Ash Icicles is a delicate jacquard-woven curtain in a cool, composed grey — the vertical Icicles repeat adds quiet movement and depth to a colour that works in almost any room. 233 GSM, 100% Polyester Filament. Martindale tested to 12,000. Easy Clean. Machine washable at 40°C.
Ash in the Icicles jacquard is a cool, blue-adjacent grey that shifts subtly with the light. In morning sun, it reads as a clean mid-grey; in the softer light of afternoon, it picks up a slight warmth. The vertical jacquard repeat — running 23.5 cm wide and 54 cm tall — creates a tall, elegant pattern across the panel that draws the eye upward, making windows feel taller than they are.
Jacquard weaving uses a separate pattern thread worked through the base fabric, creating a design that's part of the structure of the cloth rather than printed or applied to its surface. In Ash Icicles, this means a fabric with real depth and dimension — the pattern catches light differently from the ground weave, producing a subtle visual contrast that reads as texture from a distance and as crafted detail up close.
At 233 GSM, the drape is smooth and flowing — lighter than the Graphic or Snow Storm designs, but substantial enough to hang properly and block distracting light scatter at the window edges. Martindale 12,000. Easy Clean finish. Machine washable at 40°C, near-zero shrinkage.
Ash Icicles suits rooms that benefit from a curtain with visual sophistication — the kind of detail that rewards close attention without demanding it from across the room. Bedrooms with neutral, considered palettes. Living rooms where the furnishings are quality, and the curtains need to keep pace. Dining rooms with a calm, composed aesthetic.
Custom-made to your exact drop and width. Heading options at checkout: Grommet, Tab Top, Rod Pocket, Sleeve Top. All Ash panels ship from the same dye lot.

Fabric Information
100% Polyester Filament at 233 GSM. The Icicles jacquard runs a 23.5 × 54 cm vertical repeat across a 140 cm panel width. The jacquard technique means the pattern is woven into the fabric structure — the design thread works through the base weave, creating dimension and depth that can't be achieved with a plain texture or surface print.
Martindale 12,000 confirms the jacquard weave holds under abrasion — the pattern retains its definition at the contact points and leading edges that get the most handling. Easy Clean finish repels liquid. Machine washable at 40°C, near-zero shrinkage.
In Ash, the Icicles repeat creates a tall, vertical movement across the panel. The cool grey tone means the pattern reads as shadow and depth rather than as colour contrast — visible and textured, but never demanding or busy.

FAQs
1. What does the Icicles jacquard pattern look like in Ash grey?
The Icicles pattern is a vertical repeat — tall, elongated shapes that run up the panel in a regular sequence. In Ash grey, the jacquard pattern shows as a subtle interplay of shadow and surface: the raised woven elements catch light slightly differently from the base fabric, giving the panel depth without bold colour contrast. From a distance, it reads as a textured grey; up close, the vertical structure is clearly visible.
2. What's the difference between a jacquard weave and a regular textured fabric?
In a plain textured fabric, the surface variation comes from the structure of the base weave. In a jacquard, a separate pattern thread is woven through the base using a jacquard mechanism — this creates a design that's structurally part of the cloth, with genuine dimension. The Icicles jacquard has a raised pattern element that catches light differently from the ground, producing visual depth that a plain texture can't replicate.
3. Does the tall 54 cm vertical repeat make rooms look higher?
Yes — elongated vertical patterns draw the eye upward, which makes windows and ceilings feel taller. In a room with standard ceiling heights, the 54 cm Icicles repeat is particularly effective because it occupies a significant portion of a standard panel length, creating an uninterrupted vertical movement. In rooms with high ceilings, the effect is even more pronounced.
4. How durable is a jacquard weave compared to other curtain fabrics?
The Martindale rating is 12,000 — sufficient for regular residential use, including rooms that see daily opening and closing. The pattern thread in the jacquard is part of the fabric structure, so it doesn't separate, peel, or fade independently of the base weave. With the Easy Clean finish and machine washability, Ash Icicles holds its look over extended use.
5. What rooms suit Ash Icicles best?
Rooms with a calm, considered aesthetic. Bedrooms where the curtain is part of a neutral, quality palette. Living rooms with grey or off-white walls where a patterned curtain adds detail without adding colour. Dining rooms that lean toward a composed, formal aesthetic. The cool grey tone and vertical pattern are versatile — they suit both minimalist and more fully furnished rooms.
6. How do the panels look when multiple Ash Icicles curtains hang side by side?
The 23.5 cm horizontal repeat means each panel starts at the same point in the pattern. When two or three panels hang across a wide window, the Icicles repeat continues horizontally in a logical sequence — it doesn't create a jarring break at the panel edges. The vertical nature of the pattern means the overall effect is a cohesive wall of cool grey texture.
7. Is Ash Icicles suitable for rooms with children or pets?
Yes. Child and pet-friendly is part of the Easy Clean specification. The spill-resistant finish handles everyday accidents before they become stains, and 40°C machine washability means deep cleaning is straightforward. Near-zero shrinkage means the panels come back true to size after every wash.
8. Does the Ash colour in Icicles match the Ash colour in other ZIPCushions designs?
Ash is used across several designs in the Timeless Textures range, but the tone may vary slightly between fabric constructions — the jacquard weave in Icicles produces a different surface quality than a plain texture, which affects how the colour reads. If you're mixing designs across a room, consider ordering fabric samples before committing to a full order.
