Your Windows Like Drapes And Curtains Too

March 2nd, 2010 | by admin |

You may have ready made curtains, though there is a choice of having them custom made. Ready made curtains are probably the most convenient as they simply need to be hung from a track rail or pole with little trouble and often they have linings fitted and many also come with accessories like matching tie-backs and cushion covers for a completely coordinated look. It’s a wonderful things for all who need drapes for low price.

They are made to suit the  most common sizes of window treatments and are available in widths of 44, 46, 54 and 90 inches. The drop available, the length of the curtain, usually comes in three sizes, 54 inches, 72 inches and 90 inches.

Eyelet top curtains are simply threaded on to a pole or rail through the eyelets and require no hooks. It makes their removal so convenient as there are no silly attachments to be removed before you send then to the laundry or dry cleaning. They’re much like linen window treatments. Here, the natural drape of the curtain is determined by the distance between to consecutive eyelets , so in case you don’t like to have straight flat curtains when they are drawn closed, you may ask for a broader width so that the curtain folds remain apparent even when the curtains are pulled together, but be prepared to pay for extra length of fabric that is needed when they are pulled back.

Tab top curtains behave like eyelet top curtains. In their case a loop of the fabric at the top is stitched down to the main body of the curtain with narrow or broad bands or light weight sheer curtains may have ribbon-like tie tops that allow a pole to slip thru. And blackout curtains are cheap. Curtains with pencil pleats have a heading tape that can be drawn as tightly or as loosely as you desire for the required breadth of pleat if you need to make minor adjustments to fit your track; the tighter the tape is drawn the narrower the pleat will be. Having secured the drawstrings on the heading tape, the curtains continue to maintain the pleats when they are drawn closed.
