Liner

Lining refers to fabric sewn to the back of your drapery or shade. It is sewn at the sides while the bottom is not sewn.

Benefits can include added sun protection, improved insulation, or increased light control.

The lining could enhance the perfect finish making the curtain soft, blocking out sunlight, reducing noise, and insulating against heat and cold cutting back on window-related energy loss.
