The curtain header or heading is the area at the top of the curtain which attaches to the rod or track. There are a range of header styles to choose from and each one will change the look of the curtains dramatically, as well as influencing the type of track or rod that is needed.
Double pinch pleat - A traditional header style characterised by 2 pleats at the front, it provides a good level of fullness and stacks back neatly.
Reverse pleat (box pleat) - A classic header style characterised by uniformed flat folds providing a traditional elegant look
Gathered (pencil pleat) - Small pencil sized pleats which can be made to to achieve different levels of fullness. A simpler, less decorative header style, it is often used on a blockout or dimout fabric behind sheers.
Wave - A contemporary wave style providing a simple clean line and particularly lends itself well to sheers and synthetic fabrics.
