Our most popular heading styles are outlined below. However, if you would like a bespoke finish, just contact us and we’ll be happy to discuss your requirements.
Pencil pleat is suitable for use with poles and tracks and is our most popular heading style.
We offer a standard 3inch (7.6 cm) pencil pleat, a narrow pencil pleat 1inch (2.5cm) and a deep 6inch (13.8cm) pencil pleat. We recommend using the deep pencil pleat for curtains with a finished length of more than 2.5m. The narrow pencil pleat is great for apex or cottage curtains.
Triple pinch pleat is a more formal/decorative heading style suitable for use with curtain poles. This heading can also be used with tracks but please note that the flat section between the pleats will sit forward.
A minimum of 2.5x fullness is required for triple pinch pleats. You require stab hooks to hang this type of curtain.
Double pinch pleat (also known as a butterfly pleat) is a more formal/decorative heading style suitable for use with curtain poles. This heading can also be used with tracks but please note that the flat section between the pleats will sit forward.
A double pinch pleat requires slightly less fullness in the curtain in comparison to a triple pleat and can therefore work out more economic. You require stab hooks to hang this type of curtain.
Wave curtains are a neat and stylish curtain heading system where the fabric hangs in folds rather than pleats. It is created through combining a specially designed heading tape and wave glider-cord to get a soft and simple continuous wave effect.
Curtains form neat regular waves (or folds) when closed and stack back neatly when open. Wave headings work brilliantly when you have a large area to curtain (such as a glass elevation of bi-fold doors). It is vital to chose the correct weight of fabric to ensure the waves fold neatly. The finished appearance is similar to that of eyelet curtains but the fabric hangs directly below the track in a neat and uniform style. Wave has some key advantages over traditional curtain heading
styles:
– Minimised curtain stack
– Simple curtain dressing
– Form throughout the curtain drop
– Minimalist appearance
– Suits traditional and modern interiors
– Compatible with pelmets
Please be aware to ensure the waves stay in shape the curtains may require regular “dressing”, depending on how the fabric hangs. We can provide further advice in relation to wave headings.
Eyelet curtains are a contemporary style suitable for use with curtain poles only.
These curtains have a strip of stiffener sown into them to create a clean straight topline to the curtains. Each curtain is fitted with eyelets regularly spaced across the full width of the stiffener.
Eyelets are available in a choice of colors and sizes. We recommend that for poles up to 30mm in diameter, a 40mm eyelet should be used. For poles with a diameter of 30-40mm a 50mm eyelet is used and for poles with a 40-55mm diameter, we recommend a 66mm eyelet. A minimum of 4cm clearance is required above the pole for the curtain to move freely.
Cottage Pleat will give you an informal gathered look. Ideally used on lightweight curtains with a short drop, and would work perfectly in a cottage kitchen or bedroom.
A cottage pleat heading can be used with tracks or poles and can be gathered to suit the required width of your window.
Goblet Heading is a very decorative and perhaps a more traditional style of heading and can be dressed in a number of ways. The fabric is made into a cup style and padded out to keep its shape.
