Double pinch pleat curtains have small groups of pleats separated by flat sections of fabric, pinch pleat curtain hooks are used at each pleat, so the curtains are suspended by the pleats with flat fabric between. Pinch pleats give a more formal look and the curtains tend to hang in uniform folds. The pinch pleat heading can also be made with triple pleats to create a very full more traditional looking curtain if preferred, this will require more fabric as a 2.5 x fabric fulness is recommended.
This heading looks best when hung beneath a curtain pole, however, can be used on a track also. If you are using on a track we would recommend one of the Silent Gliss tracks that use the break system so the curtains don’t spring back when open.
It is important to carefully measure your track or pole as curtains are made to an exact fit.
Why Choose Double Pinch Pleat Curtains?
- Can be used on tracks or poles but looks best on poles
- Versatile – Can be used under pelmets and valances but looks best on their own
- Suitable for most styles of fabric
- Suitable for all curtain widths and room heights
- Very well suited to both modern and traditional homes
- Can be made into a long continuous curtain when using ‘Wide Width’ fabrics so there are no joins in your curtains.
- Hanging height is fixed by the position of the pins located in the back of the pleats.
Please note that the size and spacing of the pleats will vary slightly from the picture, depending on your pole/track width as all pinch pleat curtains are pleated by hand specifically to fit your requirements.
When used with amotorised trackthere will always be a flat section of curtain (in between the pleats) that will cover the motor and the position of the last pin might need adjusting depending on the size of the pleats.
