Choice of headings:Simply choose your fabric then your heading and we'll do the rest. Here's some information to help you choose which heading will fit with your style and furnishing.
Pencil pleat
The pencil pleat provides a uniform and full finish to your curtains and gives a simple, elegant look that won't break the bank. Pencil pleats are suitable for both tracks and poles. Supplied with three hook positions, it allows for some flexibility to how your curtains can be hung. The pencil pleats need to be pulled into position to form the perfect pleats.
We recommend a 3" length for short pencil pleat curtains and a longer 6" length for full length curtains.
Pinch pleat
Pinch pleats have a luxurious and decorative feel. Pinch pleats are fuller and use more fabric than ordinary pencil pleats as they feature permanently sewn in pleats to achieve a tailored look.
Pinch pleats are suitable for both tracks and poles.
