Something You Need to Know about Pleat

What is Pleat?

A curtain pleat is a permanently gathered and stitched fold of fabric at the top of a curtain. Think of it as a series of neat, uniform tucks. These pleats are what give the curtain its structure, allowing it to drape in controlled, elegant columns from the rod/track to the floor.

Pleat Type

Each pleat style creates a distinct look, from formal and traditional to sleek and modern. Here are the most popular options we offer: pinch pleat, euro pleat, and Pencil pleat.

Other pleat styles, like the box pleat, goblet pleat, and single pleat, can also be made for you. Please get in touch with support@curtarra.com or start a livechat with our support team.
