Narrowtex buckram tape is used to stiffen the top of the curtain for the design of hand pleated headings. The stiffening tape holds the fabric more rigid, allowing pleated shapes to be created and stabilized more easily therefore, pleats are kept in place when they are sewn. Buckram tape is thick with a canvas-like feel, thus adding body to the top of the curtain. Besides achieving a desirable pleating action, drapery pins do not damage the fabric.
Typical curtain headings that are sewn using buckram tapes are:
French or knife pleats
Box or café pleats
Goblet pleats
CUSTOMISATIONS
Narrowtex offers custom printing on the inside of the curtain and blind tape in subtle pastel colours. While facilitating brand awareness, this avoids compromising the appearance of the finished product.
