Curtain Headings Of Your Choice

Curtain headings will give your drapery a very different look which is why it is important to ensure that you have chosen the correct one. The ideal curtain headings depends on how you would like your curtains to look and hang.

Pencil Pleat

This is the traditional standard heading for curtains; it suits most types of track or pole and the majority of fabrics. This heading gives a neat finish as it is gathered together to create ‘pleats of pencils’. The size of the tape will depend on the length of the curtain. This curtain heading works well in both contemporary and period homes.

Double Or Triple Pinch Pleat

These are fuller than pencil pleat and will be hand sewn with careful measuring of the pole or track to ensure an exact fit. This will create a more tailored look and would ideally suit full length curtains, especially with a bold design. They can be hung off a track or a pole but look best when hung beneath a pole.

Cottage Pleats

This style is suitable for lightweight fabrics and for curtains that have a shorter drop and will give a pretty soft gather. These look best in cottage bedrooms or kitchens. A cottage pleat can be used with a track or a pole; the gathering can be altered too, depending on the width of your window.

Wave Curtains

This heading will allow the curtains to hang in wide even folds which will create a soft rippling affect. A specialist tract will be required for this heading but it helps to maximise natural light in a room. It therefore works best in rooms which have large windows.

Box Pleat And Inverted Box Pleat

The difference between a box pleat and an inverted box pleat is the box pleat is a pleat done by folding away two equal folds of fabric from each other in opposite directions. Whilst the inverted box pleat is the reverse of a box pleat. This heading will require more fabric but will create an elegant decorative look. These types of pleats are ideal for more modern homes and are often used in rooms with a geometrical décor theme.

Eyelet Top

These will create a very modern look, especially if used on French or bi-fold doors and will hang in loose wide folds. These can be hung from poles or large rings which slot onto the pole. This will give your curtains a contemporary finish and a very modern look. Eyelets are available in a variety of finishes to suit your room (for example chrome, wood and nickel).

Tab Top

This is a heading which the pole will thread through the tabs on the curtains and again will give a very contemporary look to your curtains. These curtain headings aren’t suitable for rooms where light needs to be blocked.

It is important that the correct heading is chosen to ensure the light is fully blocked out. In addition, we would generally advise that you have your curtains interlined which will allow them to hang in a more stable fashion. We can also offer blackout curtains which will ensure the sun stays out of your bedroom first thing in the morning.

If blinds are your preferred choice, we can also advise you on a variety of first class quality blinds of various types and designs. This is an attractive alternative to curtains and may be more suitable for your needs.

We will always measure your windows to ensure a perfect fit for your curtains or blinds and will always arrange an appointment to hang your curtains so as to ensure a perfect fit. Measuring your windows can be very daunting, so the service that we offer our clients is designed to take away those concerns.

Pelmets

You may already have a design of your own, but if you don’t and your windows require pelmets, these can be designed by us. We will make your pelmets to order and cover them in the same fabric as your curtains. These are all handmade and finished to the highest standard. A fitting can also be arranged.
