Pencil / Relaxed Pleat Curtains
Pinch pleat curtains are one of the most popular curtain headings; the hand-finished and bespoke nature of the pinch pleat means these are always made to measure and offer a luxury finish.
This particular pleat is most beneficial for those needing a good night’s sleep as it can cover the track, meaning it minimises light seepage.
The organised pleats allows the curtain to stack very neatly, in contrast to pencil pleat which is a more casual pleat and falls in a more relaxed way
There are three styles available: single, double or triple pinch pleat. The most popular is the double pinch which is the modern take on the triple pinch which is a more ‘formal’ option.

Why choose Pencil / Relaxing Pleat Curtains
Our pencil pleat/relaxed pleat curtains are a popular choice among our clients.
Pencil-pleated curtains are the go-to option for many customers, as this is a cost-effective way to still have lovely made-to-measure curtains, without the expense of hand-pleated headings such as pinch pleated or bespoke tracks that are required for Wave.
The pleat offers a relaxed and casual feel as opposed to the more structured pleats. The curtains fall in a natural way and look best when finishing on the floor, for a soft and cosy look.
We use a little bit less fullness than required for Wave or pleated and the making of the curtains is less labour-intensive; these savings then get passed on to you.
