Curtain heading styles

Pencil pleat
positioning of track or pole

These are folds gathered closely together to resemble a row of pencils laid side-by-side. They are created by pulling the cords on the heading tape and winding them around a cord tidy to keep the pleats in place. The width of pencil pleat curtains can be altered with the draw cord.

Double and triple pinch pleat
Double and triple pinch pleat

These curtains are suitable for tracks or poles, and feature gathered fabric with permanently sewn pinches along the header of the curtain. The double or triple pinches use more fabric than a pencil pleat, so therefore creating a fuller curtain. This type of curtain will only fit the window it has been measured for because the width is pre-set.

Eyelet
decide on the drop of the curtain

These are suitable only for curtain poles and have a row of eyelets, usually metal, which are 40mm in diameter. They give a much softer, wider fold.

Eyelets are available in a range of different sizes and finishes in store through our Bespoke made-to-measure service.

How to measure for eyelet curtains

Positioning of your pole
positioning of track or pole
  • Choose whether you want your curtain to hang from a track or a pole
  • Position your track or pole 15cm above your window with 15-20cm either side
  • Always fit the track or pole before taking measurements for curtains
  • Curtain measurements should be the width of the track or pole so they can be drawn right back, unless the window fits wall-to-wall

To be sure of the best possible fit, we suggest using a metal tape measure for accuracy.
Measuring the width and the drop

Measuring the width

decide on the width of the curtain
  • Measure the total width of the pole (excluding the finials at the ends)
  • Only measure the window if it’s wall-to-wall

Measuring the drop

decide on the drop of the curtain

Please note: we will allow for hems, turnings and heading height so there is no need to incorporate this in your total measurement.

Before measuring the drop, decide where you want your curtains to fall.

  • Drop to sill – finish 1cm above the sill
  • Drop below sill – finish 10-15cm below, depending on radiator obstructions
  • Drop to floor – finish 1cm from the floor

If you want your curtains to drape and gather on the floor, add 10-15cm to the drop to create this effect

Measure the drop in 3 places across the pole as floors and sills may be uneven; use the shortest of these 3 measurements.
