The heading style - how the top of your curtain attaches to the track or rod - changes both how the curtain looks and how it moves. Here's a plain-English rundown of the systems we install most.
Eyelet, Pinch Pleat or Wave
Eyelet curtains have metal rings built into the fabric and slide on a simple rod - relaxed folds, easy to open and close, a casual modern look. Pinch pleat curtains gather into structured, stitched folds on hooks or rings - a formal, tailored look that suits heavier fabrics. Wave curtains use a special tape and track to create continuous, even S-folds - the smoothest, most contemporary option, and the easiest to motorize.
Which One Should You Choose
If you want something simple and casual for a bedroom, eyelet is hard to beat. For a majlis or formal living room, pinch pleat gives a heavier, more traditional look. For a large modern living space or floor-to-ceiling glass, wave heading gives the cleanest line and stacks flattest when open. Ceiling height and the weight of your fabric also matter - our team will recommend a track and heading combination during the home visit based on your specific window.
