Product description

Today is a semi-transparent plain weave curtain textile with a light and gentle character. It is crafted from a twisted, spun polyester yarn by Trevira CS eco, which is flame-retardant and derived from 100% recycled post-production waste. Its cotton-like structure evokes a natural look and feel.

The slight variations in the finely spun yarn create subtle irregularities, which contribute to the specific expression of the curtain. As the yarn is used in both the warp and the weft, this effect occurs in both directions, resulting in a shifting but harmonious, balanced structure that is reminiscent of crossing lines.

Today is an uncomplicated, versatile curtain with a soft and stable touch. The curtain can be hung vertically and horizontally and is reversible, as each side has a unique appearance. One side has a subtle lustrous shimmer, created by a calender finish that gives a smooth and silky glazed surface. The other side remains matte and crisp, like cotton.

The colour palette for Today is suitable for everyday use and impresses with natural powdery and chalky tones like Sea salt, Eclipse, Sky and Slate, that generate a calming, yet vivid atmosphere. Echoing the colours of Tonight, both curtains can be combined seamlessly to create a joyful interplay of varying shades and transparencies that emphasise their individual character.

Performance
  • LightFastness {{site.selectedConfiguration.lightFastness}}

    ISO 105-B02

    Lightfastness relates to the ability of a textile to retain its colour under light. When testing for lightfastness, samples are exposed to artificial daylight for a specified period.

    The evaluation scale ranges from 1 (worst) to 8 (best). An increase of one point corresponds to a doubling of the lightfastness, i.e. the same fading takes twice as long.

    There are differing requirements concerning the flame-retardancy of textiles dependent on the area of application, country or even region. Our textiles pass the majority of international standards and are also tested for a selection of regional requirements.

Care instructions curtain textiles

Regular cleaning is important in order to keep the curtain textile looking its best and to prolong its life. Dust and dirt wear down the textile and also reduce its fire-retardant properties.

  • Regular care

    If possible, we recommend washing curtains once a year. If used heavily, a more frequent cleaning may be appropriate. All curtain fabrics by Kvadrat and Sahco are supplied with a care label. We recommend the use of detergent without optical bleach for all items in which, according to care instructions, washing is possible. Please take into account a possible shrinkage between 1–4 %. It is always possible to wash at a lower temperature that the one specified for light soiling. Please contact a professional dry cleaner if dry cleaning is the only option for maintenance. A professional dry cleaner may also assist in working out maintenance schedules which ensure that the fabrics are maintained properly so that a good indoor climate and maximum duration of the curtains are achieved.
