By using layers of drapery linings you can create up to a 310 R Value for window coverings The layering effect can be used in draperies and roman shades It will change a hot shinny summer home to a cool relaxed and livable space for your family The most effective layering is using face fabric (decorator fabrics) layer of interlining and a heavier drapery lining such as Classic Sateen or Classic Nap Lining also available in many colors
Temp Assure Drapery Linings create an insulating air barrier between the drape and lining material that actually raises the R-Value rating of a window making it more energy efficient The unique surface construction of Temp Assure Linings greatly improves its ability to trap air and form an insulating barrier that prevents thermal loss Our Hanes Linings can increase the R-Value as much as 300 over unlined drapes

drapery fabric because of its versatility It dyes well comes in a wide range of color choices and allows air to pass through it

By using layers of drapery linings you can create up to a 310 R Value for window coverings The layering effect can be used in draperies and roman shades It will change a hot shinny summer home to a cool relaxed and livable space for your family The most effective layering is using face fabric (decorator fabrics) layer of interlining and a heavier drapery lining such as Classic Sateen or Classic Nap Lining also available in many colors
Temp Assure Drapery Linings create an insulating air barrier between the drape and lining material that actually raises the R-Value rating of a window making it more energy efficient The unique surface construction of Temp Assure Linings greatly improves its ability to trap air and form an insulating barrier that prevents thermal loss Our Hanes Linings can increase the R-Value as much as 300 over unlined drapes

Fabrics ndash Drapery 101 bull Cotton ndash The strongest of the natural fabrics Cotton is very commonly used as
drapery fabric because of its versatility It dyes well comes in a wide range of color choices and allows air to pass through it
bull Silk ndash Silk is a beautiful fabric for window drapes It comes in a variety of weights and is long wearing and durable Some of the finest oriental rugs that have lasted for several hundreds of years are made of silk
bull Linen ndash Linen is light casual and has a fine luster It is also a very strong fabric and is stain-resistant But linen also wrinkles easily so it is best to use some sort of lining material when using this type of fabric for draperies
bull Acrylic or Polyester ndash This is a great synthetic fabric to blend with a natural fabric like cotton to increase durability It is also colorfast (color will not run or fade with washing or wear) stain-resistant and has sun-resistant qualities not found in natural fabrics like cotton and linen

By using layers of drapery linings you can create up to a 310 R Value for window coverings The layering effect can be used in draperies and roman shades It will change a hot shinny summer home to a cool relaxed and livable space for your family The most effective layering is using face fabric (decorator fabrics) layer of interlining and a heavier drapery lining such as Classic Sateen or Classic Nap Lining also available in many colors
Temp Assure Drapery Linings create an insulating air barrier between the drape and lining material that actually raises the R-Value rating of a window making it more energy efficient The unique surface construction of Temp Assure Linings greatly improves its ability to trap air and form an insulating barrier that prevents thermal loss Our Hanes Linings can increase the R-Value as much as 300 over unlined drapes

Fabrics ndash Drapery 101 bull Cotton ndash The strongest of the natural fabrics Cotton is very commonly used as
drapery fabric because of its versatility It dyes well comes in a wide range of color choices and allows air to pass through it
bull Silk ndash Silk is a beautiful fabric for window drapes It comes in a variety of weights and is long wearing and durable Some of the finest oriental rugs that have lasted for several hundreds of years are made of silk
bull Linen ndash Linen is light casual and has a fine luster It is also a very strong fabric and is stain-resistant But linen also wrinkles easily so it is best to use some sort of lining material when using this type of fabric for draperies

By using layers of drapery linings you can create up to a 310 R Value for window coverings The layering effect can be used in draperies and roman shades It will change a hot shinny summer home to a cool relaxed and livable space for your family The most effective layering is using face fabric (decorator fabrics) layer of interlining and a heavier drapery lining such as Classic Sateen or Classic Nap Lining also available in many colors
Temp Assure Drapery Linings create an insulating air barrier between the drape and lining material that actually raises the R-Value rating of a window making it more energy efficient The unique surface construction of Temp Assure Linings greatly improves its ability to trap air and form an insulating barrier that prevents thermal loss Our Hanes Linings can increase the R-Value as much as 300 over unlined drapes

By using layers of drapery linings you can create up to a 310 R Value for window coverings The layering effect can be used in draperies and roman shades It will change a hot shinny summer home to a cool relaxed and livable space for your family The most effective layering is using face fabric (decorator fabrics) layer of interlining and a heavier drapery lining such as Classic Sateen or Classic Nap Lining also available in many colors
Temp Assure Drapery Linings create an insulating air barrier between the drape and lining material that actually raises the R-Value rating of a window making it more energy efficient The unique surface construction of Temp Assure Linings greatly improves its ability to trap air and form an insulating barrier that prevents thermal loss Our Hanes Linings can increase the R-Value as much as 300 over unlined drapes

drapery fabric because of its versatility It dyes well comes in a wide range of color choices and allows air to pass through it

By using layers of drapery linings you can create up to a 310 R Value for window coverings The layering effect can be used in draperies and roman shades It will change a hot shinny summer home to a cool relaxed and livable space for your family The most effective layering is using face fabric (decorator fabrics) layer of interlining and a heavier drapery lining such as Classic Sateen or Classic Nap Lining also available in many colors
Temp Assure Drapery Linings create an insulating air barrier between the drape and lining material that actually raises the R-Value rating of a window making it more energy efficient The unique surface construction of Temp Assure Linings greatly improves its ability to trap air and form an insulating barrier that prevents thermal loss Our Hanes Linings can increase the R-Value as much as 300 over unlined drapes

drapery fabric because of its versatility It dyes well comes in a wide range of color choices and allows air to pass through it
bull Silk ndash Silk is a beautiful fabric for window drapes It comes in a variety of weights and is long wearing and durable Some of the finest oriental rugs that have lasted for several hundreds of years are made of silk
bull Linen ndash Linen is light casual and has a fine luster It is also a very strong fabric and is stain-resistant But linen also wrinkles easily so it is best to use some sort of lining material when using this type of fabric for draperies
bull Acrylic or Polyester ndash This is a great synthetic fabric to blend with a natural fabric like cotton to increase durability It is also colorfast (color will not run or fade with washing or wear) stain-resistant and has sun-resistant qualities not found in natural fabrics like cotton and linen

By using layers of drapery linings you can create up to a 310 R Value for window coverings The layering effect can be used in draperies and roman shades It will change a hot shinny summer home to a cool relaxed and livable space for your family The most effective layering is using face fabric (decorator fabrics) layer of interlining and a heavier drapery lining such as Classic Sateen or Classic Nap Lining also available in many colors
Temp Assure Drapery Linings create an insulating air barrier between the drape and lining material that actually raises the R-Value rating of a window making it more energy efficient The unique surface construction of Temp Assure Linings greatly improves its ability to trap air and form an insulating barrier that prevents thermal loss Our Hanes Linings can increase the R-Value as much as 300 over unlined drapes

By using layers of drapery linings you can create up to a 310 R Value for window coverings The layering effect can be used in draperies and roman shades It will change a hot shinny summer home to a cool relaxed and livable space for your family The most effective layering is using face fabric (decorator fabrics) layer of interlining and a heavier drapery lining such as Classic Sateen or Classic Nap Lining also available in many colors
Temp Assure Drapery Linings create an insulating air barrier between the drape and lining material that actually raises the R-Value rating of a window making it more energy efficient The unique surface construction of Temp Assure Linings greatly improves its ability to trap air and form an insulating barrier that prevents thermal loss Our Hanes Linings can increase the R-Value as much as 300 over unlined drapes

By using layers of drapery linings you can create up to a 310 R Value for window coverings The layering effect can be used in draperies and roman shades It will change a hot shinny summer home to a cool relaxed and livable space for your family The most effective layering is using face fabric (decorator fabrics) layer of interlining and a heavier drapery lining such as Classic Sateen or Classic Nap Lining also available in many colors
Temp Assure Drapery Linings create an insulating air barrier between the drape and lining material that actually raises the R-Value rating of a window making it more energy efficient The unique surface construction of Temp Assure Linings greatly improves its ability to trap air and form an insulating barrier that prevents thermal loss Our Hanes Linings can increase the R-Value as much as 300 over unlined drapes

Fabrics ndash Drapery 101 bull Cotton ndash The strongest of the natural fabrics Cotton is very commonly used as
drapery fabric because of its versatility It dyes well comes in a wide range of color choices and allows air to pass through it
bull Silk ndash Silk is a beautiful fabric for window drapes It comes in a variety of weights and is long wearing and durable Some of the finest oriental rugs that have lasted for several hundreds of years are made of silk
bull Linen ndash Linen is light casual and has a fine luster It is also a very strong fabric and is stain-resistant But linen also wrinkles easily so it is best to use some sort of lining material when using this type of fabric for draperies
bull Acrylic or Polyester ndash This is a great synthetic fabric to blend with a natural fabric like cotton to increase durability It is also colorfast (color will not run or fade with washing or wear) stain-resistant and has sun-resistant qualities not found in natural fabrics like cotton and linen

By using layers of drapery linings you can create up to a 310 R Value for window coverings The layering effect can be used in draperies and roman shades It will change a hot shinny summer home to a cool relaxed and livable space for your family The most effective layering is using face fabric (decorator fabrics) layer of interlining and a heavier drapery lining such as Classic Sateen or Classic Nap Lining also available in many colors
Temp Assure Drapery Linings create an insulating air barrier between the drape and lining material that actually raises the R-Value rating of a window making it more energy efficient The unique surface construction of Temp Assure Linings greatly improves its ability to trap air and form an insulating barrier that prevents thermal loss Our Hanes Linings can increase the R-Value as much as 300 over unlined drapes

Temp Assure Drapery Linings create an insulating air barrier between the drape and lining material that actually raises the R-Value rating of a window making it more energy efficient The unique surface construction of Temp Assure Linings greatly improves its ability to trap air and form an insulating barrier that prevents thermal loss Our Hanes Linings can increase the R-Value as much as 300 over unlined drapes

By using layers of drapery linings you can create up to a 310 R Value for window coverings The layering effect can be used in draperies and roman shades It will change a hot shinny summer home to a cool relaxed and livable space for your family The most effective layering is using face fabric (decorator fabrics) layer of interlining and a heavier drapery lining such as Classic Sateen or Classic Nap Lining also available in many colors
Temp Assure Drapery Linings create an insulating air barrier between the drape and lining material that actually raises the R-Value rating of a window making it more energy efficient The unique surface construction of Temp Assure Linings greatly improves its ability to trap air and form an insulating barrier that prevents thermal loss Our Hanes Linings can increase the R-Value as much as 300 over unlined drapes

Linings ndash Drapery 101

By using layers of drapery linings you can create up to a 310 R Value for window coverings The layering effect can be used in draperies and roman shades It will change a hot shinny summer home to a cool relaxed and livable space for your family The most effective layering is using face fabric (decorator fabrics) layer of interlining and a heavier drapery lining such as Classic Sateen or Classic Nap Lining also available in many colors
Temp Assure Drapery Linings create an insulating air barrier between the drape and lining material that actually raises the R-Value rating of a window making it more energy efficient The unique surface construction of Temp Assure Linings greatly improves its ability to trap air and form an insulating barrier that prevents thermal loss Our Hanes Linings can increase the R-Value as much as 300 over unlined drapes
