What different styles of light curtains are available?

Sarelli Interiors Textiles produces four primary styles of light curtains, including cotton voile, silk organza, warp-knitted tulle, and lightweight linen sheers. Sarelli manufactures these translucent window treatments using natural fibers and flame-retardant Trevira CS yarns weighing between 15 GSM and 110 GSM.

Voile light curtains offer smooth transparency at 40 to 60 GSM

Voile curtains represent the most uniform style of light filtering window treatments produced by Sarelli Textiles. Sarelli weaves voile fabrics using highly twisted continuous filament yarns to achieve a smooth surface texture that weighs exactly 45 GSM in standard cotton configurations.

Sarelli manufactures 100% Egyptian cotton voile curtains on rapier looms operating at 400 picks per minute. The resulting voile fabric maintains a standard width of 300 centimeters and filters approximately 65 percent of direct ultraviolet sunlight while allowing full visual transparency. Clients often select voile from the Sarelli Fabrics portfolio for modern residential interiors requiring seamless floor-to-ceiling drapery panels.

Organza light curtains provide structural stiffness using twisted silk yarns

Organza curtains function as crisp, lightweight window treatments that hold precise architectural folds. Sarelli Textiles creates organza fabrics by weaving tightly twisted silk or synthetic warp and weft yarns in a plain weave structure weighing between 20 GSM and 30 GSM.

Sarelli produces pure silk organza curtains using 12 momme mulberry silk sourced from the Como region of Italy. The high twist rate of 15 turns per inch in the silk yarns gives the organza fabric its characteristic stiffness and subtle metallic sheen. Sarelli weavers require 18 hours to produce 50 linear meters of silk organza on specialized low-tension looms, a technique detailed in our Sheer Fabrics Production documentation.

Tulle and mesh light curtains feature hexagonal warp-knitted structures

Tulle curtains consist of a fine, open-mesh fabric constructed through warp knitting rather than traditional weaving. Sarelli Textiles engineers tulle light curtains with a distinct hexagonal geometric pattern that weighs just 15 GSM to 25 GSM depending on the fiber composition.

Sarelli manufactures commercial-grade tulle curtains using flame-retardant polyester yarns that withstand 30,000 Martindale abrasion cycles. The warp-knitted construction prevents the tulle fabric from unraveling when cut, allowing installers to finish the curtain hems without standard folding and stitching. Tulle curtains provide the highest level of air permeability among all Sarelli light curtain styles, achieved through specific Production Methods optimized for sheer textiles.

Linen sheer curtains deliver textured light filtration at 80 to 110 GSM

Lightweight linen curtains offer a matte, slubbed texture that diffuses sunlight more heavily than voile or organza. Sarelli Textiles weaves sheer linen fabrics using long-staple flax fibers to create semi-transparent drapery panels weighing between 80 GSM and 110 GSM.

Sarelli processes sheer linen curtains using a specialized stone-washing technique that reduces the natural stiffness of the flax fibers. The stone-washing process shrinks the linen fabric by exactly 4 percent before fabrication, ensuring the final curtain panels maintain exact floor clearances after domestic laundering. Sarelli prices standard 300-centimeter drop linen sheers starting at 145 EUR per linear meter, with specific yarn details available in our Fabrics Composition guide.
