For Roman blinds to be made correctly and offer durability, they need to be lined with a high-quality lining fabric. This is essential to give shape and stability to the face fabric. The lining will also strengthen and protect the face fabric from sun damage and moisture while also reducing the risk of fading.
There are many types of linings that you can choose for your brand-new Roman blinds and Abu Dhabi curtains. The options below are some of the common ones that are best for UAE residents. Whichever lining you ultimately decide on, always think about the final appearance and functionality of your blinds.
Cotton Polyester Mix
This gives Roman blinds a bounce with a fatter feel if you prefer more than just soft cotton. The reason why they work so well with Roman Dubai blinds is that they don’t require a lot of added structure. They also have increased longevity and durability before fading or shredding in the sun, which is what makes this lining ideal for the Abu Dhabi weather.
If you enjoy plenty of natural light flowing through, this lining is the best. It has a sheen which also provides moderate protection from the sun. However, it could shred if it’s near a very sunny window. You can choose this lining for windows where there is restricted sunlight, such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Blackout lining is the best choice if you want to limit the amount of sunlight entering your home, especially to stay cooler indoors. You can get blackout lining with a bonded, standard, or woven finish.
This works best for bedrooms where you might want to take naps during the day without the harsh sunlight seeping through. Blackout lining is also recommended on thin and lightweight fabrics like taffeta, faux silk, and other kinds of light cotton.
These fabrics have a transparent appearance with daylight behind them. Many of the latest blackout linings are not very bulky or thick and can still provide a delicate look with plenty of sheen and crispness.
They work best with Roman blinds because narrow seams can be visible through the blind if you are using standard lining. The blackout lining will then prevent light from penetrating through while eliminating shadow lines from the seams.
You can get this lining in either a blackout version or standard. Both make an excellent choice for machine-stitched and structured Roman blinds. The bond between the interlining and lining needs less internal construction to achieve a perfect finish, making it the ideal choice for customers.
You should avoid coloured linings because they can create a striped and faded effects across the back of the blind. If you have a white or cream tape, it will not look attractive paired with a deep coloured or bright lining fabric, especially from outside the window.
Since the tapes that hold the operating cords in place are usually either cream or white, the options for lining would also be these colours too so that the tape and cables do not stand out.
