DRAPERIES
The drapery your client will build the whole room around.
Since 1982, Fabritec has been fabricating custom draperies entirely by hand for the trade. Every panel is inspected, pressed, and perfected before it leaves our workroom—because a drapery at this level isn't a window covering. It's the room.
Why Choose Fabritec Draperies
Not commercial grade. A different standard entirely.
Most workrooms produce draperies. We produce work our trade partners can stake their reputations on. The difference is in how we approach every single order—not as a production run, but as a custom piece.
Custom to the fabric, not just the spec
Every roll of fabric we receive is inspected and assessed before a single stitch is made. The weight, hand, and behavior of the fabric determines how we build the drapery—not the other way around.
Pattern matching, top to bottom
We match patterns from the top of the panel to the bottom. Many workrooms skip this. We don't, because your client will notice, and so will you.
One-stop quality across your whole project
When you specify draperies, Roman shades, and woven shades from the same workroom, you get a consistent level of quality across every window. One relationship. One standard.
Trade-only, always
Fabritec is exclusively for interior designers, retailers, and workroom partners. We do not sell direct-to-consumer. Your client relationship is yours to own.
Inside the Collection
Everything your most ambitious project requires.
From the inspection of the fabric roll to the final hang check, every phase of our drapery fabrication is deliberate. Here is what that means in practice.
17+ Drapery Styles
French pleat, Euro pleat, ripplefold, grommet, rod pocket, camisole, tab top, tuck top, and more—one of the most comprehensive drapery style offerings in the American workroom market.
Hand-Sewn Corners
Corners are sewn by hand. It's a detail most clients will appreciate—it defines how a finished panel holds its shape over time.
C.O.M. Accepted
Bring your own fabric—we handle it with the care it deserves. Every C.O.M. order is inspected, assessed, and fabricated to the specific requirements of that material.
Fabric Inspection on Every Order
Before fabrication begins, every fabric roll is inspected. We assess weight, behavior, and construction requirements.
Pressed Hems Throughout
Side hems, bottom hems, and top hems are all pressed—a step that separates a crisp, custom drapery from one that simply hangs.
2 to 4 Week Delivery
Standard lead time of 2 to 4 weeks from order confirmation, with rush options available for time-sensitive projects.
How We Make It
Every phase checked. Every detail deliberate.
Our drapery fabrication process is not a production line—it's a sequence of intentional decisions, made by skilled hands, for each individual order.
Fabric inspection before anything begins
The moment your client's fabric roll arrives, it is inspected. We evaluate how it will behave during fabrication—because the stitch method, construction approach, and handling all depend on what the fabric requires.
The process is determined by the fabric
We do not apply the same fabrication process to every drapery. The weight of the fabric determines the stitch method. The weave determines how hems are handled. Every order is assessed on its own terms.
Every panel is hung before it ships
As a final quality check, every panel is hung to verify height, seam quality, and overall execution—even the linings. If something is off, it's corrected before the order leaves our workroom, so your install is seamless for your clients.
Seams finished to a higher standard
Our seam finishing is a point of pride. It's one of the details that separates a Fabritec drapery from anything produced at a commercial workroom.
The Workmanship
The work other workrooms will not take on.
We specialize in decorative and highly custom drapery work that most workrooms decline, because it is delicate, detailed, and demanding. For us, it is simply what we do.

The Styles
17+ styles. One standard of quality.
From the structure of a French pleat to the fluidity of a ripplefold, every style is a distinct construction—each one fabricated to the specific requirements of the fabric and the room.
Idea Guide
The language of drapery, in your hands.
For centuries, draperies have defined the character of a room. Not as an afterthought, but as the hallmark of a considered interior. The softness, the warmth, the quiet elegance that only fabric can bring: these are things your client will feel before they can articulate them.
The Fabritec Drapery Idea Guide gives you the language, the imagery, and the full range of 17 styles to help your client find exactly what they are looking for.
The Trade Partnership
We remove the friction, so you can specify with confidence.
We've been doing this since 1982. We know what can go wrong on a high-stakes drapery project—and we've built our process around making sure it doesn't.
C.O.M. expertise for every price point
We fabricate with designer-sourced fabrics at any price point—including materials that require special handling. Every C.O.M. order begins with an inspection, not an assumption.
Accommodating non-standard requests
If your client needs something that falls outside a standard specification, we work with you to accommodate it. Our process is built around the project, not the other way around.
One workroom for your full project
Specify draperies, Roman shades, woven shades, and more—all at the same level of quality, from the same workroom. Fewer vendors, fewer variables, fewer surprises or delays.
Rush options available
Standard lead time is 2 to 4 weeks from order confirmation. Rush fabrication is available for time-sensitive projects.
What Our Trade Partners Say
Fabritec's draperies are not commercial grade. They are works of art. I did my client's whole home ten years ago with another vendor, and we recently redid her home with Fabritec's draperies. The whole energy of her home felt elevated. She told me she finally feels like her home's windows are a centerpiece.
A lot of people do not understand well-constructed draperies. Fabritec does—and they are the only workroom I trust to execute my highly custom work.
I designed draperies for a very famous home in Washington, DC. The head of my design firm told me I had one option to get it right and well made: Fabritec. The draperies turned out so well it has doubled my drapery business.
When it has to be right, there is only one call to make.
The Workroom Behind the Work
One facility. One standard. One point of accountability.
Every Fabritec order moves through a single 32,000 square foot workroom, not a network of subcontractors. Four dedicated departments handle fabrication from start to finish, with fabric experts and a dedicated product development team involved at every stage. We have complete in-house supply and assembly, which means shorter lead times and consistent quality, with a single point of accountability from the cutting table to the finished shade. Trade professionals get a curated, à la carte selection across hardware and materials, so no project is boxed into a fixed system.
