Styles Notes: Luxury meets functionality, tradition meets modernity in our euro pinch pleat drapes. Euro triple pinch pleats are very much like the traditional triple pinch pleat drapes except that the pleats are pinched and secured at the top hem of the curtain. The top-gathered pleats create a waterfall effect for a pared down, updated take on the classic pleat that’s perfect for classic and modern rooms alike. This style is less formal and comparatively more relaxed than the traditional pleats.
Euro triple pinch pleats give the same attractive uniform finish to curtains as the euro double pinch pleat curtains with three inches in every pleat.
Fabric is gathered delicately into three little folds and then pinched together to create one pleat. The pinched pleats are spaced evenly apart, typically at gap of 3-4 inches. This creates a tailored look at the top, and as the fabric drops down toward the floor, the pleats control the fullness allowing the drape to fall smoothly and evenly. Hooks are inserted directly into the back of the heading typically using the pin and hook mechanism.
As pinch pleat is a ‘fixed’ heading (the pleats are sewn by hand to a fixed heading and cannot be loosened), it is important to provide an accurate track/pole width when ordering pinch pleats. This will allow us to gather your curtains to the correct width.
