PENCIL PLEAT curtains have a special gathering tape at the top of the curtain, and when gathered, it resembles a row of pencils laid side by side.
The pleats are created by pulling the cords on the gathering tape at the top of the curtain and tying off the ends of the cord.
Pencil Pleat curtains can be hung on either tracks or poles (pictured here on a pole).
The other option is an EYELET CURTAIN which has a row of metal eyelets instead of gathering tape. The effect is a softer, wider fold. Eyelet curtains can only be hung on poles. Click here to see our range of EYELET CUSTOM CURTAINS.
