Heading Systems

• Ripplefold– Soft ripple like folds flow

smoothly from one end of the track to another.

– Panels can be removed and pressed flat, yet fall into folds.

– No hooks or pins, draperies easily snap on and off carriers

– Spaced carriers control fullness

– Recommended where draperies require frequent launderings or where a uniform appearance is desired both inside and out.

• Accordia-Fold– Precise accordian like pleats

offer a tailored look on both sides of the window.

– Snap tape sewn to heading controls drapery fullness and pleat depth.

– No hooks or pins, draperies easily snap on and off carriers

– Stack back is less than any other drapery system.

– Recommended for “tight” areas where minimum stackback space is required and a precise tailored look is desired.
