How Lining and Interlining Work

January 20th, 2010 by Cory

The lining is the backing fabric used in the construction of a custom drape.  It is used to create more fullness and protect the fabric from the harmful effects of sunlight. There are different types of lining and interlining, all come in a variety of colors and textures and they each serve specific purpose.

Between the lining and the drape fabric is the Interlining.  The interlining is sandwiched between the two fabrics.  Interlining is really where all of your options are and can make a huge difference in the value and lifespan of the drape.

Flannel interlining you increase the insulating qualities of your window treatments. Installing custom drapes with a heavy-weight  cotton flannel interlining can reduce the loss of heat  in the winter and also reduce heat gain in the summer.

For those who live in a frigid climate, you may also want to consider using an Bump Interlining which is about twice the thickness of flannel interlining.   Bump is used in cold damp winters to keep homes warm.  It is very heavy and you really have to know what your doing  but the results are amazing. Bump interlining combined with sateen lining give a smocked panel a luxurious finish.

Blackout lining allows this drapery panel to keep a true color, matching the wall paper. It also lets you sleep late and blocks the sun’s harmful UV rays protecting interior furnishings.  French Blackout is a lining method where a layer of black lining material is placed between the interlining and outer lining. This provides blackout with a very soft and high end finish.

You have great options today and there are some important considerations regarding the insulating factor of the curtain, the sound barrier performance and overall look of the product.
