Our Standard Headers
Knife Pleat
Our most relaxed/casual style pleat. Unlike a french pleat, this style creates simple folds when stacked back off your space. When closed, it will pull flat. To achieve more fullness when closed (and to not pull flat), add additional width to your drapery panel to create movement.
Euro Pleat
Our most modern version of a french pleat. This style is a sewn-in pleat that is tacked at the top. The pleat will stay in the drapery panel when the drapery is closed over your space, creating a high end and custom look. This pleat is also offered in three folds or "three fingers" if desired ("two finger" shown above).
Pinch Pleat
Our most classic version of a french pleat. This style is a sewn-in pleat that is tacked at the bottom. The pleat will stay in the drapery panel when the drapery is closed over your space, creating a high end and custom look. This pleat is also offered in three folds or "three fingers" if desired ("two finger" shown above).
Width chart based on pleat
To use our width chart:
1. Choose your pleat style (top row).
2. Below your chosen pleat, choose your needed width (per panel).
3. From your chosen width, scan left to the "WIDTH" column. This is the width you'd need per panel.
4. Note -- If your panels will be stationary (non-functioning), choose your width based on proportion to your window. For help estimating this, please reach out to us!
HARDWARE COMPABILITY
Each of our standard pleat styles work with both a rod and ring combo as well as a traversing rod (specifically a traversing rod labeled "french/pinch pleat"). See below for ring count needs.

FAQ
Is Ripple Fold a pleat option?
Yes, we can accommodate a ripple fold which requires a specific traversing track. To request information for this, please reach out via our contact form.
Is a Back Tab pleat an option?
We do not offer a back tab header as this is a typical pleat with store bought curtains that are typically very light in weight. er
