Curtain Buying Guide

When deciding on new curtains for your room, there are many factors to consider such as style, fabric, pattern and colour.

What curtains do I need for poles?

Tab top
A simple yet sophisticated style for static curtains that don’t need to be opened or closed regularly, tab tops are hung on evenly spaced loops sewn onto the header.

---

Slot top
Easy to maintain and perfect for static or net curtains. With slot top curtains, the curtain pole slides straight directly through the fabric.

---

Eyelet
Fixed through holes in the top border, eyelets create a wave-like effect and a soft, loose fold ideal for contemporary rooms. Eyelets come in different finishes to co-ordinate with your chosen fabrics.

---

Cartridge
Stitched into the top of the curtain, cartridges create structure and form for the ultimate in defined folds and are particularly recommended for large, bold patterns.

---

What curtains do I need for tracks?

Pencil pleat
With pencil width gathers at the head of the curtain, this style is perfect for heavier fabrics. Tight gathers to form informal narrow pleats.

---

Pinch pleat
A sewn in double (sometimes triple) formal, pleat on the header allows the curtain to fall in deep folds and gives a fuller effect than pencil pleats.

---

Gathered
An affordable option requiring less fabric, gathered curtains have a relaxed, unstructured look as the heading tape can be tightened to your required width.

---

Wave
A simple, smooth and elegant way of hanging curtains to create deep folds, ideal for lighter fabrics.

Roman Blinds in Finchley

Almost all the fabrics we offer are available for Roman Blinds.  You can expect the same high standards of workmanship and care whatever we make for you. Here are just some of the roman blind designs we can create for you:

Waterfall Roman

The waterfall effect shows more visible folds when the blind is up.  The larger stack means more of your window will be obscured by folds than with the standard Roman Blind design where all folds are hidden behind the top fold.

Reverse of Roman

Look at the beautiful finish on this blind.  Our Reverse of Roman blinds are legally compliant with inbuilt safety mechanisms, so will release when 5 kg of weight is applied.

Track System

A great option for extra wide blinds, the continuous chain is the usual options for this system.  With our track system Roman Blinds, the end of the chain will be at least 1.5 m off  the floor, and will be secured to your wall with a tensioner.
