PINCH PLEAT HEADING

Pinch Pleating provides a more formal look. Pinch Pleated curtains hang beautifully due to the sewn pleats controlling the folds. It is essential to give the correct finished width of the curtain taking care to include any centre overlap or return to wall on your existing track.

PENCIL PLEAT HEADING

A 7.5 cm wide tape is used allowing 3 hook positions giving either a 2.5 cm, 1.5 cm or 0.6 cm heading above the hook. By selecting the appropriate hook position, the curtain rail can either be covered or left in view. Upon receiving your curtains simply pull on the strings to gather your drapes to the correct width. Loosening or tightening the Pencil Pleat Tape can hide any minor incorrect measurement.

Determine if your Express Curtains will hang from a decorative pole or rod or alternatively, from tracking. You should always ensure that new or existing tracks and poles extend well past the window to enable the curtains to be drawn well open.
