About the Pencil Pleat Heading

Pencil pleat is the most versatile heading we make. The tape gathers the fabric into slim, upright pleats that suit almost any fabric weight and any room, traditional or modern.

It works equally well on a pole with rings or on a track, and can be hung to sit above the pole or to cover it entirely.

  • Works with light and heavy fabrics
  • Generous, softly gathered appearance
  • Excellent value for wide windows

Best Suited To
