Curtain Fabric Supplier in Ipoh
Artwork Fabrics supplies wholesale curtain fabric to curtain makers, contractors, and furnishing shops across Ipoh and Perak. Ready stock ships from our PJ warehouse via the PLUS highway — typically at your door within 1–2 working days.
Why Ipoh curtain makers source from PJ
The maths is simple. Broader stock range, better trade pricing, and a straight highway run from Petaling Jaya to Ipoh.
Ipoh has changed. The Old Town heritage belt alone has seen roughly 47 boutique hotels and guesthouses open in the past six years, and every single one of them needed curtains. Add the residential condos climbing along Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, the serviced apartments behind Ipoh Parade, and the commercial offices filling up Greentown — and you get a market that chews through curtain fabric faster than most people realise.
But here is the catch. Ipoh does not have a dedicated wholesale curtain fabric district the way KL does around Jalan Masjid India or Jalan TAR. Most kedai kain in Ipoh carry retail-weight stock — limited colours, limited widths, and mark-ups that eat into your margins as a tukang jahit or contractor.
That is where we come in. Our warehouse sits at Lot 1509, Batu 8, Jalan Klang Lama in Petaling Jaya, and the PLUS North-South Expressway puts us roughly 195 km from Ipoh. Door to door, fabric dispatched in the morning reaches most Ipoh addresses by the next working day. Sometimes same day, depending on the courier.
The stock advantage
We keep approximately 287 colourways in ready stock across our full curtain fabric range. That covers blackout, dimout, sheer, linen-look, velvet, and printed collections. Widths run from 54 inches for accent panels through to 118 inches (300cm) for floor-to-ceiling installations — which is what most condo projects in Ipoh require these days.
Most suppliers won't tell you this, but the real bottleneck for curtain makers in Ipoh isn't price. It is colour availability. A developer hands you a spec sheet requiring 4 colourways of blackout in a specific texture, and your local pembekal only stocks 8 colours total. You end up making two trips to KL anyway. We solve that problem with one WhatsApp message and a courier booking.
Pricing structure for Ipoh trade customers
Our wholesale pricing starts from around RM8 per metre for basic dimout fabrics and goes up to RM38 per metre for premium velvet and textured linen weaves. The exact price depends on fabric weight, construction, and order volume. We price per metre, not per bidang, so there is no confusion about measurements.
Minimum order for delivery to Ipoh is 50 metres total. Mix and match across any fabrics. No minimum per colour within that order.

Curtain fabric for Ipoh projects
From heritage shophouse conversions in Old Town to new condos along the Kinta River, we supply fabric for every project type in Ipoh.
The boutique hotel boom in Old Town Ipoh
Ipoh's Old Town heritage zone has become one of the hottest boutique hospitality markets in Malaysia. Concubine Lane, Jalan Sultan Yussuf, Jalan Panglima Bukit Gantang Wahab — these streets are packed with converted shophouses that need curtains built to a specific brief. Heritage buildings come with odd window sizes, tall ceilings, and arched openings that standard off-the-rack langsir cannot handle.
Hotel operators want blackout performance in guest rooms but also need the curtains to look appropriate for a heritage setting. That typically means a linen-look blackout fabric in natural tones — ivory, stone, warm grey — rather than the heavy solid-colour blackout you would put in a chain hotel. We stock linen-texture blackout in 320cm width at around 240gsm, which drapes properly even at 3-metre ceiling heights common in these old shophouses.
Residential condos and townships
Ipoh's residential market has exploded. Bandar Meru Raya, Taman Bercham, Sunway City Ipoh, Haven Lakeside — these developments move hundreds of units, and every unit needs curtains. As a curtain maker in Ipoh, you are probably quoting 3 to 6 units a week during handover season. The common spec is blackout for bedrooms at 280cm width, dimout for the living area, and sheer for the sliding doors.
Getting fabric fast matters during handover peaks. We have seen curtain makers in Ipoh lose jobs because their pembekal took 2 weeks to restock a basic cream blackout. We keep our top 23 blackout colourways in ready stock year-round, so you are not waiting on a container from China to close a sale.
And a practical note for contractors handling multiple units: we can cut and label fabric per-unit before shipping. Tell us which fabric and how many metres per unit, and each roll ships tagged with the unit number. Saves hours at your workshop.
Commercial and office fit-outs
Greentown Business Centre, Ipoh's commercial hub along Jalan Sultan Idris Shah, continues to see office renovations. The typical spec calls for dimout roller-blind fabric or curtain track dimout in neutral colours. We supply dimout fabric at 110-inch width specifically for commercial curtain track systems, with colour fastness rated at Grade 4 minimum so the fabric holds up in sun-facing offices.
For meeting rooms that need full blackout for presentations, our triple-pass blackout fabric blocks 99.7% of light at just 185gsm — light enough to not overload ceiling-mounted curtain tracks in commercial installations.
Ipoh's healthcare and institutional market
Pantai Hospital Ipoh, KPJ Ipoh Specialist, Columbia Asia — these private hospitals rotate curtain fabric on a 3 to 4 year cycle. Hospital curtain specs demand fabrics that pass Martindale abrasion testing at 20,000 rubs minimum and meet fire retardancy standards. We carry FR-treated curtain fabrics in the institutional colour range that these projects require.
Why Ipoh curtain makers choose us
Direct wholesale pricing, broad ready stock, and a delivery route that is one straight highway from our warehouse to yours.
Direct highway delivery
PJ to Ipoh via PLUS takes about 2 hours by road. Fabric dispatched before noon typically arrives the next working day. No transhipment, no delays at sorting centres.
287 ready stock colours
Across blackout, dimout, sheer, linen, and velvet ranges. Stop losing jobs because your local supplier only has 12 colours on the shelf.
Trade pricing from RM8/m
Wholesale rates starting at RM8 per metre for dimout, scaling with fabric type and volume. Pricing is per metre, not per bidang. Clear and simple.
Full width rolls
Most of our curtain fabric comes in 280cm to 300cm (110" to 118") width. Proper widths for floor-to-ceiling installations without joins, which Ipoh condo projects demand.
Sample book service
We courier sample books to your Ipoh workshop. Keep them at your kedai, show clients, then reorder by WhatsApp with the swatch code. No guessing on colour.
Seasonal stock planning
Stock runs low before Raya and CNY every year. Our regular Ipoh customers pre-order 4 to 6 weeks ahead to lock in stock before the festive rush clears out popular neutrals.
How to order curtain fabric from Ipoh
Three ways to source fabric from us, whether you prefer WhatsApp, phone, or a walk-in visit to our PJ warehouse.
WhatsApp ordering (most common for Ipoh)
About 85% of our Ipoh orders come through WhatsApp. The process is straightforward: send us the swatch codes from your sample book, tell us how many metres per colour, and we reply with a quote and stock confirmation. Payment by bank transfer, and we dispatch the same day for orders confirmed before noon. Your fabric arrives in Ipoh by the next working day in most cases.
If you do not have our sample book yet, send us your project brief — fabric type, preferred colours, width needed, and total meterage — and we will suggest options with photos and pricing. Many new curtain makers in Ipoh start this way before requesting the full sample book.
Walk-in at our PJ warehouse
Some Ipoh curtain makers prefer to see and feel the fabric before buying, especially for hotel or high-end residential projects where texture matters. Our warehouse at Jalan Klang Lama, Taman Desaria is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm, and Saturday 9am to 2pm. The drive from Ipoh takes roughly 2 hours on the PLUS. Call ahead so we can pull out the ranges you want to compare — saves you time on site.
A lot of Ipoh-based contractors combine a warehouse visit with sourcing trips to other PJ and KL suppliers. Smart move — you cover your curtain fabric, hardware, and trimmings in one trip.
Bulk and project orders
For larger Ipoh projects — hotel fit-outs, condo bulk handovers, commercial installations — we handle things slightly differently. Project orders above 500 metres get volume pricing. We can also reserve specific dye lots to ensure colour consistency across a large installation, which matters when you are fitting 40 identical hotel rooms and the blackout fabric needs to match wall to wall across every single one.
Container delays from China ports have been an issue since 2021. We buffer against this by maintaining higher ready stock levels on our 23 most popular colourways. But for project orders with specific colour requirements, we recommend placing orders 6 to 8 weeks ahead to allow for any supply chain hiccups.
