With there being so many Curtain Heading Tapes out there, it can sometimes be a puzzle choosing the right one for you. Here at Calico Laine we stock a wide range of Heading Tapes which will allow a varied choice of effects and those which are suited to different weights of curtains... For example, net curtains generally come with a slot top heading, but if you wish to hang your nets with hooks on a curtain rail, you will need to sew a heading tape on. For this purpose, I would recommend a transparent heading tape as it will subtly sew onto your nets, and as net curtains tend to be pretty light weight, you could opt for a 1" or 2" width too! Pencil Pleat Tape is the one that is generally used for curtains, it easily sews onto the heading of your curtains and when the strings are pulled together will give you that 'rippled' look which will allow you to open and close easily! Pencil Pleat Tape is available in a few choices in width, so for a lighter weight curtain I would recommend the 1" or 2" and for heavier weights I would opt for a wider choice! All of these Heading Tapes have the thread going through them so you simply need to attach your Curtain Hooks to them and your away!! Looking for more detailed design? The Carmen Smock Pleat Tape will definitely provide this! It is used exactly the same was a normal curtain tape but offer an unusual 'checked' design, the tighter the heading tape is pulled, the more defined the design will be! The Carmen Smock Pleat Tape is 85mm wide and is more suited to light/medium weight curtains. If you are really looking for a luxurious heading tape, look no further than the Deep Regis Curtain Tape. It is 138mm wide and provides you with a lovely deep pencil pleat which looks especially effective when used with longer curtains! It has 3 non-slip draw cords to make sure the tape will stay in place.. We have many other designs available so come and have a lo0ok around and see if any take your fancy!
