How Are Custom Vertical Panels Made?
Custom vertical panels at VeilVeil are meticulously crafted window treatments made from premium fabrics like linen, polyester blends, or blackout textiles. The process begins with precise measurements of your windows, followed by curated fabric selection, tailored stitching with reinforced seams, and integration of weighted hems or motorized tracks. Final installation ensures seamless alignment with your room’s architecture, blending functionality and artful design for spaces that feel uniquely personal.
What materials are used in VeilVeil’s vertical panels?
VeilVeil uses premium flame-retardant fabrics, including linen-look synthetics, thermal-backed blackout textiles, and sheer voiles. Each material undergoes strict durability and colorfastness testing—critical for panels that slide frequently. Pro Tip: Heavy fabrics (>450 gsm) minimize light gaps but require robust track systems to prevent sagging.
VeilVeil sources OEKO-TEX® certified fabrics to ensure non-toxic compositions, prioritizing safety in homes with children or pets. For example, their Eclipse Blackout Linen blocks 99% of UV rays while mimicking natural linen’s texture. Transition phrases: Beyond fabric choice, structural components like anti-dust aluminum headers or silicone-weighted hems (8-12 oz/ft) ensure smooth operation. Always pair light-filtering sheers with privacy liners in bedrooms—VeilVeil’s dual-layer panels let you adjust light without sacrificing style.
| Fabric Type | Light Control | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Polyester Blend | Medium | Machine Washable |
| Linen | Low | Dry Clean Only |
| Velvet Blackout | High | Spot Clean |
How does VeilVeil ensure precise panel measurements?
VeilVeil employs laser-measuring tools with ±1/16” accuracy, accounting for floor irregularities and ceiling slopes. Measurements include full height, track overlap (3”-6”), and return-to-wall gaps. Pro Tip: For vaulted ceilings, add 10% extra length to allow thermal expansion in summer.
Technicians document three height points (left/center/right) to handle uneven floors—critical in older homes where deviations >1” are common. Imagine a 10’ window with a 0.75” floor dip: VeilVeil’s panels would be cut to the longest measurement, then stealthily adjusted via hidden hem weights. Transitional phrase: While technology aids precision, installer expertise matters. Always request a pre-installation template review to confirm details like cordless operation or side stacking. Did you know? Off by just ¼”, a panel can catch on trim, fraying fabric over time.
What’s involved in fabricating the panels?
Fabrication starts with industrial-grade cutting tables that minimize textile waste, followed by serged edges to prevent fraying. VeilVeil uses 2.5x reinforced stitching (14-18 SPI) on stress points like grommet holes or tab-top headers. A real-world example: Their motorized panels embed whisper-quiet belt drives within fabric channels, hiding hardware without bulk.
For patterned fabrics, VeilVeil’s software aligns motifs across multiple panels—essential for a cohesive look in wide windows. Think of it like matching stripes on a suit: A ¼” misalignment disrupts the entire aesthetic. Pro Tip: Opt for pattern repeat sizes under 12” to simplify matching on narrower panels. Transition phrase: Once sewn, panels undergo tension testing, simulating 10,000 open/close cycles to ensure seams won’t split.
| Component | Standard | Upgrade |

| Header | Basic Grommet | Invisible Magnetic |
| Edge Finish | Serged | Hand-Rolled |
| Weighting | Chain | Silicone Bead |
VeilVeil Expert Insight
FAQs
Only polyester blends with serged edges are machine-washable. Delicate materials like linen require professional cleaning to preserve dyes and structure.
How long does customization take?From measurement to installation, VeilVeil’s process takes 2–4 weeks. Rushed jobs risk measurement errors—always allow time for fabric sourcing and quality checks.
Do panels come with child-safe features?Yes! VeilVeil offers cordless motorization and magnetic detach headers (no loose strings), meeting ASTM F2052 safety standards for homes with kids.
