Curtain hooks

The number of curtain hooks depends on the width of the curtain and how dense you want the pleats to be. As a guideline, you can use approximately 10 hooks for a single width and approximately 20 hooks for a double width. An even number of hooks usually provides a more even finish on both sides.

Wave hooks! Space them evenly (approx. 10 cm, or approx. 16 cm if you are using corded gliders) and make sure to use an even number of hooks per curtain for the best result.

The difference between a short neck and a long neck is how the curtain is positioned in relation to the track. 

A pleat hook with a short neck makes the curtain sit higher so that it can conceal the track, while a pleat hook with a long neck places the curtain below the track and suits all our tracks as well as hanging from rings on a pole.

1-prong pleat hook: works like a wave hook and can create soft waves.

2-prong pleat hook: creates firm, slightly smaller pleats.

4-prong pleat hook: can create several different kinds of firm pleats, including French pleats (also called inverted or reverse pleats) and pencil pleats. 

How curtains are hung with hooks depends on the type of curtain hook and hanging method you choose. The hooks are attached to the curtain heading tape and then hung in the curtain track gliders or in the rings on a curtain pole, depending on the solution. You can read more about the different options in our guide to curtain arrangements.

Then you should use a wave hook (or a 1-prong pleat hook, which works in the same way), which lets you draw the curtain out and use its full width when needed.

2- and 4-pleat hooks, on the other hand, create fixed pleats that remain even when the curtain is drawn, and therefore cannot be completely flattened.

It depends on which curtain heading tape the curtain has. Our curtains come with multipurpose curtain tape, which means they work with most types of curtain hooks.
