A Guide To Different Curtain Headers
The Different Types of Curtain Headers
If you're looking for something to finish off your rooms or windows decor then curtains are usually a stunning choice, they often turn simple spaces into something a little bit more and are the perfect finishing touch in most cases. You may not think so but when it comes to curtains there is so much variety available whether it be pencil pleats, eyelets or pinch pleats. Curtains are chosen for many different reasons so in this guide we’re going to look at a few different types of curtain available.
Pencil Pleat
Here at Tailors 4 Blinds pencil pleats are one of the most popular curtains available simply because they look stunning and are cost efficient and can be used in most places around the home ornaments workspace. Pencil pleats curtains are usually made up of three rows of spring threaded through three hook pockets the hooks tend to be metal or plastic, and can be placed in 1 of 3 pockets depending if you want them to look underslung or have the track covered. Pencil pleat curtains are made to comment on any curtain pole and are usually most common for those opting for a pelmet.
Pinch Pleat
Pinch pleat curtains are another hugely popular option for people and are built to work with a curtain pole or track. We think pinch pleats are a little more bespoke and give off a more gathered effect than any other design. We think these are a great option for anywhere around your home as they look stylish, and they look stunning drawn back or closed.
Eyelets
It’s important to note that eyelet curtains only work with poles and are not suitable for tracks, they got their name eyelets because of the large metal ring placed at the top of the curtain, if you want a neater finish the eyelets can be matched to your chosen pole. Eyelet curtains are a great addition to almost any home or workspace simply because they are easy to hang and give off a styling yet simple look.
Wave Headings
This is popular but not as popular as it should be originally made to run on silent gliss tracks but in recent years things have changed and there is a little more variety. Wave heating and pleats work alongside pretty much the same guidelines except it is not drawn from strings but a glider cord instead this allows for a constant wave effect and looks great whether your curtains are drawn or open. These curtains look great in offices and hotels simply because they look smart and feel a little more tailored.
Anti Ligature
Anti ligature curtains have become ever so popular over recent years as they meet all health and safety standards so can be used in any home and any workplace. There are basically curtains with sewn down heatings and the strings are removed, this means headings with no tapes or fixed linings.
