Silent Gliss Colorama 2 Fabric
Colorama 2 is a best selling Silent Gliss semi-transparent fabric and is a staple fabric in the Silent Gliss fabric collection. It has a uniform and stable weave which ensures superb performance across a wide range of shading applications. It is an extremely versatile fabric made from Trevira CS yarn, making it inherently fire retardant. The fabric has inherent acoustic properties, helping to absorb sound in large open plan living spaces. It is a wide width fabric and is available up to 335 cm wide with an extensive colour range. We would always recommend a sample is ordered prior to purchase as colours can vary on screens. Please see the Fabric Swatches tab to order any samples. All Silent Gliss fabrics are dyed before being woven which provides increased colour fastness and reduced colour fading.
Applications
Silent Gliss’s Colorama 2 fabric is suitable for use on:
- Curtains – wave curtains and the Swiss pleat curtain heading style
- Roman Blinds
- Roller Blinds
- Vertical Blinds
- Panel Glide Systems
- Wintergarden Systems such as lantern windows
Curtain Application
Colorama 2 lends itself beautifully to the wave curtain heading style. Due to it being a wide width fabric if your curtain drop is less than the maximum fabric width we can make up your wave curtains without any joins for a seamless, polished finish.
We can also make up your curtains in the Swiss pleat heading style. This delivers a soft, airy look and is less uniform than the wave curtain heading style. You may wish to consider the Swiss pleat heading style if you prefer a more relaxed look or if space is limited (front to back) and there isn’t space for the depth of the folds on the wave curtains. The Swiss pleat is also ideal if you are layering a semi-sheer curtain with a thicker fabric to sit in front of the voile. The Swiss pleat is a simple, neat heading that sits nicely behind a wave curtain.
Blind Applications
Colorama 2 can be stiffened for use across a variety of blind applications. The stiffened fabric is however still very soft and makes it ideal for domestic blinds. Silent Gliss laser cut the fabric for their blinds for a neat and precise finish. The wide width nature of the fabric lends itself perfectly to blinds required across bi-fold or sliding doors.
