Voile fabric is a lightweight, sheer fabric that is made from cotton, silk, or synthetic fibers. It has a very open weave, which gives it a delicate appearance and a soft, flowing drape. Voile fabric is often used for curtains, draperies, and other window treatments, as well as for summer clothing and accessories. It allows light to pass through, while providing some privacy. Voile fabrics are available in a variety of colors and patterns, and are often machine washable.
Yes, voile fabrics can be used in commercial spaces. However, it is important to choose the right type of voile fabric for your needs. Direct Fabrics offers a wide range of voile fabrics, including flame-retardant and blackout options, which are suitable for use in hotels, offices, and other commercial spaces. It is important to check the relevant fire safety regulations for your country and industry, and to choose fabrics that meet these standards.
Voile fabrics are typically not recommended for outdoor use, as they are not as durable as other types of fabrics that are specifically designed for outdoor use. Direct Fabrics recommends using outdoor-specific fabrics for outdoor applications, such as awnings, umbrellas, and outdoor curtains. These fabrics are designed to withstand the elements, including rain, wind, and sun exposure, and are typically made from synthetic fibers that are resistant to water, mold, and mildew.
