PORTOFINO GRAPHITE Plain Velvet Fabric

Deep Pencil Pleat

Made up of small individual pleats, our deep pencil pleat headings deliver a smart, classic finish. Consisting of tightly gathered folds, the curtain can be pulled to the desired width. This heading is suited for curtains of all lengths, whether finishing just below a sill, just above the floor or pooling. When fitted close to the wall on a track or from floor to ceiling, these curtains also offer a great blackout effect. Due to the fabric being ruched against itself, curtains with pencil pleat headings will take up more space than other headings when stacked back. Deep pencil pleat curtains can be hung on any type of curtain track or pole, including on a curtain track in a bay window.

Double and Triple Pinch Pleat

Comprised of hand-sewn pleats which gather the curtain fabric into neat folds, pinch pleat headings present a sophisticated, elegant look.

We offer two variations of the pinch pleat; double pinch pleat and triple pinch pleat.

The choice between double and triple pinch pleat comes down to personal preference, with triple using more fabric but delivering an even fuller drape.

Pinch pleat headings offer good stack back too, with the concertina action of the pleats meaning that the curtains do not take up to much space when pulled back. However, as the fabric between the pleats does fold back, curtains with this heading must be installed on a pole or track with good clearance from the wall.

Both double and triple pencil pleat curtains can be hung on any type of curtain track or pole.
