Pencil Pleat Curtains: Your Complete Guide | Vrishkar Blinds UK
Discover the elegance and versatility of pencil pleat curtains at Vrishkar Blinds UK. Our comprehensive FAQ covers everything from how to hang pencil pleat curtains and how to measure for pencil pleat curtains to the benefits of pencil pleat blackout curtains and thermal pencil pleat curtains. Explore a vast range of colours and fabrics including grey pencil pleat curtains, green pencil pleat curtains, velvet pencil pleat curtains, and linen pencil pleat curtains, all available as made to measure pencil pleat curtains or ready made pencil pleat curtains UK.
What are Pencil Pleat Curtains and why choose them?
Pencil pleat curtains are a classic and highly versatile curtain heading style characterised by tightly gathered, cylindrical folds at the top, resembling a row of pencils. This traditional heading is created using a 'pencil pleat' tape with drawstrings that allow you to adjust the gathering to your desired fullness. They are chosen for their timeless elegance, ability to suit both traditional and modern interiors, and their flexibility in fitting various window types. They offer a softer, more gathered look compared to eyelet curtains and can be hung on both curtain poles and tracks, making them a popular and adaptable choice for any room.
How do I measure for Pencil Pleat Curtains?
To measure for pencil pleat curtains, you'll need two key measurements: width and drop. For the width, measure the full length of your curtain pole or track. For fullness, we recommend curtains with a combined width of 1.5 to 2.5 times your pole/track width. For the drop, measure from the very top of your pole or track (where the curtain hooks will sit) down to your desired length – be it sill length, below the sill, or floor length. Ensure you account for any radiators or obstructions. This applies whether you're measuring for made to measure pencil pleat curtains or ready made pencil pleat curtains. For specific bay window measurements, consult our dedicated guide on 'pencil pleat curtains for bay windows'.
How to hang Pencil Pleat Curtains?
To hang pencil pleat curtains, first, pull the cords on the heading tape to gather the curtain to the correct width of your pole or track. Evenly distribute the gathers for a neat 'pencil' effect, then tie off the cords securely (do not cut them, as you may need to adjust later). Next, insert 'curtain hooks for pencil pleat curtains' into the pockets on the heading tape. For a curtain pole, insert hooks into the top row of pockets so the fabric sits just below the pole. For a curtain track, insert hooks into the middle or lower rows so the heading covers the track. Space the hooks evenly across the width of the curtain, ensuring one hook is placed at each end of the curtain to hold it securely. Then, simply attach the hooks to your curtain rings (for a pole) or gliders (for a track). For detailed steps, especially for 'how to put up pencil pleat curtains' or 'how to gather pencil pleat curtains', refer to our complete hanging guide.
Are Pencil Pleat Curtains available with Blackout or Thermal linings?
Absolutely! Pencil pleat curtains are an excellent choice for functionality, especially when combined with blackout or thermal linings. We offer a wide range of pencil pleat blackout curtains (also known as blackout pencil pleat curtains or blackout curtains pencil pleat) designed to block out unwanted light, ideal for bedrooms and nurseries. Popular options include grey blackout curtains pencil pleat, white blackout curtains pencil pleat, pink blackout curtains pencil pleat, green blackout curtains pencil pleat, and black blackout curtains pencil pleat. For energy efficiency, our thermal pencil pleat curtains (or thermal curtains pencil pleat, pencil pleat thermal curtains, blackout thermal curtains pencil pleat) provide excellent insulation, helping to keep your room warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Many of our curtains are 'lined pencil pleat curtains' for enhanced performance.

While we don't stock brands like Matalan or Laura Ashley, our selection offers comparable quality and style, including 'luxury pencil pleat curtains'.
Can Pencil Pleat Curtains be used with tracks or poles?
Yes, one of the key advantages of pencil pleat curtains is their versatility. They are designed to be hung on both curtain poles (using rings and hooks) and curtain tracks (using gliders and hooks). The multi-pocketed heading tape allows you to adjust the hook placement for optimal hanging on either system, ensuring the heading either sits just below the pole or conceals the track. This flexibility makes them a suitable choice for almost any window setup, including fitting 'pencil pleat curtains on track' seamlessly. This is a key difference when comparing 'pencil pleat vs eyelet curtains', as eyelets are typically only suitable for poles.
What is the difference between a 3-inch and 6-inch Pencil Pleat Tape?
The 'inch' measurement in pencil pleat curtains refers to the depth of the heading tape used at the top of the curtain. A 3-inch tape is the most common and versatile, creating neat, tight pleats. A 6-inch pencil pleat tape (or '6 inch pencil pleat curtains') is deeper, creating a more pronounced and elongated 'pencil' effect, which is often preferred for longer curtains or those in rooms with high ceilings as it offers a more substantial header. Both types allow for adjustable gathering and can accommodate hooks for poles or tracks.
