What are the benefits and disadvantages of cotton and hemp curtains?

1. Shading effect

 

Now there is a type of cotton and linen shade curtain on the market. It is built on the traditional curtain to thicken the fabric. The product is relatively thick and can realize the basic control of light. If it is due to the problem of shading effect, hesitant between cotton and linen curtains and shading cloth, it is recommended to choose cotton and linen curtains. Shading cloth can only play a basic role in shading, but its air permeability is much worse than that of cotton and linen curtains.

 

2. Sound insulation effect

The feeling of being disturbed by noise is too difficult to be tranquil. I believe many people have had it. According to the relevant research data, 90% of the external noise of a house comes from the window. If a good curtain is selected, it can reduce 10% to 20% of the external noise. Among the curtains of various materials, sound absorption effect of fabric curtains is very good, among the thick cotton and linen curtains are the best.

 

3. Texture

Flax is feeling is rough, so cotton-linen blended curtains inherit the soft characteristics of cotton fabric. On the other hand, many people are concerned about the drape of cotton and hemp curtains, which mainly depends on the content and processing technology of cotton and hemp. Crease resistance of cotton fiber itself is relatively strong. Processing technology, if the cotton and linen fabric is washed in the production process, it can make the curtain soft and sagging.

 

4. Permeability

Cotton and linen blended curtains are linen, which is a natural plant fiber with very good air permeability and moisture absorption. Summer temperatures are generally higher. Daytime rest without pulling the curtain light is too strong, pulling the curtain and worrying about too stuffy. Installation of cotton and hemp curtains is not required to worry too much about this problem. The natural permeability, hygroscopicity and dehumidification of flax make cotton and linen curtains become ornaments that can breathe freely.

 

The above mentioned cotton and hemp curtain points where, followed by the need to understand the shortcomings of cotton and hemp curtain, the following will say where the shortcomings of cotton and hemp, probably know, let's see.

1. No wrinkle resistance:

Like cotton products, linen products are natural and not wrinkle-resistant, which is a relatively obvious shortcoming. Of course, it is undeniable that random wrinkles are the quality of cotton and linen. Although cotton and linen are prone to wrinkles, it is also better to deal with them. As long as local spraying of water vapor is needed, because linen has a good drop feeling, it will also be ready for drying clothes. It's flat.

 

2. It's a bit prickly to wear a close suit for the first time.

Multicolor dyed flax/cotton flax will be tougher than other fabrics, which are caused by multi-dyeing process. As long as you patiently accept the initial touch, as the number of washing increases, it will become more and more close to the requirements of the skin, becoming soft and elegant. Unwashed fabrics, if more flexible, without the rough feeling, vary. It must be flax, or the content of flax fabrics is lower than 30%.

 

3. The fabric feels rough.

High-quality linen fabrics, or fabrics with high flax content, have not been washed many times, and they touch will be rough, and they will become flexible after several times of washing.

 

4. The dyeing tone of cotton and linen is dark and belongs to dark color system.

The effect of dyeing linen is different from other dyed fabrics. Whether gloss or saturation is relatively dim. Because the camera has limited ability to distinguish the color, the dim effect can not be reflected in the product photos, so the photos are generally brighter than the real ones.
