Window Curtains: Comprehending Fabrics Verse Materials

The Maids • Oct 28, 2013

When trying to compare both materials and fabrics, they can often cause confusion. In reference to that statement, curtains can cause confusion because of the way each company describes their products. Both terms get used a lot. People will describe a shirt as a fabric, but it is actually made from a fabric. In actuality, the shirt is made with cotton. Is this confusing yet? When thinking of the term fabric; it is defined as the product you get when you spin and weave a material together. In addition, it can have more than one material. There is no set number of materials required to form a fabric. With that in mind, the shirt started out as cotton material that was then weaved together to form a fabric. The fabric was used to make the shirt.

It can be a challenge to understand all the various fabrics used today. It can be easier for people who work with fabrics often because they slowly learn the differences, rather than trying to cram it all in their memory at once. To explain better, here is an example. Felt fabric is labeled from the materials used, which is wool, acrylic, or both together. On the other hand, duck fabric is made of various materials but labeled from its bottom-weighted, tightly woven design while consisting of a hard, durable finish.

Materials typically used for window curtains consist of silk, suede, polyester, rayon, velvet, cotton, satin, wool, corduroy, and many other materials. Fabrics often have more than one material in them. The fabrics used to make the curtains may have one or may have several materials.

Each and every single curtain carries various properties, such as the strength level, durability level, design, appearance, and even style. Rooms often have good appeal because of the house cleaning efforts made, yet the curtains can make a huge difference, especially since they are often one of the most visible things in a room. An education on materials and fabrics provides the power to get the right match for you and your rooms.
