The Regal Drapes Difference

Sateen Lining (sometimes called privacy) provides more fullness to the drape while protecting the fabric from the suns harmful rays. More Details >

Thermal Lining (dim out) provides additional fullness, privacy and a significant amount of thermal and noise insulation. More Details >

Black Out Lining provides all of the benefits of Thermal Lining, with complete light blockage. Ideal for bedrooms and areas where complete darkness is desired. More Details >

Interlining is used to add additional body and fullness to drapery. Most often used with thin fabrics like silk. More Details >

Blind stitched hems provide a clean tailored look. The hemming process takes the unfinished edge of the fabric and wraps it into a beautiful straight line. The fabric is then sewn using a blind-stitch machine. This processes conceals the thread on the visible side of the drape leaving a clean hem.

This ultra-durable thread has no color and blends onto any fabric. We use this thread on most of our drapery to ensure that only the beautiful drapery fabric is visible, and not the thread joining it. It is specially formulated to hold up against extreme sunlight exposure ensuring a longer life for your custom drape.

Blind stitches create beautiful hems but they are also susceptible to easily pulling apart. Hand-stitching the bottom corners provides additional support and prevents the blind stitches from coming apart. Standard on all of our draperies this process ensures a long lasting drape.

Weights are placed at bottom corners where panels are joined to ensure proper hang. When fabric is joined, the weight is gathered more near the top and middle, adding the weight ensures that the drape hangs evenly.

Drapery fabric typically comes in 54 to 60 inch widths(we simply do not carry any smaller widths). The benefit of going custom is that you can join several lengths together to make a wider drape. A pattern presents a challenge in that it has to be cut and matched perfectly otherwise it will look completely off. Our craftsmen take great care to carefully cut and join panels to create a perfect match that is only noticeable when looked at up close.

We use a 5” buckram heading on all of our pleated and flat panels. This stiffening agent creates a crisp look that only comes with custom made drapery. The buckram also helps to control and set the folds on your drapery.

We pre-install drapery hooks on all flat panel and pleated drapery. This makes it easier to take the drape out of the box and hang. Drapery hooks can be readjusted to increase / decrease the vertical coverage of the drapery.
