Silent Gliss Polyflax Fabric
Polyflax is a structured polyester fabric with a beautifully, soft, natural linen-look, lending itself perfectly to domestic environments. It is made from 100% polyester and is inherently fire retardant. It is a wide width fabric and is available up to 325 cm wide in a wide variety of colours to complement modern interior design colour schemes and styles. 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 Polyflax fabric is suitable for use on:
- Curtains – wave curtains and the Swiss pleat curtain heading style
- Roman Blinds
- Panel Glide Systems
Curtain Application
Polyflax lends itself beautifully to the wave curtain heading style for a natural look. 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 voile 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.
Please note due to the lightweight design of Polyflax fabric, we don’t recommend the curtains are lined as the sheer fabric on occasion can cling to the lining and you can see the lining joins through the fabric. Sheer (voile) fabrics look best unlined to allow light to penetrate into the room yet provide a level of shading / privacy.
