Curtain Finishes & Standard Specifications
There are a number of ways in which to "finish" a curtain. The following provides some guidance on standard finishes and describes options beyond that as well. Note that our custom sewing quote tool
gives you the option to select a pre-configured set of "standard specifications" for your curtain finishes. Otherwise, you can specify a custom finish as well. If you still have questions, please email us at customerservice@RoseBrand.com, or call us at 800-223-1624.
Our standard top finish (see image A) includes polypropylene (poly) webbing, #3 grommets on 12" centers and ties. Jute webbing is used upon request.
If you'd like to mask the pipe with the top of the drape then see images B or C. Image B shows hidden ties, poly webbing with twill tape sewn on back. Image C shows hidden double grommets on poly webbing with ties.
For drapes where traveler track is being used, the finish shown in Image D is most common. It shows poly webbing, grommets and 2" s-hooks. Other options are the exposed and hidden, sewn snap hook (see Images E and F), or the elephant ear snap (not shown).
 A – Webbing, grommets & ties; 12" on center
 C – Hidden webbing, grommets & ties; 6" on center
 E – Exposed, sewn snap hook
 B – Sewn twill ties; 6" on center
 D – Webbing, grommets & S-hooks; 12" on center
 F – Hidden, sewn snap hook
Bottom finishes can vary by fabric type and use. Image A is most common for Muslin and Scrim. It has a pipe pocket with a skirt in front. This option is used for masking an uneven floor and preventing light leaks.
Image B shows a pipe hem, which is used to show a clean visual line in a border. Alternatively, a hem with a chain sewn-in (not pictured), will provide a drape with some weight without pulling the drape flat. If no weight is needed, then a 4" flat hem will be the cleanest option as shown in image C. The last image shows a lined flat hem where the lining is laced at the sides to allow adjustment as the two fabrics "breathe."
 A – Pipe pocket with skirt
 C – 4" Flat hem
 B – Pipe hem
 D – The lining is laced at the sides to allow adjustment as both fabrics "breathe."
