective daylight filtering and, depending on lining, good room-darkening properties.

• Thermal insulation: The pile and density trap air, improving thermal performance and reducing heat loss through windows.

• Acoustic damping: The thick, textured surface absorbs sound, reducing echo and improving room acoustics.

• Privacy: Dense weave and pile prevent visibility from outside while maintaining a warm interior glow.

• Aesthetic enhancement: The gloss finish gives a subtle sheen that lifts interior schemes — ideal for classic, modern-luxe, and boutique looks.

Common uses

• Drapes and window curtains (single-panel, pinch-pleat, grommet, rod-pocket)

• Blackout or thermal-lined curtains in bedrooms and living rooms

• Decorative valances and pelmets

• Upholstery accents (bench cushions, decorative headboards) when specified with heavier backing

• Soft furnishing accents for high-end retail displays, restaurants, and boutique hotels

Product features

• Chenille pile with gloss finish: Velvet-like texture with a refined sheen that reflects light differently at various angles, adding depth.

• Soft hand & excellent drape: Medium-to-heavy weight that folds and pleats attractively without appearing stiff.

• Durability: Strong base weave reinforced for repeated handling and hemming; suitable for commercial and residential use.

• Colorfast and fade-resistant: Dyeing and finishing processes reduce fading from indirect sunlight (grade dependent on supplier treatment).

• Optional performance upgrades: Fire-retardant treatment (BS/EN or NFPA options), FR-certified linings, and thermal/blackout backing.

• Customizability: Available in rolls, pre-cut widths, and made-to-measure panels; multiple backing and lining choices.

• Eco/health options: Can be offered with OEKO‑TEX® or similar low‑emission finishing on request (verify with supplier).

User manual — handling, installation & care

Receiving & inspection

• Unpack with care. Inspect rolls or panels for shipping damage and check label for batch/lot numbers.

• Check color & quantity. Compare against approved samples to confirm batch matching for visible installations.

• Acclimatize. Store fabric flat or on rolls in the installation environment for 24–48 hours to reduce tension changes.

Cutting & sewing guidelines

• Tools: Use sharp shears or rotary cutters; protect the pile direction when cutting to avoid fuzzing.

• Seam allowance: 20–30 mm (3/4"–1") typical for hems; use heavier stitch and reinforced seams for upholstery uses.

• Needles & thread: Use size 90/14 to 100/16 needles (polyester) and strong polyester thread.

• Pile direction: Keep pile running the same direction across panels to ensure uniform appearance and sheen.

Curtain construction & hanging

• Pinch pleat / pencil pleat: Works very well — the fabric’s weight creates elegant folds.

• Grommet/Rod-pocket: For grommets, ensure backing to prevent wear; rod-pocket is suitable for casual styles.

• Lining: For thermal performance or blackout, attach an appropriate lining (thermal fleece or blackout PVC). Lining increases longevity by protecting the face fabric.

Care & maintenance

• Daily care: Gentle vacuum with upholstery attachment to remove dust.

• Spot cleaning: Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth. Test stain removers in an inconspicuous area first.

• Washing: Many chenille curtain constructions are dry-clean only. If manufacturer allows washing, use a gentle cycle, cool water, and low spin; do not tumble dry.

• Ironing: Avoid direct heat on the pile. Use steam from the reverse side or a low-temperature press with a cloth barrier.

• Professional cleaning: Recommended annually or as needed in commercial settings.

Safety & compliance notes

• If used in public spaces (hotels, theatres, restaurants), select FR-certified finishes that meet local building codes.

• Keep away from open flames and high-temperature fixtures.

Frequently asked questions (brief)

Is chenille good for blackout curtains?

• A: Chenille alone is usually light-filtering; for full blackout you should choose a blackout backing or lining.

Can I use this fabric for upholstery?

• A: Lighter curtain-grade chenille isn’t ideal for heavy-use upholstery; choose heavier weights or add backing and abrasion-resistant finishes for upholstery.

How does the gloss affect color matching?

• A: The gloss can cause color to appear richer or slightly different at changing angles. Order a sample and review in the install environment.
