Drapery Guide

Heading Style Options

Ripple Fold

A clean and elegant style that is highly favored by interior designers and architects. It comes in different fabric fullness options, allowing for a compact stack back when wall space beside the window is limited. This style glides smoothly along channel tracks—whether simple curtain tracks or decorative rods

Grommet Pleat

This pleat style, which uses metal eyelet rings, is best suited for decorative side panels rather than full operating drapery. The rings don’t slide smoothly across wide windows, but they provide a cost-effective way to frame and accent a window.

Goblet Pleat

Goblet pleats, formed with three folds that create a goblet-like shape, are ideal for fixed panels since movement can cause them to lose their form. They may be installed on a pole with rings or on a track, though rings can add extra bulk

Pinch Pleat

Pinch pleats form a fan-like shape by folding the fabric into two to three measured pleats that are stitched securely at the base. This classic heading style can be mounted on a track system or hung using hooks

Tailored Pleat  

Similar to pinch pleats but with a more transitional feel between modern and classic styles, tailored pleats are pinched just above the fold to create structure before the fabric gently opens for a relaxed, refined look  

Inverted Box Pleat  

Inverted box pleats offer a simple yet elegant look. By hiding the pleats inside the curtain, they create clean vertical lines and maintain a smooth, streamlined top for a refined appearance.
