elegant sealWINDOW STYLING STUDIOTHE DESIGN IS IN THE HEADING
Choose the silhouette separately from the fabric’s light control. These are the three heading designs shown on Elegant Seal’s current curtain page.
01 · WHAT THE FABRIC DOES
Sheer for filtering; dimout or blackout for the night layer. Select the actual cloth and lining for the room.
02 · HOW THE CURTAIN FALLS
S-fold, double pleat or eyelet. Each gives the same fabric a different silhouette and needs suitable hardware.
03 · HOW YOU USE IT
Manual or a compatible motorised track; then agree fullness, stack-back, hems, trims, shaping for suitable fabrics and fitting.
S-fold describes the repeating waves formed by a compatible heading and track system. It can be used with a sheer, dimout or blackout specification. The look comes from the heading geometry and cloth, not from an opacity category.

A double-pleat heading gathers the fabric into pairs of sewn pleats. Often called a double pinch pleat, it produces a defined top and a more tailored fall. The fabric can still be sheer, dimout or blackout.

Eyelet curtains hang from rings set into the top of the fabric and move along a suitable pole. The visible rod and ring finish become part of the room’s design. Eyelets are a heading choice, independent of fabric opacity.
