You will find several types of curtains and drapes. They come in diverse sorts of fabric, styles and sizes. One of the most common styles are tabbed, pole pocket, grommet, pinch-pleat, tie-top and swags.
Tabbed drapes have “tabs” around the top. They’re normally rectangular shaped and suspend about the rod. The type of rod necessary depends on the size on the tabs. They are effortless to suspend on rods due to the fact rings or clips are not needed.
An additional simple curtain to hang is pole pocket window treatments. Like the tabbed style, rings and clips aren’t needed. The rod goes through the “pole pocket.” Also like the tabbed style, the size of rod depends on the inside diameter with the pocket. Use a rod with a smaller diameter than the pocket, so the curtains can move over the rod.
Grommet drapes have became popular lately. Grommets are commonly round, metal or plastic rings which might be sewn in to the drapes. The drapery rod is threaded through the grommets. They provide a extremely clean look. Chose your drapery rod no less than one-half inch smaller than the inside diameter with the grommets to ensure easy movement of the drapes. The pinch-pleated fashion have pleats along the top on the curtains. They gather nicely along the rod. Pleated velvet drapes type need rings to hang on a rod. Rings with eyelets might be sewn directly for the pleats for the back with the fabric or put on pincer clips which “pinch” onto the fabric. One more option is to use clips that are sewn or else attached to the back of the pleats and go by way of the ring eyelets.
One more style of curtain is the tie-top. The prime on the fabric has several ties that “tie” around the rod. They is usually knotted or tied in bows. Swag curtains are pieces of fabric that hang up over and about the rod. You will discover numerous methods to “swag” the curtains more than the rod. They might be utilized with other kinds of curtains since swags usually hang up more than the top of the rod. Just about any size rod works with swags.
