Why Choose Pencil Pleat Curtains?
Pencil-pleat curtains use a gathered header tape, so they hang from hooks on a track or from rings on a pole. That makes them more flexible than eyelet curtains, which only work on a pole. If you're not sure whether you'll switch to a pole later, or your room already has a track fitted, a pencil pleat keeps that option open.
The tape is gathered using cords sewn into the header. Once the desired fullness is achieved, the cords are typically secured to maintain the pleats.
Available Sizes of Ready-Made Curtains
Our pencil-pleat curtains come in standard UK widths and drops, from 46x54 inches up to 90x90 inches, depending on the design. These standard sizes suit most windows and provide a convenient, ready-made solution without the lead time of made-to-measure curtains. If you need a more precise fit for bay windows, unusually sized windows, or other non-standard openings, our made-to-measure curtain service offers a tailored solution. Made-to-measure lead times depend on fabric availability and the relevant production timeframe.
