Pencil Pleat Curtains: FAQs

What are Pencil Pleat Curtains?

Pencil pleat curtains refer to the standard heading type for curtains. They typically have three rows of string which are threaded through the heading to suit all types of curtain poles and curtain tracks. Pencil pleat curtains get their name from the way the design looks to resemble pencils standing in a row. Due to the way this curtain style suits all curtain tracking types, fitting them is simple which makes them an extremely popular curtain choice. Pencil pleat curtains suit a variety of window styles, can come in a range of lengths and materials. They are ideal for curtains which will be place beneath pelmets or valances as they have a shallow heading.

How to Hang Pencil Pleat Curtains?

The beauty of pencil pleat curtains is that they can be hung from either a track or a pole however if you choose to hang them from a pole you will need curtain rings, unlike eyelet curtains which can be threaded directly onto an eyelet curtain pole. Pencil pleat curtains feature three strings integrated into the header which enable you to attach them to both tracks and rings and gather them to form your desired pleats. Pencil pleat curtains have three height positions which you can insert your hooks to give you a little flexibility on length. Once you have hung your curtains, distribute the pleats evening across the width of the curtains; they may look a little crumpled at first but they will fall in time and look perfect. For design purposes, it is recommended that you use tiebacks to keep the folds in place; you can either purchase tiebacks of your choice or make your own using curtain fabric.

Are Pencil Pleat Curtains Practical?

Being one of the most popular styles of curtains, pencil pleat curtains are both practical in terms of style and cost. They are one of the most cost-effective styles of curtains and are generally pretty easy to maintain. Pencil pleat curtains are available in a variety of fabrics, meaning you can choose the most practical fabric for your needs; for example, blackout curtains for bedrooms and thermal curtains for cooler rooms make practical choices.

How to Choose Pencil Pleat Curtains?

The pencil pleat curtains you choose will depend on a number of things. First of all consider the room you plan to hang the curtains in; for example, if you plan to hang them in a living area you may prefer floor length curtains, in a luxurious material and colour which give you enough privacy. On the other hand, if you are looking to hang pencil pleat curtains in a bedroom you may need a shorter length which fits neatly above a chest of drawers or headboard. You may also want to consider blackout curtains for bedrooms as they offer a great amount of light control, especially for lighter, brighter mornings and evenings.
