Pencil pleats are a classic curtain heading style, named for their resemblance to a row of neatly aligned pencils. The pleats are tightly gathered to create a uniform, elegant look that suits both traditional and contemporary interiors.
One of the key benefits of pencil pleats is their ability to be adjusted. The gathering can be loosened or tightened to fit your window perfectly, giving you control over fullness and drape. This makes them ideal for achieving a custom look without the need for bespoke tailoring.
If you’re after a timeless, flexible, and stylish curtain solution, pencil pleats are a smart and elegant choice.
S-fold, also known as wave pleats, are a modern curtain heading style that creates a smooth, continuous wave-like effect across the top of the curtain. The name comes from the way the fabric naturally forms soft S-shaped curves when hung from a specially designed track or pole system.
Unlike traditional pleats that are stitched into place, S-fold curtains rely on evenly spaced gliders to maintain their shape. This gives them a relaxed, flowing appearance that’s perfect for contemporary interiors. The result is a clean, architectural look with consistent folds from top to bottom with no bunching
S-fold pleats are ideal for showcasing beautiful sheer fabrics, especially those with subtle textures or patterns. The wave effect adds movement and softness to a space, making it feel more open and inviting. They are elegant and easy to operate and maintain.
Pinch pleats are a timeless curtain heading style, named for the way fabric is “pinched” together at the top to form elegant folds. These pleats create a structured, uniform look that flows beautifully down the length of the curtain, adding a sense of refinement to any room.
Pinch pleats work well with a wide range of fabrics, from light linens to rich velvets, and suit both traditional and modern interiors. The pleats maintain their shape whether the curtains are drawn open or closed, offering a consistently polished appearance.
