A Beautiful Finish, Made For You

Your heading is the way the top of your curtain is gathered or pleated. It determines how the fabric falls, how your curtains open and the overall feel of your room.

Classic & versatile

Timeless Pencil Pleat

A familiar favourite, with fine, closely gathered folds that create a soft, relaxed finish. Pencil pleats work beautifully in both traditional and contemporary homes.

Soft gathers. Effortless elegance.

Heading tape is sewn to the back of the curtain and drawn together to form neat, pencil-sized pleats. The gathers can be adjusted when hanging, making this a versatile choice for many windows.

Suitable for	Curtain poles and tracks
Options	3 inch (7.5cm) or 6 inch (15cm) heading
Ideal for	A classic look, including bay windows with a suitable track

Simple & contemporary

Elegant Eyelet

Clean lines and broad, even folds give eyelet curtains a beautifully understated appearance. An excellent way to let the colour, texture and pattern of your fabric take centre stage.

A smooth, modern silhouette.

Brass eyelets are set into the top of the fabric and slide directly onto your curtain pole. The fabric falls into generous folds, with a neat stack when the curtains are drawn back.

Suitable for	Curtain poles only
Options	A choice of eyelet colours and sizes
Ideal for	Contemporary interiors and larger-scale patterns

Tailored & refined

Beautifully Tailored Pinch Pleat

Carefully sewn pleats draw the fabric into elegant groups, creating a structured heading and graceful folds below. Choose double or triple pleats to suit the finish you have in mind.

Double Pinch Pleat

Two folds are pinched together in each pleat to create a neat, balanced heading. A tailored finish with a slightly simpler profile, equally at home in classic and contemporary rooms.

Poles & tracks

Triple Pinch Pleat

Three folds are brought together in each pleat for a more decorative, formal finish. The sculpted heading gives your curtains a rich, elegant appearance and a beautifully defined drape.

Poles & tracks

Pinch pleats are sewn into place, so the heading is made to your specified width. Both styles hang from curtain hooks on a pole with rings or a suitable track.

Fluid & understated

Contemporary Wave

A smooth, continuous wave creates a clean and flowing finish, whether your curtains are open or closed. Beautifully suited to modern interiors and wide expanses of glass.

Let your fabric flow.

A wave heading holds the fabric in regular, softly curved folds, with a tidy stack when drawn back. Its simple silhouette gives large-scale prints and textured fabrics room to shine.

Suitable for	A compatible wave track or wave pole system
Options	Continuous, evenly spaced folds
Ideal for	Contemporary spaces and wide windows

A Little Guidance

Can I use any heading on my existing pole or track?

Pencil pleat and pinch pleat curtains work with poles with rings or suitable tracks. Eyelet curtains fit directly onto a pole and cannot be used on a track. Wave headings require a compatible wave system. If you are unsure, our team can help you check your fittings.

What is the difference between double and triple pinch pleats?

Double pinch pleats bring two folds of fabric together in each sewn group; triple pinch pleats bring together three. Double pleats create a simpler tailored profile, while triple pleats offer a more decorative, formal finish.

How should I measure for my curtains?

Start with the width of your installed pole or track, rather than the width of the window. The drop measurement depends on your heading and fittings, so follow our measuring guides before placing your order.
