Curtains Fullness
Once you have entered your curtain pole or track width, we will calculate the amount of fabric required for your curtains. Some headings require more fullness or gathering than others so these headings will require more fabric, which is reflected in the price of the curtains. All curtains are made in increments of 1/2 widths:
Pencil Pleat 200%
Pinch Pleat 200%
Wave 150% or 200%
Eyelet 170%*
* You will need an eyelet larger than your pole diameter, to ensure that the eyelets can move freely along your pole
