Why Choose Pencil Pleat Curtains?
Pencil pleat is the classic curtain heading — and it remains the most popular choice for a reason. The tightly gathered pleats create a full, generous look that works in any room and with any fabric. Unlike some heading styles that only work with specific tracks or poles, pencil pleat is compatible with virtually every curtain fitting — making it the most flexible and practical choice available.
For traditional and period properties pencil pleat is often the natural choice. But with the right contemporary fabric it works just as well in modern interiors — versatile enough to suit any home, any room and any budget.
Works on Both Tracks and Poles
One of the biggest advantages of pencil pleat curtains is their compatibility with both curtain tracks and poles. Whether you have an existing track you want to keep or a decorative pole you want to show off — pencil pleat curtains work perfectly with both. This makes them ideal if you're furnishing multiple rooms with different fitting types.
Fabric and Lining Options
-
Our pencil pleat curtain range is available in hundreds of fabrics — from lightweight cottons and linens to rich velvets and heavy woven textures. All available with standard, blackout or interlining options to suit every room and requirement.

Common Questions About Our Curtains
How long does it take from ordering to fitting?
Most standard curtain orders are completed within 3—4 weeks from the date of order. Some specialist fabrics or interlined options may take slightly longer — we’ll always give you a clear lead time when you order.
Do your curtains come with a guarantee?
Yes — all our curtains come with a full guarantee on materials and workmanship. If anything isn’t right we’ll put it right, no questions asked.
Can I see samples before I order?
Absolutely. Visit any of our three showrooms or book a free home visit and we’ll bring our full sample collection to you. Seeing fabrics in your own home with your own lighting makes all the difference.
Is measuring and fitting really free?
Yes — completely free on every made-to-measure order. We measure up during your home visit and our fitters install everything once your blinds are ready. No hidden charges.
What areas do you cover?
We cover Southport, Burscough, Ormskirk, Aughton, Tarleton, Croston, Formby, Hesketh Bank, Banks, Scarisbrick, Birkdale, Ainsdale, Rufford, Churchtown and all surrounding West Lancashire areas.
Do you supply curtains for commercial properties?
Yes — we supply and fit curtains for hotels, offices, care homes and commercial premises across West Lancashire. Get in touch for a commercial quote.
What heading style is most popular?
Pencil pleat is our most popular heading style — and it’s easy to see why. It’s the most versatile curtain heading available, compatible with both tracks and poles, and suits every style of home from traditional period properties to modern interiors. If you’re unsure which heading to go for, pencil pleat is almost always a safe and stylish choice.
What lining should I choose for a bedroom?
For bedrooms we’d recommend blackout lining — it significantly reduces light coming through the fabric, helping you get a better night’s sleep. If you want a truly sumptuous, heavyweight finish then interlining with blackout is the ultimate bedroom curtain option.
