Hospitality Drapery Fabrics
Code-compliant, high-cycle, contract-grade cloth specified for hotels, restaurants, private clubs, and branded residences across Los Angeles.
What is this fabric?
Hospitality drapery fabric is a specification category, not a single cloth. The studio works in inherent FR (Trevira CS), contract-rated linen-look performance weaves, dimout linings, and acoustic Trevira engineered for restaurants and lobbies — cloths that meet NFPA 701, California Title 19, and ADA-relevant operation requirements without compromising the design intent.
Our hospitality work spans Beverly Hills hotel residences, West Hollywood and Downtown restaurants, private clubs in Bel Air, and branded residential amenity floors. The cloth is specified for high-cycle operation, repeat cleaning, and a 7–10 year refurbishment cycle.
Light control
Guestroom systems are specified as a layered sheer-and-dimout assembly; dimout linings hold 95–99% of light, with blackout achieved through correct side-return and overlap detailing.
Privacy
Fully opaque day and night when specified as a layered system.
Acoustics
Trevira CS acoustic weaves are the studio's default for restaurants and lobbies — NRC 0.45–0.70 when run wall-to-wall at 2.5x fullness.
UV protection
Solution-dyed Trevira and contract performance weaves carry 10–15 year UV ratings on direct exposure.
Durability
10–15 years on guestroom cycle; 7–10 years on restaurant and bar high-cycle openings.
Appearance
Tailored, restrained, brand-aligned. The cloth reads as part of the property's design language, not as a textile statement.
Motorization
Default specification for hotel guestrooms — Lutron Sivoia QS or Somfy Sonesse Ultra wired DC, integrated with room control systems for arrival, sleep, and wake scenes.
Maintenance
Vacuum quarterly; dry-clean by a contract-rated drapery specialist every 12–24 months in guestrooms; restaurant cloth on an 18-month cycle. Inherent FR cloth retains certification through cleaning; topical FR does not.
Thermal performance
Dimout linings deliver guestroom thermal performance comparable to residential blackout — 40–60% reduction in solar heat gain on west-facing tower elevations.
Typical cost range
Contract pricing varies by program scale. Guestroom assemblies typically run $1,400–$3,200 per opening, fabricated and installed; restaurant acoustic programs are priced by linear foot of wall coverage.

“Hospitality is where the discipline of the workroom matters most. The guest will never notice the cloth — they will notice if the drapery sticks, if the sheer hangs unevenly, if the blackout halo is visible at the bedside. I specify for the 24-month service interval and the night-housekeeping team, not for the photo shoot.”

Questions homeowners ask about Hospitality
- Do you take hospitality projects in Los Angeles?
- Yes. Duroque has thirteen years of contract experience across hotels, restaurants, private clubs, and branded residences in West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and the broader Los Angeles market.
- Which FR certification do hotels require?
- California Title 19 is the controlling state regulation; NFPA 701 is the federal standard most operators specify in parallel. We specify cloth that carries both, inherent rather than topical.
- Can you match an existing property standard?
- Yes. We work to brand standards across major operators and we can match dimout, FR, and acoustic specifications to existing property templates.
Talk with Olga about whether Hospitality is the right cloth for your room.
Cloth is a 20-year decision. Every consultation begins with the architecture and the orientation — we will tell you which cloth the room is asking for, even if it is not the one you came in expecting.
Duroque does not mail fabric samples. Selection and sourcing happen in a private design consultation — at our West Hollywood studio or on-site at your residence, hotel, restaurant, or yacht — where cloth is reviewed against the actual light, architecture, and program of the room.
