Heading Styles

Which curtain heading style should I choose?

Curtain heading designs assist in defining rooms. The following heading styles are available.

Ripplefold

  • Creates a modern, sleek look. 
  • Ripples always stay in shape when sliding
  • Only works with ripple fold tracks and carriers. Tracks and hardware can be purchased in our ripple fold ordering page

Grommet

  • It is a popular choice for contemporary space
  • Grommets come in silver, antique bronze, gunmetal and black. The inner diameter of all the Grommets is 1.5", which will fit on a rod with a diameter of 1.3" or less. If you need a 2" diameter Grommet, we only have it in the Silver color and it is not available all the time, please email us for availability.
  • No other accessories needed. Easy to install on curtain rods. 

Tailored Pleat

  • A modern, casual take on the traditional French pleat
  • Double Tailored Pleat is constructed with two times the fabric of the panel width. Triple Tailored Pleat is constructed with two-and-a-half times the fabric of the panel width. The panel width should be the same as the coverage width.
  • Default 2" return and 2" overlap, contact us if you would like a custom return or overlap width.
  • Hooks are attached to the back of the panel before shipping

Rod Pocket: Tape/Flat Ring Top

  • It offers a casual, simplistic, and versatile look.
  • It can be clipped or hooked into rings, the tape is 3" in height
  • If you would like to slip curtains over the rod, we recommend the Rod pocket - Fold Over style.
  • It can be hung flat or made into pleats
  • It is lined on top to create a clean tailored look
  • It is designed without added fullness. Multiply your window width by 1.5-2.5 to create the fullness you desire.

Rod Pocket: Fold Over

The fold-over style rod pocket is simply folding the same fabric over to create the pocket, available in 3", 4" and 5" opening options. Rod pocket fold-over style offers a casual look. It is a perfect choice for the sheer layer in a double layer curtain setup. It is not recommended for every day sliding, especially for non-sheer thicker fabrics. 

  • For a rod 1.5" in diameter, we recommend a 4" pocket opening.
  • For a rod 2" in diameter, we recommend a 5" pocket opening.
