Pencil Pleat 

Pencil pleat curtains are a classic option that offer a traditional, sophisticated look. They are made up of small, closely spaced gathers that are sewn into the header tape at the top of the curtain. This type of heading is suitable for most types of tracks and poles and are easy to hang, making them a popular choice for many homes. 

Eyelet

Eyelet curtains are a more modern take on the traditional pencil pleat, offering a sleek, contemporary look. They are characterised by metal rings that are sewn into the header tape at the top of the curtain. These curtains hang easily from an eyelet pole, making them a great option for anyone looking for an easy-to-hang, stylish curtain solution.


Pinch Pleat 

 Pinch pleats are a timeless and elegant option that are versatile and well suited to both traditional and modern interiors. They are made up of gathers along the header tape that are then pinched together, creating a neat and sophisticated look. Pinch pleats are best suited to larger windows, but can also be used on smaller windows to create a dramatic, statement look.
