Floor-to-ceiling custom drapery in a refined contemporary interior

Drapery, pleated and ripplefold

Pleat fullness, fabric widths, liner widths and pricing widths, each handled on its own terms.

Drapery is priced from panel width, fabric width and pleat type. Fabric widths per panel round up to the next half width. Liner widths are worked out separately and rounded once at the total. Labor uses pricing widths based on a 54-inch reference, so labor and per-width add-ons stay consistent on fabric of any width.

The essentials

Handled without a spreadsheet

01

Your pleat list

Hover to view the full screen

Pleat types are your own list, from single, double and triple to inverted box, cartridge, goblet, butterfly and English box, each with its own fullness. Rod pocket, tab top and stitch for hooks are sized by fullness instead of pleat spacing.

02

Ripplefold by chart

Hover to view the full screen

Ripplefold reads the carrier chart for each panel, adds the return and side hems, and treats butt and overlap masters separately. For ripplefold, the pleat box becomes Fullness.

03

Lining and interlining

Hover to view the full screen

Pick a liner, or leave it Unlined. Choose Stock, Self or Contrast liner. Interlining can only be added when there is a real liner.

04

Seams and surcharges

French seams price per pricing width. Difficult fabric is a percentage of labor. Rings, board mounting and tie backs are their own add-ons.

In detail

Why the liner is rounded once

Rounding the liner up to a whole width on every panel and then multiplying is the most common way a workroom over-orders liner. Silhouette Suite adds first and rounds once, the way your cutter does at the table.

Face fabric keeps its half widths wherever the panels add up to whole widths, so four panels at two and a half widths order ten widths, not twelve.
