How do I hang my pencil pleat curtain?
Insert the hooks, adjust the gathers and hang your curtain. Follow our three illustrated steps to see how it’s done.
1. Insert the curtain hooks
Lay your curtain flat with the reverse side facing up. The pencil pleat heading tape is the strip sewn along the top of the curtain.
Insert the hooks into the heading tape, spacing them approximately 8–10 cm (3–4 inches) apart. Distribute them evenly across the full width, all at the same height.

2. Adjust and distribute the gathers
Before hanging your curtain, check its width once gathered. Gently pull the cords in the heading tape to tighten the gathers, then distribute them evenly.
- For two curtains: each panel should cover approximately half the curtain pole or track.
- For a single curtain: adjust the gathers to the width you need to cover.

IMPORTANT:
Do not cut the heading tape cords!
Once the width is adjusted, tie the cords to hold the gathers in place. Keep the full length of the cords and tuck them behind the curtain so you can readjust the gathers if needed.
3. Hang your curtain
Attach each hook to the rings on your curtain pole or to compatible gliders on your track.
Once the curtain is hung, distribute the folds across the full width and gently arrange them by hand for an even drape.
Depending on your installation, various types of curtain poles with rings or compatible fittings may be suitable.
