Pinch pleat curtains
a timeless look !

"Pinch pleat curtains for a timeless look."

They can look traditional or contemporary depending on the choice of fabric and trims, for that special look.

Why are they called "Pinch pleat"

They are called this because the heading is pinched together into 2 or 3 pleats. The curtains in the image are made with a buckram header( a 20cm wide strip of cardboard like fabric ). This makes the top of the curtain rigid allowing the pleats to keep their shape.

This style of curtain looks really neat and stylish. The pinch heading makes the curtain fall naturally into its pleats keeping them looking neat and uniform. Click on image for larger picture
