Single Pleat Curtains
Crisp, tailored and effortlessly balanced – a contemporary update on a classic curtain style.
Simple, Structured Style
A modern take on classic curtain tailoring, the single pleat offers a clean, understated finish that suits both plain and patterned fabrics.
Requiring just 60–70% fullness, it’s one of the more economical heading styles—ideal for large windows or spaces with limited space to stack back the open curtains.
Single Pleat can also be made with a little more fullness and a larger pleat which has a dacron fill inserted – creating an elegant rounded effect.
With its minimal appearance, it delivers a casual form and flow and can be customised with 150mm deep buckram for a more structured, elongated look. Suitable for both rods and tracks, it’s a versatile option for contemporary interiors.
How to Choose the Right Heading Style
Choosing the right curtain heading isn’t just about aesthetics—it influences how your curtains sit, move, and interact with your space. While many fabrics are versatile across styles, a few thoughtful decisions will help ensure the finish is just right.
Visual Aesthetic & Style
The heading style plays a key role in the overall look of your curtains. Whether you prefer a clean, modern finish or something more decorative and full, the heading helps define how the curtains sit and complement the surrounding space.
Fullness & Fabric Volume
Fullness refers to how much fabric is used to create the body and shape of your curtains. It influences both the way they drape and the final finish—whether softly gathered or more tailored. Some styles and spaces suit a more generous, voluminous look, while others benefit from a sleeker, more understated effect. Choosing the right fullness helps ensure your curtains feel in harmony with the scale and style of your interior.
Track or Rod Compatibility
Certain heading styles are better suited to specific hardware—like decorative rods, S-fold tracks, or concealed systems. The style you choose may depend on whether you want the track to be a visible design feature or subtly hidden from view.
