Pencil Pleat Heading
A popular and versatile type of heading where a standard 10cm deep tape is stitched to the top of the curtain and then by pulling the chords within the tape the material is gathered into rows of neat fluted pleats. This operation is normally done on site just prior to hanging which ensures the material is not creased during transport and it also allows the curtain to be gathered to |

 |
|
|
|
the exact size required. To ensure that when you draw the curtain it hangs fully and does not have a stretched appearance the width of the material used is approximately 2.5 times the width of the actual window.
You can choose from a wide range of fabrics including plains, neutrals, patterns, textures and jacquards so you can create the look you want – this type of heading works equally well with tracking and poles and with traditional or modern styles.

Pinch Pleat
Another popular heading which gives a more formal and classic appearance. A standard 12.5 cm heading is used and three pleats are pinched together to form a fanned pleat and where the material is flat between flutes. This arrangement creates elegant folds in the material so the curtain hangs beautifully. The heading is made specifically for the length of the curtain track or pole so |

 |
|
it is vital that everything is measured accurately. Again the material used is approximately 2.5 times the width of the actual window.

Eyelets
This is where an eyelet (4 cm diameter) is fitted within the heading of the curtain through which the pole is placed. This is ideal if you prefer to use poles rather than tracks and you are trying to achieve a more contemporary look to your room. The eyelets can be in a variety of colours including black, gold and satinised silver so that they tone in with the colours of the fabric.
