What curtain rods and tracks work with ruffle top curtains?

The ruffled top header is designed to hang from curtain rings or clip-on rings on a standard curtain rod, and it is also compatible with all of our curtain tracks. The ruffle sits just above the rings or carriers, so the decorative top edge always stays on show.

Can ruffle top curtains be heat-set or permanently pleated?

No. Unlike our pinch pleat and ripple fold styles, the ruffled top header is not heat-set or memory-shaped. It is meant to fall in a soft, naturally gathered ruffle rather than a structured, pressed pleat.

Can other curtains in your store be made with the French ruffle top header?

Yes. The French Style Ruffled Top header can be made up in other fabrics on request. We have found it looks its best on lightweight, room-darkening cloth, so for now we have chosen to stock only the styles that show it off to full effect. If you would like it in a different fabric, simply reach out and we will be happy to help.

How do you wash and care for ruffle top curtains?

Machine wash cold and hang to air dry, and we recommend placing the panels in a mesh laundry bag to protect the ruffled edge. For full step-by-step instructions, see our curtain cleaning guide.

How much light do ruffle top curtains block?

These are lightweight room-darkening curtains: they gently soften and reduce incoming daylight for a cosy, relaxed feel while keeping the airy look of the ruffle. If you need complete darkness, pair them with a blackout lining or choose one of our dedicated blackout collections.
