Headings

If you decide to have some curtains made by myself I will need to know what type of heading you would like, and there are many to choose from.

Pencil Pleat

This is the standard curtain heading and gives a nice gathered effect.

Pinch Pleat

Pinch pleat curtains hang in columns and will emphasise the height of your room. They can be double or triple pleat, the choice may depend on the width of curtain fabric.

Goblet

This type of heading gets its name from the pleat which is shaped like a wine goblet.

Tab top

Tabs are attached to the top of the curtains which loop round the curtain pole to give a stylish look. The tabs can be made out of the same fabric as the curtains or a contrasting fabric.

Concealed tab top

With this heading the tabs are attached behind the fabric giving a very neat streamlined finish.

Eyelet

Metal or plastic eyelets are pressed onto the fabric which are then threaded over the pole. This type of heading allows the curtains to hang in neatly defined folds, creating a sleek and streamlined look. The actual eyelets come in a range of metallic finishes and colours. I can source these for you.

Tie

Ties are attached to the top of the curtains to be tied around the pole. This gives curtains quite an informal look.

If you would like any advice on the best type of heading I would be happy to help.
