Velour

This is a napped (pile) fabric most commonly used for stage draperies. The heavier 25oz and 32oz weight can also be used, to some degree, for sound absorption. Because Velour is napped, it appears as one color when viewed nap down and a slightly different color when viewed nap up. For this reason it is very important that you have the nap of each width of a curtain running in the same direction. We recommend nap down as it tends to collect less dust. If you are only interested in material, care should be taken to order enough fabric to complete your job the first time. Velour is dye lot sensitive and additional orders for the same fabric may be from different dye lots which might be noticeably different. The also applies to Black.

Cotton Velour is available in 16oz, 21oz, 25oz and 32oz. These weights are per linear yard. It is 54” wide and comes in a wide selection of colors. All Cotton Velour is treated by the Immersion process by the Mill and meets NFPA 701 Small.
