Secrets of making wonderful fabrics
In the manufacture of cloths, a double satin weave of polyester fibers is used.
The fabric is two-layered and three-layered. The classical three-layered fabric consists of the outer, intermediate and inner layers.
The outer layer faces the opening of the window. Usually it has a white color, which has high reflective properties.
The intermediate layer carries the main load of the qualities of the material.
The inner layer faces the room and performs a decorative function. The color of the inner layer can be monophonic or with a pattern, matte or with overflow, smooth or relief. It can be embroidered.
All layers are treated with acrylic foam. In the two-layer version, the outer layer is absent.
Layers can be joined in two ways. The first method involves the creation of a three-layer web by joining three different fabrics. This method is also called "sputtering." It allows you to create curtains stunningly bright colors with unusual patterns.
The second method consists of a special weaving that connects all three layers. In this case, the layers are made of different threads intertwined. The second method allows you to create a stronger and more reliable cloth, although less bright. Fabrics with a sputtering sometimes exfoliate, and their outer layers are scratched.
Three-layer material is more expensive than a two-layer material, but all its properties are stronger. At the same time, the two-layer version is easier. Therefore, it is often purchased as a lining for curtains.
The refractoriness of the material is achieved through special impregnation treatment. However, in more modern models, instead of impregnating an additional refractory thread Trevira is woven into the canvas.
Cloth with thread Trevira comes out less stiff and more resistant to fire. It glows slightly under the influence of high temperatures with gradual fading.
In contrast, the impregnated fabric gradually loses its refractory properties due to washout of the impregnation during washing.
Modern fabric blekaut along with excellent aesthetic indicators for interior decoration of living rooms and bedrooms and office rooms does not burn and does not emit harmful substances.

Cloth does not require special care. It is washed several times a year as needed, as it repels dust.
The temperature of washing is better to choose 30-40 ° С. The product is perfectly cleaned. Machine spin is not recommended, especially as the fabric dries very quickly.
