FAQs
How do I measure for pencil pleat curtains?
To ensure a perfect fit, measure the entire width of your track or the distance between the decorative finials on your pole (not including them).
For a luxurious gathered look, your curtains should be at least twice the width of your window.
For the drop, measure from the top of your track or just below your curtain rings down to where you want the curtains to finish - typically either windowsill, below radiator height, or floor length.
How do I hang pencil pleat curtains?
Getting that professional look is simple! All you have to do is:
- Lay your curtains flat and pull the gathering cords evenly
- Secure the cords once you've achieved your desired fullness
- Distribute the pleats evenly across the width
- Insert hooks into the header tape pockets
- Hang the curtains by attaching the hooks to your track or rings
Unlike ring top curtains, pencil pleat styles give you the flexibility to adjust how high they hang from your pole or track, making them perfect for avoiding radiators or furniture.
