Understanding Dye Lot Variations at EZcurtain

At EZcurtain, we understand the importance of consistent color in your custom drapery. One factor that can impact the final color is dye lot variations, which occur naturally between different batches of fabric dyed in a single run. Small differences in dye application or fabric absorption can cause slight color inconsistencies, even with the same manufacturer.

How We Minimize Dye Lot Variations

We take steps to reduce dye lot variations in your custom curtains:

  • Consistent Sourcing: We aim to use fabric from the same dye lot for your entire order, ensuring uniform color.
  • Careful Matching: Our team matches yarns and fabrics and checks the finished product to ensure it matches the color shown on our color card.

Tips for Our Customers

To ensure the best results, we recommend the following:

  • Order All Drapery Together: For a consistent look, place all your drapery orders at the same time, especially if you're ordering for the same space (e.g., curtains for a window).
  • Check Color Under Proper Lighting: After receiving your curtains, use D65 lighting or natural daylight near noon to check the color. This lighting provides the most accurate reflection of the fabric’s true shade.

Important Notes

Multiple Orders: Ordering curtains at different times may lead to slight color differences.

Over Time: Even curtains from the same order may show slight color variation due to exposure to light or environmental factors.

Why Dye Lot Variations Matter

Dye lot variations are inevitable in fabric production. We recommend ordering enough fabric from the same lot to cover your entire project, ensuring uniform color. If you order from different lots, we will blend fabrics to create a more consistent look.

At EZcurtain, we are committed to delivering custom-made drapery with consistent color and quality. By following these tips, you can help minimize color differences and receive curtains that perfectly fit your space.
