Description
Dove is a hushed grey-white — not stark, not warm, just quiet and composed. It brings calm to busy rooms and turns ordinary daylight into something softer and more considered. At 96 GSM, this voile is featherlight, and Dove is the color that makes that lightness feel intentional.
Dove sits at the cooler end of the Absolute white range. It has a faint grey undertone that makes it feel genuinely calm rather than simply pale — it's the difference between a room that whispers and one that shouts. In natural light, it shifts beautifully, catching a blue-grey quality in morning light and settling into a warmer, softer tone by afternoon. It pairs naturally with cool whites, soft greys, stone tones, and charcoal accents.
At 96 GSM, this is a genuine lightweight voile — 100% Polyester Spun with a consistent plain weave that hangs without bunching and distributes light evenly across the window. The grey undertone in Dove has a grounding quality on the glass that pure white doesn't — it reduces the contrast between the bright window and a darker interior, which can ease eye strain in screen-facing rooms.
Easy Clean is built into the fabric. Spot clean small marks, machine wash at 40°C when the panel needs a thorough clean. Near-zero shrinkage means your precise drop stays precise after every wash cycle. Low tumble dry and a light iron if needed. Simple, practical, reliable.
Dove suits living rooms, home offices, and bedrooms — any space where visual calm is as important as light. It works particularly well in contemporary and Scandinavian-influenced interiors. Layer it with a mid-grey or charcoal blockout panel for a cohesive look that moves from day to night without jarring color shifts.
Every Dove Absolute panel is cut to your measurements — your drop, your width, your heading style. Made to order for a clean, precise fit at any window.

• Single panels for narrow windows and alcoves

Fabric Information
The Absolute Voile is 100% Polyester Spun, woven at 96 GSM into a lightweight, consistent plain sheer. The polyester spun yarn delivers a soft hand feel with better dimensional stability and wash performance than natural fiber voiles. Easy Clean technology is inherent to the fabric construction — the spill resistance, stain repellency, odor resistance, and machine washability are built into the fibers rather than applied as a surface treatment. At 140 cm wide, each panel provides generous coverage and drapes cleanly from any heading type. The Dove colorway is colorfast through regular 40°C machine washing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dove has a cool grey-white tone — it leans toward the blue-grey end of the spectrum rather than the warm greige or brown-grey family. In morning light it can read almost silvery; in late afternoon light it shifts to a softer, warmer tone. It pairs best with cool whites, mid-greys, and charcoal accents rather than warm beige or yellow-toned palettes. If you're decorating with warm earthy tones, Buff or Natural from the same range may be a better match.
Yes — machine washable at 40°C on a gentle cycle with a mild, non-chlorine detergent. The near-zero shrinkage means your panel holds its exact custom drop through repeated washing cycles. Hang to air dry or tumble dry on low heat, then a low iron if any creases remain. Avoid chlorine bleach, which can affect both the fabric structure and the Dove tone over time.
Both Dove and Platinum are cool-toned neutrals, but they read differently. Dove is a softer, more muted grey-white — it has a quieter, more understated quality. Platinum has a brighter, more metallic-grey undertone and reads slightly more contemporary and polished. Dove works well in calm, minimal spaces; Platinum suits sharper, more structured interiors. Both pair well with grey and white palettes, but Dove is the softer of the two.
The 96 GSM Absolute Voile filters and diffuses light but does not provide true privacy. In bright daytime conditions, visibility from outside is meaningfully reduced. In the evening with indoor lights on, the fabric is more translucent. For full privacy at any time, pair with a blockout or dim-out panel on a separate track or behind a double rod system. The Dove colorway's grey undertone can reduce some of the visual contrast between inside and outside, which helps slightly during the day.
All four heading options work with Dove, but the choice depends on the overall room style. Grommets suit contemporary spaces with clean, structured hardware. Rod Pockets work well in softer, more relaxed interiors. Tab Tops are casual and informal. Sleeve Tops are best for track systems. For a Scandi or minimal interior where Dove shines most, Grommets or Sleeve Tops on a black or silver track tend to create the most cohesive look.
You can, but keep in mind that voile curtains at 96 GSM do not block light — they filter it. For a bedroom where morning light is fine, Dove alone works beautifully. For a bedroom where you need darkness for sleep (or for children's rooms, shift workers), pair the Dove voile with a blockout panel behind it. The Dove colorway's calm grey-white tone is a particularly restful choice for bedroom sheers.
Yes — Child & Pet Friendly is one of the core speciality features of the Absolute Voile. The fabric is soft, non-snag, and free of sharp hardware (heading types like grommets use smooth-edged metal). The Easy Clean spill resistance means accidents can be wiped before they absorb, and machine washing at 40°C handles the bigger clean-ups. Near-zero shrinkage means repeated washing doesn't reduce your panel to a stub.
At 96 GSM the Absolute Voile provides some UV diffusion — it reduces the concentration of direct sunlight coming through the window, which can help protect furnishings from the harshest UV exposure. It does not block UV completely. For rooms where UV protection is a priority (e.g., to protect timber floors, artwork, or upholstery), a heavier drape or a specific UV-protective fabric would provide better coverage alongside the sheer.
Contact the ZIPCushions team before ordering if you have unusually tall windows or ceiling heights that require drops over 300 cm. Most standard residential windows are well within the range, but some older homes and commercial spaces have higher windows. The team can advise on what's achievable and any additional considerations for very long panel drops.
Wash at 40°C or below every few months, or as needed. Always use non-chlorine detergent and avoid bleach. Hang to dry away from direct prolonged sunlight where possible — UV over long periods can gradually affect any fabric's color. A low iron on the reverse of the fabric removes any stubborn creases. The Dove colorway's cool grey-white tone is forgiving — it doesn't show light dust the way stark white can, so maintenance intervals are naturally more relaxed.

The cushions are beautiful. The vacuum pack shipping worked great for us because we were able to transport them to our cottage in the compressed form and were able to free them and try them out on the furniture before we stored it for the season. Everything was exactly as ordered. And we liked the fabric even better than in the pictures.

All around great
We had several a curved bench seats. The curve is subtle as far as measurements go, but becomes more exaugurated with the length of the bench. They did a great job. Couldn't reasonable be happier, and the cushions were delivered on time too.

Wow. Zip Cushions is awesome. We ordered backs from another supllier because they were big time on sale. They didnt have enough remaining to also get the bottpm cushion. I ordered a bunch of fabric swatvhed from Zii Cushions to see what would look best. Zip Cushions has the best selection of fabrics ive seen hands down. Then webirdered custom bottom cushions and they are perfect. They teached out before making them to be sure the ties and details we entered online were correct. And the cushikns got here so fast its hard to helieve they were madenjust for us. Excellent everything!
