What are Polyester Curtains?
Before we get started it is important to cover the basics about Polyester. Polyester is a synthetic fibre that is known widely in the soft furnishings industry. There are many reasons why it is so popular amongst curtain and blind drapery but there are a few that stand out amongst the rest.
Polyester Curtains are Durable
As mentioned above, Polyester is a synthetic fibre which means it is not susceptible to harsh environmental elements like heat, humidity, or moisture. It is easy to maintain and clean and it does not stretch, wrinkle, or shrink. Because of this they generally do not need to be ironed, but if you decide to iron it always follow the instructions on the label very closely. If you home filled with children and pets, then Polyester curtains will be a life saver! They can be easily pulled off and hand washed, which makes them suited to daily living. They are mould resistant which makes them perfect for open living areas where the kitchen and dining space is combined. Polyester curtains are also great for sunny rooms because they do not fade or deteriorate as quickly as natural fibres like Linen or Cotton. Polyester curtains also act as solid insulators on your windows as the synthetic fibres have strong insulating properties.

Polyester Curtains are Affordable
Polyester has a very streamline manufacturing process is which makes it readily available in the market. Because of this reason it is considered very affordable in comparison to other curtain fabrics such as Linen or Cotton: which need to be harvested from crops.
If you are looking for curtains with low investment, then Polyester curtains are a great choice. Keep in mind there is no direct correlation between how affordable Polyester curtains can be and their perceived quality: Polyester combines the best of both worlds!
Chunky textured Polyester curtains are often chosen for their ‘linen-look‘ quality but with the durability of regular Polyester. This makes it a very great alternative to more expensive fabric fibres without the high investment cost.
Polyester Curtains come in endless Design Options
Polyester curtains have come a long way over the years and as manufacturing and weaving processes improve, so do the designs that are become available to homeowners. Many think of Polyester as a flat weave fabric however Polyester fibres can be manipulated very easily during the manufacturing process to take on different forms and thicknesses. As a result, you may find very ‘chunky’ textured Polyester curtains take on a more ‘linen-look‘ appearance, or a more smooth and flat polyester curtain that showcases a shinier and softer surface.
The options are endless, and this is what makes Polyester such a great option for homeowners. Many choose textured Polyester curtains as an alternative to Linen curtains because they want the look without the heavy financial investment.
