3 inch pencil pleat is the classic heading used on curtains and is compatible with both tracks and poles. This heading gives a fullness of approximately double the rail width.
Based on the rail size you have entered we would recommend widths of fabric in each curtain.
The finished width of the curtain is adjustable rather than exact and each curtain is drawn to the correct width before hanging.
For tracks the curtain hooks will need to be inserted in the middle or bottom row of pockets on the curtain tape and for poles in the top row of pockets on the curtain tape.
Curtains with an eyelet heading are only suitable for use on curtain and preferably metal ones to avoid wear and tear by the eyelets.
We require the finished length to be supplied from the top of the pole, and the curtain will be made slightly longer then this to accommodate the additional 4cm (approx.) which sits above the pole.
Based on the length of the pole you have provided, we would recommend widths of fabric in each curtain.
The eyelets are approximately 40mm in diameter, and are suitable for curtain poles up to 30mm in diameter. Please be aware that you require at least 5cm clearance above your pole to allow for the upstand of the heading above the pole.
This eyelet heading is constructed by punched metal eyelets into a lightly stiffened curtain heading. They are placed at regular intervals and in an even number, across the top edge of the curtain. They create wide folds of fabric which fall into soft columns, rather than tight gathered or a hand tailored heading. Eyelets are particularly good as a curtain that “stacks back”, meaning when open each curtain will fold back tightly either side of the window. This is a good feature if you are limited by space or simply like lots of light in the room.
3 inch double pinch pleat heading is hand-tailored to an exact finished width which is not adjustable and which only fits the window it has been customised for. This heading gives a fullness of approximately 2.2 times the rail width.
Based on the rail size you have given, we would recommend widths per curtain.
This type of heading works best on a curtain pole and is not suitable for use with curtain tracks.
The curtain heading contains robust stiffening which is used to crisp folds, grouped in pairs, which are pinched together at the base of the stiffening to form fan shaped pleats.
Special hooks called stab hooks are inserted into the back of each pleat to facilitate hanging (these are supplied with your curtains). These are usually adjustable and offer a small degree of adjustment on the finished length, but it is important to measure the pole width accurately for this kind of heading.
If you have choosen eyelet as your heading type then you can also select the eyelet colour. Most curtains come with a number of different options.
Please note eyelet curtain rings can only be used on a curtain pole with a maximum diameter of 30mm - we would recommend a 28mm metal pole.
Standard - This lightweight polyester and cotton blend is predominantly used to line lightweight cotton, polycotton and voile curtains. It gives structure and a nice drape to curtains, provides some protection from sun damage and provides a degree of privacy to sheer fabrics.
Premium - This medium weight polycotton-sateen lining has a soft-sheen twill finish, is more crease-resistant and is usually used to line medium to heavyweight curtains. It gives good structure and drape to curtains without adding too much weight; and provides better protection from sun damage.
Blackout - This is a thicker, heavier, tightly woven lining. The reverse is coated with a thin layer of foam that fills the fabric weave, preventing light penetration. Blackout lining can offer some thermal/insulating properties, but its primary function is to block light. It is usually cream or white and is ideal for bedrooms.
Thermal - The reverse of this lining is coated with a thin layer of aluminum or acrylic foam. This provides thermal qualities that can retain heat and reduce energy bills. It can also deflect heat to keep rooms cooler. Thermal lining can help to dampen sound and offers some blackout protection, but its primary function is to insulate.
Eyelet curtains - Measure from the top of the pole to the required finished length. We will then allow a small amount on the top of this length to account for the fabric that sits over the top of the pole (upstand).
Pencil pleat on a pole - When hung on a pole measuring from the bottom of the curtain ring to the fininshed length position, either sil length, below sil, or floor length.
Pencil pleat on a track - When hung on a track measure from the top of the track to the fininshed length position, either sil length, below sil, or floor length.

The correct measurement method for your curtains varies depending upon the heading type that you choose. Please select the heading type below and this will direct you to the appropriate measuring advice:
Note: For eyelet curtains you will need to hang your curtains on a pole.
Measure the full width of the pole between, but not including, the finials and add 2.5-3 cm to the measurement for ease and overlap.
You should measure from the top of the pole to the required finished length, we will then allow a small amount on the top of this length to account for the fabric that sits over the top of the pole.
- For Sill Length - 1.5cm above the sill
- Below Sill Length - 15-25cm below the sill
- For Sill Length - 1.5cm from the floor
Curtain Poles - Measure the full width of the pole between, but not including, the finials and add 2.5-3 cm to the measurement for ease and overlap.
Curtain Tracks - Measure the full width of the track from end to end. If the track is in two overlapping pieces; measure both tracks separately and add the two measurements together.
If being hung on a pole measure from the bottom of the curtain rings, to the required finished length.
On a track measure from the top of the track to the required finished length.
- For Sill Length - 1.5cm above the sill
- Below Sill Length - 15-25cm below the sill
- For Sill Length - 1.5cm from the floor
Note: For pinch pleat curtains you will need to hang your curtains on a pole.
Measure the full width of the pole between, but not including, the finials and add 2.5-3 cm to the measurement for ease and overlap.
On a pole they will hang beneath the pole, so measure from the bottom of the curtain rings to the required finished length.
- For Sill Length - 1.5cm above the sill
- Below Sill Length - 15-25cm below the sill
- For Sill Length - 1.5cm from the floor

When you select blackout lining and position this product in front of a window it will blackout all sunlight. This makes it ideal for any room that is exposed to a lot of direct sunlight or ambient light (such as streetlights).
Please Note: A fully blackout effect can only be achieved when fitted outside of a window recess (as to fully obscure the window). When fitted within a recess, light may seep through any gaps that have not been fully covered.

Our range of made to measure curtains will be made exactly to your requirements, using the very best fabrics and linings. They are manufactured to a high standard, and are backed up by our 12 month guarantee on all our curtains against all manufacturing defects.
Eyelet Heading - Eyelet headings can only be used with curtain poles, and there is a choice of eyelet colours available to help you match the curtains to your room. Eyelet curtains take up very little room each side of the window, and this allows the maximum amount of light through your window. You also need slightly less fullness in eyelet curtains so they work very well for smaller windows. However, its best to avoid vertical striped patterns as they can look a little strange when opened.
Pencil Pleat Heading - Pencil pleat curtains can be fitted to tracks or poles, and so curtains with this heading are the most versatile. This heading will work in any room style, and particularly well in traditional settings with a more traditional fabric design.
The main reason curtains are lined is that it prevents the curtains from fading, and also adds some “body” to the curtains.
Polycotton Lining - The benefits of a polycotton lining is that because of the polyester content, the lining fabric has a good resistance to sunlight, and will last much longer that 100% cotton linings when exposed to the sun.
Blackout Lining - This is our favourite lining, as it offers basic thermal properties. It stops the sun heating up your room if you have large windows, and on sunny days you can draw the curtains to help with a little temperature control. It also stops light passing through the fabric of the curtains, and so in the summer months, you get the full look of the fabric, rather than a “bleached out” look due to sunlight.
Thermal Lining - Thermal linings do exactly what they say. They have many of the properties of a normal lining in terms of touch and feel, and are not as stiff as blackout linings, and help with thermal characteristics. Thermal linings are particularly helpful with drafty front doors and older wooden windows.
