Supplying Curtain Fabric to Penang Since 2003

Penang builders and curtain makers have been ordering from our Jalan Klang Lama warehouse for over two decades now. We ship roughly 4,700 metres of curtain material to Penang addresses every month — split between the island and Seberang Perai mainland. Georgetown's heritage renovation boom and the steady stream of boutique hotel fit-outs along Lebuh Armenian and Lebuh Chulia keep our Penang orders growing year on year.

Our showroom sits at Lot 1509, Batu 8, Jalan Klang Lama, Taman Desaria — about 370 km from Georgetown. Too far for a quick browse. That is exactly why we built a sample service that gets fabric swatches into your hands within 48 hours. No guesswork needed.

Most suppliers won't tell you this, but shipping curtain fabric rolls by road freight from KL to Penang costs less than most people assume. A standard 200-metre order on a pallet runs about RM85-120 for freight. And we absorb that cost entirely on orders above 200 metres.

What We Stock for Penang Projects

Our ready-stock range covers over 287 fabric options across sheer, semi-sheer, blockout, and decorative categories. Widths available: 54" (137cm), 110" (280cm), and 118" (300cm). The 280cm and 300cm widths are what Penang tukang jahit prefer — they suit the tall 3-metre ceilings common in both heritage shophouses along Jalan Penang and newer condos in Gurney Drive and Tanjung Tokong.

Popular picks for Penang orders:

  • Linen-look sheers in 118" width, 85gsm — favourite for resort-style living rooms in Batu Ferringhi villas
  • Blackout fabric at 240gsm, 3-pass coated backing, 99.7% light block — essential for hotel rooms facing east along the Penang coastline
  • Crushed velvet drapery in 54" cuts, 320gsm, tested to 25,000 Martindale rubs — popular for fine-dining restaurants in Georgetown's heritage quarter
  • FR-treated contract sheers that meet BS 5867 Part 2 — required for commercial hospitality projects across Penang

Prices for Penang orders follow our standard wholesale curtain fabric pricing. Expect RM8-15 per metre for basic sheers, RM14-28 for mid-range prints and jacquards, and RM32-65 for premium European linens and heavy velvets. Per bidang pricing available on request for residential curtain shops buying in smaller batches.

Shipping and Delivery to Penang

We use two main routes to get fabric to Penang.

Road freight (standard): Rolls go on pallets via our regular freight partner out of Shah Alam. Pickup from our warehouse happens Monday to Thursday. Delivery to Penang addresses — Georgetown, Jelutong, Bayan Baru, Bukit Mertajam, Butterworth — takes 3-4 working days. Tracking number provided same day.

Express courier (urgent): For rush orders or sample sets, we use Pos Laju and J&T Express. Next-day delivery to most Penang postcodes. Costs more, obviously — but when your hotel client needs langsir fabric by Friday, speed matters more than saving RM30 on shipping.

A few practical things Penang buyers should know. Stock runs low before Hari Raya every year — if your project timeline falls in March or April, order early. Container delays from Ningbo and Guangzhou ports can stretch our restock cycle from the usual 6 weeks to 10-12 weeks during peak season. And lead time during CNY basically doubles because our China mills shut down for 3 weeks minimum.

Sample Service for Penang Customers

Walk-ins work great if you are in PJ. But for Penang, we have this sorted out differently.

Request up to 8 sample cuttings — A5 size, big enough to drape and photograph — couriered free to any Penang address. Takes 2 working days on average. If you need to review a broader range, we loan out full sample books with a refundable RM150 deposit. You keep the book for 14 days, then courier it back at our cost.

For large hospitality projects — say 30 rooms or more — we sometimes fly up a sales rep to present options on-site. Our rep brings the relevant sample books, does window measurements if needed, and works through the spec with your ID or main contractor directly. No extra charge for this on confirmed projects above RM15,000.

Penang Project Types We Supply

Penang is different from KL. The project mix skews more towards heritage restoration and boutique hospitality. Here is what keeps us busy on the island.

Heritage Shophouse Renovations

Georgetown's UNESCO heritage zone drives constant demand for curtain fabric that suits colonial-era architecture. Tall windows — often 3.2 to 3.8 metres — need wider fabric rolls to avoid ugly horizontal seams. Our 300cm-width linens and cotton-blends handle this well. The trick is matching fabric weight to those old timber curtain rods. Heavy velvet on original colonial hardware is asking for trouble. We usually recommend our 180gsm linen-poly blends — enough body to drape properly, light enough for the existing fixtures.

Boutique Hotels and Guesthouses

George Town alone has over 140 registered boutique hotels. Every few months, one reopens after a refit. Blackout requirements for guest rooms are strict — guests paying RM400-plus per night don't tolerate light leakage at 6am. Our 3-pass blackout fabric with 99.7% light-block rating handles Penang's early sunrise without any issues. We also supply matching linen sheers for the day curtain layer, which most hotels run as a double-track setup.

Residential Condos and Landed Homes

From high-rises at Straits Quay to bungalows in Tanjung Bungah, Penang's residential market buys plenty of fabric. Condo developers sometimes bulk-order curtains for show units — we handle those through our KL sales team with delivery arranged to the Penang site directly. Individual kedai kain and curtain shops across Penang — Jalan Burma, Lebuh Campbell, Prangin Mall area — also keep regular accounts with us and reorder monthly.

Penang's coastal humidity is a real factor. Salt air along Batu Ferringhi and Tanjung Bungah corrodes metal hardware and encourages mould on natural fibres. Pure cotton curtains in beachfront properties start smelling musty within 8 months. We push polyester-blend options for any address within 2km of the coast. Colour fastness matters too — our UV-resistant fabrics rate at Grade 5-6 for light fastness, which prevents that washed-out look you see on cheap curtains facing west.

Pricing and MOQ for Penang Orders

Straight talk on cost. Our Penang pricing is the same as our PJ walk-in pricing. No markup for outstation delivery.

Minimum order for Penang shipment is 50 metres — but this can be split across multiple fabric types. Want 15 metres of blackout, 20 metres of sheer, and 15 metres of linen? That counts as one order. Below 50 metres, a flat RM45 surcharge applies on top of freight.

Cutting charge is RM2 per cut for orders requiring multiple lengths from the same roll. If you are ordering, say, 8 different 6-metre cuts from one fabric type, that is 8 cuts at RM2 each. Most pembekal kain charge more.

And no, we do not charge for colour consultation or fabric recommendations. WhatsApp us your project photos and window measurements — we will suggest suitable fabrics, give you per-metre pricing, and calculate total yardage. No strings attached.

Questions from Penang Buyers

Standard road freight from our Petaling Jaya warehouse takes 3-4 working days to reach Penang Island or Seberang Perai. Express courier options can deliver within 1-2 days for urgent orders, though shipping costs run higher — typically RM25-40 for small parcels via Pos Laju.

Yes. We courier A5-size sample cuttings to Penang addresses at no charge for up to 8 swatches per request. Sample books can also be loaned for 2-week periods with a refundable RM150 deposit. Most Penang customers receive samples within 2 working days via Pos Laju or J&T Express.

Our MOQ for Penang delivery is 50 metres per order, which can be mixed across different fabric types. For orders above 200 metres, we absorb the full shipping cost. Smaller orders below 50 metres incur a flat RM45 delivery surcharge on top of standard freight.

Regularly. We supply hospitality-grade curtain fabrics for Penang hotels, resorts, and boutique accommodation. Our range includes FR-treated sheers that meet BS 5867 requirements, heavy blackout fabrics rated at 99.7% light blocking, and commercial-grade textiles tested to 30,000 Martindale rubs or above.

We stock fabrics in 54-inch (137cm), 110-inch (280cm), and 118-inch (300cm) widths. The wider rolls — 280cm and 300cm — suit floor-to-ceiling installations in Penang condominiums and heritage shophouses with those tall colonial-era ceilings. Fewer seams, cleaner finish.

Penang's coastal climate needs specific attention. We recommend polyester-blend sheers and synthetic-backed drapery for any property near the coast. Our UV-resistant range has colour fastness rated at Grade 5-6, which holds up against the harsh sun and salt air typical along Batu Ferringhi and Tanjung Bungah. Avoid pure cotton for beachfront installs — it develops mould within months.
