I am looking for fire resistant drapery fabric that must be CAN/ULC rated. It must be BLACK. Each drape panel width is 60″ x 118″ in length. I will need enough fabric for 6 drapery panels. The fabric just needs to supply light filtering so it does not need to be lined. I will be hanging the panels with drapery rings & clips.
Do you have anything that fits my needs? This is to soften light coming through church stained glass windows. Cost is an issue so if there is something in your clearance stack, we would be interested.

Hello! I’m a designer from the US and I met with a small fabric printer here in the US yesterday. Because of current tariffs he is uncertain about pricing because normally he sources fabric from China. We wondered about sourcing from Canada because from what I understand tariffs much better with Canada. Can you help us with bulk orders of white dress fabrics for our own printing? I appreciate your help.

Im looking for fire resistant but luxury feeling material. Can you provide?
Hello Diane, thanks for reaching out. We do have a couple of options for you to explore. We have just reached out to you via email to gather some more information.
I am looking for fire resistant drapery fabric that must be CAN/ULC rated. We are at a non-profit school, so cost is an issue. We are looking for sheer curtains or fabric that can be made into curtains. We need to put curtains in 8 classrooms.
Do you have anything that fits my needs?
Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out — we can definitely help with this.
For school and public-building applications in Canada, curtain and drapery fabrics must comply with the CAN/ULC-S109 flame-resistance standard, which is the requirement under the Ontario Fire Code for curtains and decorative textiles used in buildings such as schools and assembly spaces.
We offer CAN/ULC-S109 certified fire-resistant fabrics that are suitable for classroom curtains, including:
• Inherently Flame-Retardant (IFR) sheer fabrics — soft, light-filtering, and permanently fire-resistant (the protection does not wash out)
• Budget-friendly contract fabrics appropriate for non-profit and educational environments
• Fabrics that can be supplied by the yard or fabricated into finished curtains
Since cost is an important factor, we can recommend options that balance compliance, durability, and affordability.
To prepare the best recommendation and pricing, could you please let me know:
Approximate window size (width × height) per classroom
Ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted tracks/rods?
Preferred look — sheer / semi-sheer / privacy curtain
Timeline for installation
Once we have this information, we can suggest the most economical CAN/ULC-rated solution for your 8 classrooms.
Looking forward to helping with your project.
Cheers

Hello, we are looking for some sound proofing material, possible velour to hang on a couple of walls
6’x12’ wide. Would you have anything like this that we could make work?
Thank you
Hi Wendy,
Thank you for reaching out.
Yes, we do carry several velour fabrics that are commonly used to help reduce echo and improve acoustics in spaces such as studios, theatres, churches, and meeting rooms.
For wall applications, our heavier IFR velours are typically the most effective option. We would be happy to recommend a suitable fabric based on your project requirements.
Could you let me know:
How many walls you are looking to cover?
The approximate height of the walls?
Whether the goal is to reduce echo/reverberation or block sound transmission between rooms?
Once I have a little more information, I can suggest the best option and provide pricing. Thanks!
