What type of fixing is needed for your curtain rod?
Eyelets, gathering tape, rod pocket or multi-functional – 4 types that cover 99% of installations.
How to use this guide.
Look at the top of your current curtains (or your curtain rod if you don't have curtains). Compare it to the 4 types below.
Eyelets - 40mm
Metal rings integrated into the fabric. Slide directly onto a standard round curtain rod (Ø 28 mm). The most common system.
Gathering braid
Woven ribbon at the top of the curtain with hooks. Hangs on track curtains or hook rods. Creates an elegant, gathered effect.
Rod pocket
Fabric loops are sewn at the top of the curtain. The curtain rod passes directly through. Contemporary and understated style, 100% fabric.
Multi-Function
Opt for multifunctionality so you can use your custom Kurtens curtain in all situations.
| Fixing | Suitable if… | Not suitable if… | Maximum weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40mm eyelets | Round curtain rod | Sliding rail / thin rod | Any weight |
| Gathering braid | ceiling rail / curtain rod with hooks | Round curtain rod without hooks | Any weight |
| Rod pocket | Round rod | Frequent opening/closing | Any weight |
| Multi-Function | Curtain Rod & Rail | - | Any weight |
You don't know what type you have?
Look at the top of your current curtains. Metal rings = eyelets. Gathered tape = gathering tape. Don't have current curtains? Look at your curtain rod: smooth round = eyelets, track with gliders = gathering tape.
Our recommendation for curtains
Kurtens curtains are heavier than average (620 gsm). We recommend grommets or pleating tape for optimal long-term wear.
