Velvet and Velveteen fabrics are defined by their short, dense, cut pile surface, which provides a plush hand-feel and exceptional light-absorbing capacity. Velvet is traditionally woven on a double-cloth loom, giving it a luxurious drape, while velveteen is often a more cost-effective textile made with an extra weft (filling) yarn creating the pile. For curtains, these materials are prized for their heavy, sound-dampening, and insulating drape, enhancing the perceived quality of a room.

Opulence and Thermal Insulation for Windows

Velvet and velveteen curtains bring an element of classic luxury and superior thermal performance to interior spaces. They are highly sought after by designers for their rich color depth and the way the pile interacts with light, providing visual interest and elegance.

SUZHOU YIFAN TEXTILE CO., LTD. supplies woven velvets and velveteens, focusing on materials with an optimized weight and fiber content to ensure an ideal drape for large curtain applications. We ensure precise color dyeing and consistent pile height, which are critical for maximizing the visual appeal and insulating properties of these luxurious textiles.

High-End Window Treatments

  • Formal Drapery: Curtains for dining rooms, master bedrooms, and home theaters requiring a sophisticated, insulating fabric.

  • Blackout Curtains: The inherent density of velvet makes it an excellent outer layer for a full blackout system (paired with an opaque lining).

  • Acoustic Drapes: The heavy pile structure aids in absorbing sound, making them suitable for studios or large rooms with echo issues.

  • Stage and Theater Curtains: Materials requiring high density, deep color, and often FR treatment for public venues.

Aesthetic Depth and Functional Density

  • Rich Color Depth: The pile reflects light unevenly, resulting in an intense, variable color saturation that changes with the light and viewing angle.

  • Superior Insulation: The dense woven structure and high pile trap air, providing better thermal retention and sound dampening than flat woven fabrics.

  • Excellent Drape: The high weight (GSM) of the material ensures a full, structured, and luxurious "break" or fold in the curtain.

  • Versatile Fiber Options: Polyester offers durability and low cost; cotton offers better breathability; viscose offers the highest sheen and drape.

Common Buyer Inquiries

  • Q: Does the pile crush easily in the washing machine?

  • A: For the best results, velvet and velveteen are typically recommended for professional dry cleaning. If machine washing is necessary, we recommend using a large, gentle machine and avoiding high-speed spin cycles.

  • Q: How do I prevent the curtain from "pooling" or showing pressure marks?

  • A: Pooling (shading) is a feature of pile fabrics. To minimize it, avoid strong creasing during fabrication and steam the curtains lightly after hanging to restore the pile.

  • Q: Is it available in wide width for seamless curtains?

  • A: Yes, we offer velveteen and specific polyester velvets in wide widths (up to 280cm) to allow for seamless, floor-to-ceiling drapery, minimizing vertical seams.

Guide to Material Specification

Selecting the right pile fabric is about aesthetic and function:

  • Pile Density: Higher pile density (fibers per area) provides a richer look and better insulation.

  • Velvet vs. Velveteen: Velvet is generally more luxurious and drapes better; velveteen is more robust and generally easier to clean for heavy-use environments.

  • Directionality: Always cut and sew velvet/velveteen with the pile running in the same direction to ensure uniform color and appearance.
