One of the most widely used and recognised curtain styles.

Pinch Pleat Curtains:

This style gives a more luxurious look to the curtains and makes a real statement.
The triple pinch pleats are sewn into the curtain heading and fixed into position.
Adjustable curtain hooks are sewn into each pleat. This enables the curtains to be hung in the correct position with ease and accuracy.

There are approximately 4-6 pleats to a width but the exact number depends on the width of the fabric, the design and the width of the rail.

Tab Top Curtains:

 

This is a simple yet effective curtain style which gives a contemporary, castellated look.
The tabs are evenly spaced across the width of the curtain.
There are 8 tabs per width of fabric (one width is approximately 130cm to 140cm depending on fabric selected).
Tabs are 6.3cm wide and 10cm long.

Curtain Linings:

In order to give your curtains the best appearance we recommend that you have them lined. They will hang better and the lining also gives them better protection from the sunlight and insulation in winter.

Curtains are bag lined (ie sewn into the curtain along the heading and down both sides)

We offer 4 types of lining:
•    Poly cotton Lining – a polyester and cotton mix lining. (Ivory)
•    Cotton Sateen Lining – 100% cotton lining. (white or oyster we match to the main fabric selected)
•    Blackout Lining – 3 pass blackout lining, highly recommended for fabrics with an uneven finish. Also helps to stop light from filtering through the fabric. (white or ivory we match to the main fabric selected)
•    Interlining (Bonded bump)– recommended for light fabrics such as faux silks as it helps to give the fabrics an improved appearance and heavier handle when the curtains are hung.

Roman Blinds:

All our roman blinds are fully lined with ecru lining. Black out lining is also available.

All blinds are supplied with controls on the right as standard, this can however also be supplied on the left if requested.

All blinds are supplied with Sewn in metal rods

No stitching appears on the face of the blind giving it a neat appearance.

They are fitted to an aluminium head rail with universal fixing brackets for top or face fitting.

Blinds are provided with a side winder chain mechanism in gold, silver or white.
