This heading gets its name from the tightly gathered pleats. They are at the top of the curtain which resembles a row of pencils. This results in an informal and casual fall of the curtain fabric.

A pencil pleated heading is a simple finish and is particularly suited to free falling voiles and light weight curtain fabrics.  This is due to the natural look of the final curtain.

• Pencil pleat heading tape is used to create the tight pleats with cords within the header being used to gather the fabric together.
• Depending on the size of the curtain and the style of the surrounding décor, there are 2 sizes of tape width to choose from.
• Pencil pleated curtains can stack to the right or left side of a window, or meet in the middle to form a pair of curtains.
• Pencil pleated made to measure curtains can be hung from a modern track system either wall or ceiling mounted. As well as a more traditional feel from a ring and pole system.
• This heading style can also be used to create the informal balloon headed curtains which make perfect dress curtains pooling onto a floor.
