One of the nice things about Flat Drapery panels is that they can be used as functional drapes. Typically if you wanted a drape that could function as well as look good, you were either using a pleated style, grommet style or a tabbed style of drape.
The Flat Drapery panel offers a casual appeal that many of today’s consumers are drawn to. The panels look clean and simple yet classy and are easy to open and close, not a lot of fussiness.
Standard lining will work well on these panels, however, whenever using light weight fabrics, we recommend using classic napped lining for extra body, fullness and drape-ablility.

Grommet style draperies are an excellent choice when contemporary decors appeal to you. Grommet panels offer a clean look that depending on the style and color of grommet you choose can make an ever bigger statement in your room.
Square shaped grommets give you a bit more modern look than the typical round set grommet.
Grommet curtains are a great option when needing a functional style drape as the curtain can be opened and closed easily with a pull of the panel, for this reason alone many people opt for grommet panels.
A new style of pleated drapes we are offering is the Windsor Pleat. This style of custom pleated draperies is highly recommended to be used as decorative stationary panels.
The pleating style will not allow much stacking of the drapes, much like the Goblet Pleated style.
Custom draperies are all hand crafted and can be fabricated any width or length and of course all patterns are matched at the seams and to each other panel.
Pleated drapes are all fabricated with at least 2.5 times fullness for exceptional hanging and an upscale look.
If you’re looking for a something different in pleated drapes be sure to look into the Windsor Pleated drapes. Custom drapes are fabricated in one week.
Measuring for your board mounted valance is quite easy. First you need to determine if you are planning on hanging panels underneath the treatment.
If no panels are to be hung then you need to measure from point A to point B. Point A is where you want the valance to start and point B is where you want the valance to stop. That’s it – you’re done.
When no panels are to be hung under the valance, it is best to have the valance look form fitted, about an 1” wider than the actual window or window molding (if you have molding).
If you do plan on having panels under your valance, you will need to decide if you want the drapes to hang in front of your window or stacked off the window.
If you choose to stack the drapes off the window and you have the wall space to do it, then you will need to order the board mounted valance wider to accommodate the drape width.
This will give of course make your window appear wider than it really is, which many people like to do. A standard 50” wide rod pocket panel when dressed in at about 2-2 ½ times fullness will take up 20-24” of wall space for each panel.
Keep in mind you will want to start the panel at the windows edge (not the molding edge). So if your molding is 3” in width and panel will take up let’s say 22” less 3” (molding) = 19” additional width on each side in order to stack the panel off your window.
When hanging drapes under a board mounted treatment you should order a 5 ½” projection so that you have enough clearance to mount the valance over the drapes. If no drapes are to be hung, then a standard 3 ½” projection will suffice.
