Not as bad as people think. The thick weave slows the heat coming through the window, so your AC isn’t running flat out all day. Humidity is the only real risk for velvet, and indoor AC handles that on its own. Honestly, bedrooms and living rooms with normal cooling, no issue.
Velvet Curtains in Dubai That Hang The Way They Should
Heavy fabric, deep folds, that slow shift in colour as the light moves through the day. Our velvet curtains are cut, weighted, and fitted in your home by people who know what velvet does in Dubai light, and where it goes wrong when the weight is off.

Why Velvet Still Wins The Bedroom And The Living Room
Velvet doesn’t sit on a window the way other fabrics do. The pile picks up light from different angles. The shade you see in the morning isn’t quite the shade you see at 9 pm with the lamps on. That quiet shift is most of why people pick velvet over anything else. The weight matters more than the look, though. A proper velvet panel runs around 240 to 280 grams per square metre. That’s heavy. Heavy enough to soften the room. Less traffic noise. Less AC hum.
Outstanding Features of Velvet Curtains

Heavy Pile
Draping Fabric weight sits at 240 to 280 GSM. That weight is what makes the curtain fall in proper folds instead of stretching flat on the rod.
Light Control
Velvet on its own blocks 60 to 80 percent of daylight. Add a blackout backing, and the room goes almost fully dark when you need it to.
Sound Dampening
The thick pile absorbs sound inside the room. Living rooms feel quieter, bedrooms feel softer, and home cinemas finally hit the way they’re supposed to.
Custom Finishes
Choose desired finishes for your curtains. Every panel is cut to your ceiling height with the header style you want.

Frequently Asked Questions
Velvet and any other fabric will. We also apply a UV layer to the back of the south and west windows, where the sun strikes the most. A 6-month rotation of the panels will also ensure even wear. By the way, cotton velvet retains colour longer than polyester.
Use the soft brush attachment to vacuum them no more than once a month. Also, brush in the direction of the pile. Properly dry cleaned annually and a half, they will maintain their appearance as they were when first purchased.
They can, but velvet is heavy, and a standard motor will struggle with it. We use a higher-torque Somfy motor for velvet panels and test the track during measurement. Cutting corners here means a callback in three months, which nobody wants.
