WHAT'S RELATED

Curtain Finishes & Lining

There are a number of ways in which to finish the top, side, bottom and back of a curtain. The following provides some guidance on standard finishes and describes options beyond that as well. If you use our request a quote tool online, you'll see that it gives you the option to select a pre-configured set of standard curtain finishes. You can specify a custom finish as well. We're happy to help you through the process if you need some coaching.

Side Finishes

Side finishes for the leading edge of travelers are often finished with a width or half width turnback. This helps prevent the audience from seeing the back or lining of the curtain. Turnbacks can also be laced to the lining, instead of sewn, to allow for varying humidity reactions of the face and lining fabrics.Side finishes can also be as basic as a flat 2" hem. Hook and Loop can be used if drapes are attaching to each other or to a frame. For pieces that need tension on the sides, cable guides or cable hems can be used. For fabrics with stretch, grommet patches are often the best option. Photos are taken from the back of the drape to show detail.

Linings

#

Unlined
An unlined curtain is a single layer of fabric.

#

Liner - Flat
Typically, a flat liner is used on a flat drape. However, it can also be put behind a drape with fullness. This is an option when space is limited, as with flying curtains, or if a removable lining is desired.

#

Liner - Full
Both the face and the lining fabric have fullness. This creates a rich drape with the highest light and sound absorption.

#

Double Faced or Self Lined 5"
A curtain is made double faced when face fabric is used on both sides. Front of house drapes are often double faced as they will be seen from both sides.
