Description

Alabaster is the white that rooms aspire to — a soft, creamy off-white with enough warmth to feel welcoming without tipping into yellow. This plush drape lands with real presence: 90,000 Martindale rub count, 375 GSM, and a weight that fills windows the way they were meant to be filled. Machine washable, colourfast, and built to look this good for years.

Alabaster is a white with history — the colour of aged stone, warm plasterwork, and old linen, with a softness that pure white never quite achieves. In a room, it reads as clean and bright while still feeling warm and inhabited. Against blonde timbers, aged brass, or warm grey stone it's perfectly at home. Against cooler finishes — marble, chrome, white walls — it introduces a quiet warmth that prevents the space from feeling clinical. The lush weave amplifies this quality: the deep, rich plain surface catches light in a way that makes the colour shift between cool and warm depending on the angle and the time of day.

This is a fabric with genuine weight and presence. At 375 GSM, the Plush Alabaster drape falls from the heading in deep, full folds that hold their shape across the full 147 cm panel width. The 83% Polyester Filament and 17% Polyester Spun blend delivers a smooth, plush surface with a slight body that distinguishes it from lighter plain fabrics — the Spun component adds a subtle depth to the hand-feel without making the fabric stiff or formal. The 90,000 Martindale rub count backs all of this with the technical credentials that justify keeping these curtains for the long term.

Care is machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle — straightforward for a fabric this substantial. The colourfast construction means Alabaster stays Alabaster through repeated washing. Near-Zero Shrinkage means the drop comes back exactly right each time. No Colour Bleeding and Flame Retardant treatment round out the specialty credentials, making these curtains as safe and practical as they are visually impressive.

Alabaster Lush drapes work in rooms where the brief is to open the space up and make it feel complete without committing to a colour. Master bedrooms, formal living rooms, and dining rooms where the window treatment is part of a considered overall scheme are the natural home for this colourway. In rooms with high ceilings and tall windows, the 375 GSM weight creates the kind of floor-to-ceiling hang that photographs beautifully and lives even better.

Fabric Information

The Lush fabric is a plush, heavyweight plain woven from 83% Polyester Filament and 17% Polyester Spun — a blend that combines the smooth, lustrous surface quality of filament yarn with the slight softness and body that spun fibre introduces. The result is a fabric with a rich, substantial hand-feel that drapes with genuine authority. It's woven as a plain, meaning no pattern repeats and no geometric overlays — just the pure weight and texture of the cloth itself filling the window from heading to floor.

At 375 GSM, this is one of the heaviest curtain fabrics in the ZIPCushions range. That weight is precisely what makes it exceptional: the Lush drape falls from the heading in deep, full folds that hold their position without assistance, and the 147 cm panel width means each panel fills a generous section of any window. The 90,000 Martindale rub count is the headline technical specification — it means the fabric surface will handle years of daily contact, repeated drawing, and regular washing without any visible change in quality. This is a fabric that is genuinely built to last.

Care is machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle — a straightforward process for a fabric this substantial. The colourfast construction means the colour holds through repeated washing without bleeding or fading. Near-Zero Shrinkage ensures the drop stays consistent wash after wash. The No Colour Bleeding speciality is particularly important for darker colourways, and the Flame Retardant treatment meets domestic safety standards. These curtains are designed to be washed at home, maintained easily, and kept looking their best for the long term.
