Our Pinch Pleat Curtain Range

Single vs Double Pinch Pleat Curtains

Pinch pleat curtains are available in single and double pinch pleat curtain configurations. A single pinch pleat gathers two folds of fabric into each pleat point, creating a fuller, more relaxed drape. A double pinch pleat gathers three folds per pleat, producing a tighter, more structured pleat with greater fabric density and a more formal appearance. Our consultants will help you select the right pleat configuration for your fabric weight and room style.

Pinch Pleat Sheer Curtains

Our pinch pleat sheer curtains combine the classic pinch pleat heading with lightweight, translucent sheer fabric to create a look that is both traditional in structure and light and airy in feel. Popular for formal living areas and dining rooms where softness and daylight are desired alongside the structured aesthetic of a pinch pleat curtain. Available in all standard sheer fabric types and colours.

Blockout Pinch Pleat Curtains with Decorative Fabric

Our blockout pinch pleat curtains with decorative outer fabric follow the same approach as our blockout lining range: any decorative fabric from our range applied as the face, backed with a full blockout interlining.
