What are pencil pleat curtains

The term ‘pencil pleat’ refers to the header of the curtain. Folds of fabric are tightly gathered to create a semi-cylindrical heading that resembles a line of pencils, hence pencil pleat curtain!

From the close pleats of the header, the fabric tumbles freely to the floor. You can choose to hang pencil pleat curtains from either curtain poles or curtain tracks, and they come in two depths to suit different scale rooms.

Windows are responsible for up to 18% of a home's heat loss. Our heat-retaining curtains and blinds can help to reduce this and help keep your home warmer.

All our pencil pleat made to measure curtains are lined as standard, or you can choose a thermal lining for added cosiness. Adding a made-to-measure blind that fits snugly at your windows will further help to stop heat escaping through your windows.

You don’t need to worry about hanging your curtains, as your local advisor will do all the measuring and fitting for you, including fitting your curtain pole or track if you choose one from us.

They will give you expert advice about choosing the right curtain pole or track at your in-home appointment.
