There are a lot of types of curtains and drapes. They come in diverse types of fabric, sizes and styles. The most common kinds are tabbed, pole pocket, grommet, pinch-pleat, tie-top and swags.
Tabbed drapes have “tabs” within the top. They’re commonly rectangular shaped and suspend about the rod. The dimensions of rod required depends on the size from the tabs. They are quick to suspend on rods because rings or clips aren’t required.
An additional quick curtain to hang is pole pocket window treatments. Much like the tabbed style, rings and clips aren’t needed. The rod goes through the “pole pocket.” Also like the tabbed fashion, the size of rod is dependent on the inside diameter on the pocket. Work with a rod which has a smaller diameter than the pocket, therefore the curtains can move along the rod.
Grommet drapes have gained popularity lately. Grommets are commonly round, metal or plastic rings which can be sewn into the drapes. The drapery rod is threaded by the grommets. They provide a really clean look. Chose your drapery rod at least one-half inch small compared to the inside diameter of the grommets to ensure easy movement on the drapes. The pinch-pleated fashion have pleats along the top from the curtains. They gather nicely along the rod. Pleated outdoor curtains type need rings to suspend on a rod. Rings with eyelets is usually sewn directly for the pleats within the back with the fabric or put on pincer clips which “pinch” onto the fabric. Yet another option is to use clips which are sewn or else attached to the back of the pleats and go by way of the ring eyelets.
One more kind of curtain is the tie-top. The top on the fabric has several ties that “tie” about the rod. They could be knotted or tied in bows. Swag curtains are pieces of fabric that hang over and about the rod. You’ll find numerous ways to “swag” the curtains more than the rod. They can be utilized with other kinds of curtains since swags typically hang up over the top of the rod. Almost any size rod will work with swags.
