| Description |
Metal rings are threaded directly onto the pole so the curtain hangs in soft, even folds. |
The heading is sewn to create uniform, sculptural waves that run the full width of the track. |
Three folds are grouped at the top of the curtain to create a full, tailored appearance. |
A structured pleat is finished with a padded goblet shape at the top for a formal, decorative look. |
A versatile gathered tape is pulled to the required fullness and hooks onto the track or pole. |
Two folds are grouped at the top for a neat, tailored look with less fullness than triple pleat. |
Pinches are sewn at the top of the curtain to create defined, tailored folds. |
A neat cartridge of fabric is formed at the top for a crisp, tailored finish with even spacing. |
