5 Curtain Header Options
While curtains have always remained a preferred choice for home decoration, the varying designs and types of curtains available intrigue many. There are so many varieties, shapes, colours and sizes that one can easily get confused. However, there are some styles that transcend the differences in cuts and styles.
Curtain headers play the crucial role in supporting the whole drape. There are various techniques and styles of making these curtain headers. Following are top five header options that are in vogue and look equally good for all types of fabrics and curtain types.
Standard header
This type of curtain header is the most common and almost two-thirds of people prefer it for its simple design. The header consist of one inch tape that is sewn together to make a sharp and thin header. It does give a narrow look, but the curtain remains strong and can be easily hanged on a curtain rod. Standard header is good for all curtain types whether they are of strong cotton fabric or a softer net curtain.
Pencil pleat header
Pencil pleats are used in the absence of a valance. They are also used when there is no possibility of adding a pelmet. As the name suggests, pencil pleats does not look thick or overbearing. They are small and narrow in shape and can be used to arrange larger pieces of clothes into curtains - as big as three times the size of a door or window.
French pleat
French pleat is an extension of pencil pleats, but with some modified features. First, it is used for extremely heavy fabrics like velvet. The heavy fabric makes it an almost impossible task to have a nice and folded draping if one goes for the standard pleats. Pencil pleats do improve the situation, but still are unable to support the heavy weight of a curtain. Only French pleat, with its comprehensive design, can help a heavy curtain to be easily draped with regular folds and nice features.
Slot pleat
Slot pleat is another type of curtain header that does not require a lot of maneuvering. The basic concept behind slot pleats is to pass the hanging pole through it with an ease. The curtains are then draped over any window or door and bear a simple look. Slot pleats are created in the curtain by cutting slots through a casing of header tapes to make space for the hanging rod. A little amount of curtain can be placed over these slot pleats to give a more beautiful look.
Cartridge pleat
Cartridge pleat is introduced into a curtain by inserting tissue papers or a small piece of polyester at the upper portion of the pleat. This way, the curtain retains its shape for longer periods and looks very stern. Cartridge pleating is used extensively in those places that see many guests, like guest rooms or drawing rooms. However, the more formal looking cartridge pleats are not recommended for living rooms and other casual places.
