| | Pencil Pleat | | | | |  | Pencil pleats are so called because of the narrow pencil-like vertical folds that appear when the tape is pulled. Our pencil pleat tapes are usually 3 inches deep although we also stock other kinds that are deeper.
| | | | | | Pinch Pleat | | | | Double Pinch Pleat | | | | | | |  | | This type of heading appears as a row of hand-sewn pleats in groups of two or three separated by flat areas. The entire fabric is stiffened with thick fabric before the pleating is done. This ensures that the heading remains neat. | | | | | | | | | | | | Triple Pinch Pleat | | | | | | |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Goblet Pleat | | | | | | |  | | These are formed in a similar way to pinch pleats but instead of making a fold at the top only the bottom is secured, thus forming a short cup. The cup is then filled with synthetic fibres of either the same colour or contrasting colours. | | | | | | | | | | | | Tab Top | | | | | | |  | | This is an informal heading style and mainly suitable for dress curtains as they are difficult to open and close. | | | | | | | | | | | | Eyelet | | | | | | |  | | Eyelet heading gives a contemporary look and requires less material. The curtain stacks back very efficiently but the downside is that when they are drawn it doesn’t give as full a look as other heading styles. | | |
