What are pleated curtains?
Pleated curtains are curtains whose heading is sewn into folds at the top, so the fabric falls in structured columns below. Ours use the American pleat, a classic pinch pleat in which the fabric is gathered and pinched into neat folds along the top of the curtain. It is also known as hook pleat or pinch pleat, because hooks set into a heading tape hang the curtain on a track.
The result is a tailored, dressed look that suits a wide range of interiors. In Dubai it is a favourite for villa living rooms, majlis seating areas and master bedrooms, especially in weightier fabrics like velvet, where the pleats give the curtain shape and presence. In a light linen-look weave, the same heading feels fresh and relaxed.

Is American pleat the same as pinch pleat?
Yes, American pleat is a style of pinch pleat: the fabric is gathered into classic pinch-pleated folds at the top of the curtain. It is the pleated heading we make, and it gives the structured, tailored finish most people picture when they look for pinch pleat curtains in Dubai.
You may also hear it called hook pleat. American pleat, hook pleat and pinch pleat all describe the same heading here: hooks set into a heading tape at the top of the curtain hang it on a track. It sits alongside our other two headings, Wave and Eyelet.
Which rooms suit pleated curtains?
Pleated curtains suit rooms where you want the window to feel dressed rather than simply covered. The defined folds add a sense of occasion, which is why they are so often chosen for spaces where guests are welcomed.
- Villa living rooms and majlis areas, where velvet or textured weaves add warmth
- Dining rooms, where a structured heading feels polished
- Master bedrooms, as lined blackout pleated curtains
- Garden rooms and sunny spaces, in light linen-look weaves
Pleated or wave curtains: how do you decide?
Decide by the feel of the room. Pleated curtains look tailored and classic, with defined folds at the top; wave curtains look modern and relaxed, with an even S-fold from end to end. If your furniture leans traditional or you love velvet, choose pleated; if your space is minimal with wide glass, wave usually fits better.

What is an American pleat curtain?
An American pleat curtain is a curtain with classic pinch-pleated folds gathered at the top, giving a structured, tailored heading. It is a traditional style that works with sheers, lined blackouts and layered pairs, and it is the pleated heading we offer across Dubai.
Are pinch pleat curtains still in style?
Yes. Pinch pleat curtains remain a classic choice because their tailored folds suit traditional, transitional and modern-classic interiors alike. In a light linen-look weave they feel fresh and relaxed; in velvet they feel rich and formal. The fabric you choose shapes how current the curtain looks.
Can pleated curtains be blackout?
Yes. Pleated blackout curtains are lined to block light and reduce heat from the sun, with the same classic American pleat heading. They suit master bedrooms and guest rooms.
Do velvet curtains suit Dubai homes?
Yes, especially in air-conditioned bedrooms, media rooms and formal living areas, where velvet's soft, weighty drape adds warmth and depth. A pleated heading shows velvet at its best. Made as blackout curtains, velvet also keeps a room dark and reduces heat from direct sun.
How long does it take to get pleated curtains?
Delivery is estimated at 2-4 days after you approve your quotation, and our own team installs the curtains on the day they are delivered. Approval comes after the free home visit, where your windows are measured and fabrics chosen.
Can I see pleated curtain fabrics before ordering?
Yes. At the free home visit, a consultant brings fabric samples, measures every window and gives you one written quotation, with no charge and no obligation. Seeing velvet or linen against your own walls and light is the surest way to choose a pleated curtain.
Can pleated curtains be fitted in a rental without drilling?
In most cases, yes. Drill-free fixings are possible for many rented homes, and our consultant will recommend fixings that suit your tenancy. Heavier fabrics such as velvet are taken into account when the fixing is chosen at the home visit.
Can pleated curtains be motorized?
Yes. Motorization is a flat add-on of AED 1,000 per track and includes the motor, power supply and wiring, pairing to a remote and the phone app, and fitting on the same visit. It suits tall villa windows where heavy pleated curtains are tiring to draw by hand.
