Draperies are fabric, which is usually lighter weight and is not suitable
for upholstery projects. They are more tailored with pleats and gathered
headings. It either covers the window completely or is pulled back to the
sides of the window. It may be lined or unlined. Improved drapery fabric is constructed of an open weave decorated fabric with a flexible solar control film. This film permits light transmission through the open weave but reduces the loss or gain of heat by reducing the flow of heat and air through it. This reduces the heat loss in winter.
Drapery fabric tends to be softer and to fall in folds.
