Hi there! You have selected your ready-made curtains, and now you need to decide on the best way to hang them. The most common styles of curtains are eyelet, pencil pleat, pinch pleat, S fold, rod pocket, and tab top curtains.

Choosing the Right Rods

Eyelet, rod pocket, and tab top curtains require a decorator rod or curtain pole, and the curtain is simply threaded onto the pole. Make sure you select a rod suitable for the weight of your blockout or sheer curtains.

Using Curtain Tracks

Pencil and pinch pleat curtains require a curtain track or decorative rod with curtain rings to hang the curtain hooks into. Make sure you select a heavy-duty curtain track or decorative rod for heavier curtains.

S Fold Curtains

S fold curtains are a unique curtain style that creates perfect curtain waves, giving your home a custom-made look. For this type of product, you need to buy the coordinated ready-made curtains with the correct size S fold curtain track to achieve this premium look.
