Goblet Pleat

The goblet pleat adds a decorative and elegant touch to the heading of the curtain, producing full pleats.

Wave Pleat

This modern heading creates a luxurious boutique style due to the uniform pleats. It is created using a wave track system and is best used for larger areas or to decorate a wall.

Like Roman blinds, they can be either sheer or blackout depending on your requirements.

Tie Backs
