There are many kinds of curtains and drapes. They come in diverse kinds of fabric, styles and sizes. The most common styles are tabbed, pole pocket, grommet, pinch-pleat, tie-top and swags.
Tabbed curtains have “tabs” on the top. They’re commonly rectangular formed and suspend for the rod. The type of rod needed depends on the size on the tabs. They’re easy to hang on poles due to the fact rings or clips aren’t necessary.
One more uncomplicated curtain to hang is pole pocket window treatments. Like the tabbed fashion, rings and clips are not essential. The rod goes via the “pole pocket.” Also like the tabbed type, the size of rod is dependent within the inside diameter from the pocket. Utilize a rod having a smaller diameter than the pocket, to ensure the curtains can move across the rod.
Grommet drapes have came into common use lately. Grommets are commonly round, metal or plastic rings which are sewn into the drapes. The drapery rod is threaded by way of the grommets. They offer a incredibly clean look. Chose your drapery rod at least one-half inch smaller than the inside diameter of the grommets to ensure uncomplicated movement on the drapes. The pinch-pleated fashion have pleats along the top in the curtains. They gather nicely along the rod. Pleated draperies style need rings to hang on a rod. Rings with eyelets can be sewn directly for the pleats for the back in the fabric or attach to pincer clips which “pinch” onto the fabric. An additional option is to use clips which can be sewn or else attached towards the back of the pleats and go by means of the ring eyelets.
One more style of curtain is the tie-top. The top in the fabric has a number of ties that “tie” about the rod. They can be knotted or tied in bows. Swag curtains are pieces of fabric that hang more than and about the rod. You’ll find quite a few ways to “swag” the curtains more than the rod. They can be used with other kinds of curtains since swags typically hang more than the top of the rod. Almost any size rod works with swags.
