Pencil Pleat
Pencil Pleat Curtain
These are the most common form of pleats and heading tape used.
The tape forms crisp even upright parallel pleats (like a row of pencils).
The pencil pleat curtain requires 2 ¼ – 2 ½ times curtain fullness.
The curtain has two rows of suspension pockets and can be used with track or pole fixtures.
The pencil pleat is neat and tidy and creates a full curtain, with the fabric quantities required.
The pencil pleat hangs uniformly and can be used with varying lengths of curtains.
It is not recommended to use as a valance heading, as the simplicity of the pencil pleat combined with a very short curtain looks rather odd.
The pencil pleat curtain is used under valances and pelmets, as the design is simple, these valance and pelmet are the decorative elements which “jazz” up the simple neatness of the pencil pleat curtain under.
