Pinch pleat drapery header detail
Pinch pleat
The classic tailored header - two, three or four fingers per pleat.
Product line
Drapery sewn to your ceiling height and stack width
Pinch pleat, ripplefold, grommet and sheers - lined or interlined, in fabrics you can hold before you order.
Ready-made panels are a compromise. This is not.
Store-bought panels come in three lengths and one fullness. Custom drapery is cut to your ceiling height, hemmed to break exactly how you want at the floor, and sewn with enough fabric that it still looks full when it is open.
We also plan where the panels sit when they are open - the stack. Get that wrong and beautiful drapery blocks a third of your window. Get it right and the glass stays clear.

FAQ
Questions about this product
Should drapery touch the floor?
Most rooms look best with a light kiss at the floor or a half-inch clearance. A deliberate break of an inch or two reads more traditional. We mark it on site with the fabric in hand.
Can you use my own fabric?
Usually yes. We check the weight, width and repeat first, and we quote making and installation separately from material.
Do motorized tracks need wiring?
Some run on rechargeable battery packs, others need a low-voltage supply. On new builds we prefer wired; on retrofits, battery is usually simpler.
Do you hang panels over existing rods?
If the rod is rated for the weight and the height is right, yes. Very often the rod is too low or too short and we recommend replacing it.
