What are Back Tab Curtains?
Back tab curtains, also known as hidden tab curtains, feature loops or tabs sewn onto the back of the curtain panel.
These tabs slide directly onto the curtain pole, creating a seamless, tailored look with soft pleats that fall naturally.
Back tab curtains are suitable if you don't wish to open and close the drapes very often.
Because the fabric rests directly on the pole, it may not be easy to slide the tabs over the pole.
