Pinch pleat curtains are generally curtains with a hand sewn heading, made with a buckrum stiffener rather than a standard heading tape. The curtains are gathered in pinch’s or three pleats and then a gap and create a very neat and regamented finish. The curtain when finished have tape so no place to fit the standard plastic curtain hooks. Instead you need to fit the curtains using a pin hooks
Pin hooks are metal hooks with a spike on one end. The hooks need to be spiked into the curtains one at each of the pinch’s. The hooks then need to be spiked through the buckrum stiffener, but care has to be taken that they do not go though the heading completely and can be seem on the face of the curtains.
Pinch pleat curtains hang beautifully be do take a lot more gather than the standard pencil pleat curtains. 2.5 times the size of the window. They are also more time consuming to manufacture so I’m afraid they do tend to cost more.
We offer all of our curtain fabrics with the option of having them manufactured into pencil pleat, pinch pleat, tab top or ring top curtains
