Curtains can be found in almost every home, they do not only serve as window decoration but as a privacy shield as well.(Fensterdekoration; Sichtschutz) The protection from passenger’s or neighbours’ looks in a house is very important for protecting privacy.

There are many fabrics for curtains which makes it possible for the producers to offer a wide range of products to their customers. Furthermore, there are also cloths which can be bought by the customers for knitting their curtains themselves. Curtains are usually made of a transparent material which is available in various colours. Moreover, curtains are permeable to light which is of course very important for not having the room appear too dark.

At the same time curtains are not only available in a smooth and natural coloured fabric but also as string curtains or pleats or more. (Fadenstore; Plissee)

Depending on the material curtains are equipped with patterns where the curtain material is processed in strings or applications are directly attached to the curtains. However, applications are not possible for all kinds of curtains that is why some curtains can only be bought in different colours but without any extra frills. Many curtain fabrics are made of polyester for keeping them in shape.

Curtain materials reach from ajour cloths up to voiles. (Ajour; Voile) Thus the customer can get veil-like curtains, cloths with latticed patterns, crocheted, made of cotton or lace, with woven threads, velvet, dirt-repellant and much more.(Häkelei; Spitze) The curtain material leaves no wishes open, which is good since most people wish a different curtain for each room.
