What Are 3 Inch Pencil Pleat Curtains?

Three-inch pencil pleat curtains are a classic and versatile choice for any home. Characterised by their tightly gathered fabric, which resembles a row of pencils, these curtains offer a neat and structured look.

 

The ‘3 inch’ refers to the depth of the pleat, which is ideal for creating a fuller appearance and enhancing the drape of the fabric. Compared to other types of curtains, such as eyelet or rail curtains. Three inch and six inch pencil pleat curtains offer a more traditional aesthetic but can be easily adapted to suit modern interiors.

How to Hang Pencil Pleat Curtains

Hanging 3-inch pencil pleat curtains is straightforward and can be achieved with either a pole or track system. Here’s how to do it:

  • Adjust the Pleats: Before hanging, ensure the pleats are evenly spaced. Most pencil pleat curtains come with drawstrings to adjust the width and gather of the pleats to your preference.
  • Hooks and Rings: Insert curtain hooks at regular intervals along the back of the pleat tape. If using a pole, attach the hooks to curtain rings. For a track, the hooks can go directly into the gliders.
  • Hanging: Carefully place the hooks and rings onto your curtain pole or directly into the track. Ensure the curtains are evenly distributed for a smooth appearance.

How to Measure for 3 Inch Pencil Pleat Curtains

To achieve the desired look and fullness with your 3-inch pencil pleat curtains, precise measurements are key:

  • Width: Start by measuring the width of your pole or track. It’s important to measure the entire length, excluding any finials or decorative ends on poles. For pencil pleat curtains, we recommend multiplying this width by 2 to 2.5 times to achieve the appropriate fullness when the curtains are drawn. For example, if your track is 100 inches wide, your curtain width should be between 200 and 250 inches to allow for the pleats.
  • Length: The length of your curtains depends on your aesthetic preference and the function of the room. Measure from the top of the pole or track to where you want the curtains to end. For a traditional look, curtains may just touch the floor or windowsill. However, for a more contemporary style, consider having the curtains hang slightly below the sill or pooling slightly on the floor for a luxurious feel. Ensure to consider any obstacles like radiators or furniture that might affect the curtain length.
