Pencil Pleat curtains are a classic design, which is often associated with traditional interiors. But, there’s no reason they can’t compliment more modern style homes, too. They are often suited to living rooms and bedrooms. They look fabulous with either a plain or patterned design. Pencil Pleat curtains are attached to either a pole or a track. The pleats within the heading can be altered by pulling the cord. You can create a scrunched look by tightening them together or loosening them into a clean-cut look.
3” Tape
3” tape pencil pleat is the standard heading for curtains. A 7.5cm (3”) tape is used with three hook positions to suit all types of tracks and poles. Curtains are supplied ungathered so that you can gather them to the required width. To create an even pleat please ensure the drawcords are pulled equally.
6” Tape
Like 3” tape we offer a deeper pencil pleat heading for curtains using a 15cm (6”) tape. This can be used on all fabric types and is particularly suitable for longer drop curtains.
