Wave curtains
A clean, modern heading with smooth, consistent folds. Wave can work particularly well on wide windows and contemporary interiors where the curtain needs to feel calm and architectural.
Curtain design
Curtain headings and pleat styles
The heading changes the structure, fullness, movement and overall character of a curtain. We choose it alongside the fabric, track, window shape and the way the finished room should feel.
Double pinch pleat
A structured, tailored heading with a more formal and luxurious feel. It gives the top of the curtain a defined shape and is often chosen for refined interiors.
Pencil pleat
A flexible traditional heading that can suit many homes and both standard and shaped curtain projects. Its gathered appearance gives a softer, more familiar finish.
Single pleat
A neat tailored heading that sits between minimal and formal. It can give a refined result without the stronger visual weight of a fuller pinch pleat.
Common questions
Which curtain heading is best?
There is no single best heading. The right choice depends on the room, track or pole, fabric weight, required fullness, window shape and the finished look you want.
Does the heading affect how much fabric is used?
Yes. Heading choice and fullness are linked, so the design stage should consider both together before the curtains are made.
Can wave curtains be used on large or shaped windows?
They can be suitable where the track system, room and curtain design support a wave heading. For shaped windows, the heading and track need to be planned as one system.
Does the curtain track affect heading choice?
Yes. Heading style, runners or gliders, track route and the way the curtain opens all need to be compatible.
