Built for the Windows You Have

Custom Drapery Manufacturing in Irvine

If your windows in Irvine face west or overlook the coast, you already know how direct light and salt air affect fabric over time. Custom draperies manufactured for your specific window dimensions, light exposure, and functional needs give you control over how much sun enters the room and how long the treatment lasts. Eldon Drapery & Blind Service manufactures each piece to fit the openings you have, using fabrics chosen for their ability to block glare, soften incoming light, or frame the view without fading prematurely.

Every drape is built by hand using methods refined over generations, beginning in 1904. You choose the fabric, whether from a designer line, specialty textile, or something you sourced yourself. The result is a window treatment that hangs evenly, operates smoothly, and holds up under the kind of daily use common in Southern California homes and businesses. Draperies are constructed with reinforced hems, lined or unlined depending on your preference, and finished with hardware selected for long-term performance.

How Fabric and Construction Shape Performance

Manufacturing begins with accurate measurements of each window in Irvine, followed by fabric selection based on how the room is used and where the sun hits during the day. Heavier weaves block more light and insulate better, while lighter fabrics filter sun without complete coverage. Linings add structure, reduce fading, and help the drape hang straight even after months of use.

Once installed, you will notice the draperies move along the rod without resistance, hang without wrinkles, and cover the window fully when closed. Seams are straight, hems stay flat, and corners remain square. The fabric you selected will perform as intended, whether that means complete blackout, diffused daylight, or simply softening the view without interference.

Each treatment is built for durability and designed to accommodate the hardware you prefer. If you are working with older mounting systems or need something that integrates with motorized controls, the draperies are manufactured to fit those specifications. Custom work also allows for unusual window shapes, high ceilings, or installations where standard sizing does not apply.

Questions About Fabric or Fit Are Normal

Choosing custom draperies involves decisions about material, weight, lining, and construction, and most people have questions before placing an order.

What types of fabric can be used for custom draperies?
You can choose from designer lines, specialty textiles, or fabrics you source independently. Eldon Drapery & Blind Service works with cottons, linens, silks, synthetics, and blends suited for sun exposure and coastal conditions.
How long does custom drapery manufacturing take?
Timelines vary depending on fabric availability and the complexity of the project. Most custom draperies are completed within a few weeks once measurements and materials are finalized.
What makes custom draperies different from ready-made options?
Custom draperies are cut and sewn to fit your exact window dimensions, which means they hang evenly, cover the full opening, and last longer under daily use. Ready-made options are produced in standard sizes and may not accommodate unusual widths or ceiling heights.
Why does lining matter?
Lining adds weight, which helps the fabric hang straight and resist billowing. It also blocks more light, reduces fading from sun exposure, and provides insulation against heat transfer through the window.
What happens if I need draperies for a commercial property in Irvine?
Eldon Drapery & Blind Service manufactures draperies for both residential and commercial clients. Commercial projects may require flame-retardant fabrics, reinforced construction, or coordination with multiple rooms.

Eldon Drapery & Blind Service has been manufacturing custom draperies since 1904, and that experience shows in how the fabric drapes, how the seams hold, and how the finished treatment performs over time. Call to discuss your project in Irvine and review fabric options suited for your windows.
