The choice of curtains and Drapes ↑
Not every tulle or curtains in the kitchen are able to maintain their marketability, as in the photo. Some models can not tolerate sunlight. For example, the curtains of polyamide filaments are short-lived. Under the influence of ultraviolet radiation is destruction of the material, and the fiber is destroyed.
Materials of cotton fabric in the washing process can lose its appearance and shape. This is due to the ability of cotton fibers to shrink.
The ideal material for tulle experts believe 100% polyester. It is less wrinkled and does not yellow with sun exposure.
For tulle include:
- mesh
- organza
- veil.

They should be in proportion to accommodate incoming components.
