Curtains may be custom made or they can be ready made. The advantage of ready made curtains is that they are ready to use, just hang them on a track rail or a pole and there you are! Another convenience is that they generally come with a lining and some may have accessories that include matching tie backs and cushion covers to give your room a well harmonized look. It’s a wonderful things for all who need cheap curtains.

They are made to suit the  most common sizes of window treatments and are available in widths of 44, 46, 54 and 90 inches.  You get them in varying drop lengths of 54, 72, or 90 inches that suits most of the window treatments.

The best way to avoid hooks and those fussy attachments is to go for eyelet top curtains that are fastened to the pole or rail thru the eyelets. It facilitates their removal from the pole when you want to send them to the laundry because there are no small and awkward things to be removed or re-fixed after they have been laundered. They’re much like linen drapes. The distance between the eyelets determines the natural drape as they fall and some people who prefer not to have the curtains completely flat when they are drawn, order a broader width so that the concertina folds are still apparent even when the curtains have been pulled together though consideration must be given to the extra bulk of fabric when they are pulled back if you choose to do this.

Tab top curtains behave like eyelet top curtains. In their case a loop of the fabric at the top is stitched down to the main body of the curtain with narrow or broad bands or light weight sheer curtains may have ribbon-like tie tops that allow a pole to slip thru. And soundproof drapes are affordable. Curtains with pencil pleats have a heading tape that can be drawn as tightly or as loosely as you desire for the required breadth of pleat if you need to make minor adjustments to fit your track; the tighter the tape is drawn the narrower the pleat will be. Having secured the drawstrings on the heading tape, the curtains continue to maintain the pleats when they are drawn closed.
