Curtain Pleats

After choosing your curtain fabric, the next decision is curtain pleats. The right pleat can make all the difference to the finished look. Our experienced team will talk you through the options to help you select the best choice for your curtains.

Pleat Terms Explained

Fullness - The amount of fabric needed to cover a particular width. A 2.0 fullness would require 2m of fabric for every 1m you want to cover. This varies according to pleat type, meaning some pleats require more fabric than others.

Header - This is the vertical height of the tape/pleat we use. Typically, a larger header is used for houses with a high stud. The header size should increase relative to the vertical drop of the curtains to maintain the pleat and achieve a proportional look.

Testimonials

Our experience with Curtain Design was awesome from start to finish. They took us through everything we needed to know and got us to the point where we felt 100% comfortable. When the curtains and blinds arrived they were better than we’d hoped, and we’d easily recommend this business to others (in fact we’ve already got two other families making enquiries!). For us it felt so good to deal with a family business who understood us - thanks Curtain Design, 6 stars out of 5!

Curtain Design did a great job with my curtains. They made a time to suit and brought samples to my house. The quality of the product, service and the time it took to complete the project were all really good. I would definitely recommend Curtain Design if you are wanting some curtains. I am currently just about to order some Roman blinds through them as well. Top work guys.

Really good customer service, right from the initial visit by your interior designer Stephanie, through to the install today by Gareth. Really happy to have my beautiful new curtains for my bedrooms. They're so nice, I'll probably want to take them with me if I moved house and put ready mades in their place!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the beautiful curtains and blind that Shaneil installed last week at our property at The Rocks. Like the first ones (which, as you know, our tenants’ kitten used as a giant climbing post!) these ones are just as gorgeous. I am hugely grateful that you were able to replace them at such a reasonable cost. It really is rare to come across a company with such a huge heart. Every time we’ve dealt with you guys, it’s been so easy from the initial quote and fabric decisions to installation. Thank you again!

Dani Simpson, Hamilton

Our son loved the new curtains in his room, not so much for the colour or style (that stuff is wasted on a teenager) but for the dramatic increase in temperature in the room!

Te Uku School would like to commend the staff at Curtain Design on their very efficient, friendly and good quality service with their recent installation of blinds into all of our classrooms.

Rachel Allan, Principal of Te Uku School

We love our curtains. They've been up for a while now and look just as good as the day they arrived. Initially I rang Jamie just to ask for advice after a botched job by someone else. Despite the fact I wasn't looking for him to do the job he was very helpful and spent time with me helping to solve someone else’s problem. I felt he'd gone out of his way when there wasn't anything in it for him.

Finally, after some time when it became clear the other job would not be completed, we went back to Jamie and he provided what we wanted all along without fuss and very promptly. We're very satisfied and would recommend Curtain Design without reservation.

Steph and the team at Curtain Design were absolutely exemplary from start to finish. Steph went above and beyond with really getting to understand the brief for the curtains in our show home, spending time looking at our mood boards and visiting the site with samples in tow, she made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. We are absolutely rapt with the end result - soft, dreamy and relaxing... she nailed it!

The curtains really made the spaces look complete and her advice on the tracks matched with the pleats blew me away when they were installed! Exceptional value for money and made in NZ! 1000% we highly recommend.

Cara Jane Otto, Cambridge

Very prompt and professional service. The consultant was knowledgeable about the range available and could suggest without being pushy. I was kept fully informed every step of the way and times were adhered to. Prices are very reasonable. I would return to them in the future.

The service from the team at Curtain Design was excellent from first meeting with Sukh to the installation. Sukh's suggestions for fabrics to create the look we were after were spot on and we're absolutely delighted with our new curtains and blinds. We were pleasantly surprised at the competitive price, too. Thank you everyone involved; we're more than happy to highly recommend you.
