Pencil pleat curtains are a classic style of curtain. They get their name because the heading of the curtain looks a bit like a row of pencils, laid side by side. This effect is achieved by pulling on a cord attached to the heading, making the material fold together.
Pencil pleat curtains look great because they hang very straight. They are made of more material than many types of curtain, so they’re great at controlling the light in your home. They also provide a layer of insulation, so they help control the temperature too.
Pencil pleat curtains provide a layer of security for your home, as people passing by cannot see in. They are also useful for reducing the amount of dust in your room.
Pencil pleat curtains can be used with curtain poles or tracks, and can fit any size of window. They best suit classic, traditionally decorated rooms.
At Absolute Blinds, our pencil pleat curtains are available in a variety of colours and designs that will brighten up any room. We stock pencil pleat curtains from quality brands such as Prestigious, Iliv, Arena, and Drapes.

Absolute Blinds were the best price among four quotes we had for our 4 m wide motorised awning and the company delivered and fitted on time, carried out a clean efficient installation on the agreed day and we are extremely pleased with the finished product.
Absolute Blinds were honoured to take part in the show when it arrived on its doorstep in Welwyn Garden City! A local Mum of four with a life-threatening illness had her home transformed on the show by a plethora of local tradesmen and Absolute Blinds were asked to supply and fit all the blinds. For all who were involved, their experience was the same; each felt that it was a great project to be involved in and were very proud of what they provided.
All the blinds seen on the show, which will be aired on the BBC, have been provided by Absolute Blinds. If there are any of the blinds you have seen, which you would be interested in, please do get in touch via sales@absolute-blinds.co.uk for more details.
I can highly recommend the services of Absolute Blinds – last year, having looked at John Lewis, our local store, we made an appointment to go and view blinds and curtains for our newly decorated master bedroom. From the very first meeting to the final fitting, we were extremely impressed with the friendly, informative and highly competent service we received from their customer services team. As we had chosen a rather unusual colour scheme for the bedroom, it took a while to find exactly what we were looking for, but the team spent a lot of time guiding us in our choice of both curtains and a blind. After a comprehensive measuring service, the window furnishings were delivered and fitted within a few weeks. We were also assured of an excellent after-care service, should there be any problem, but we have been extremely impressed with the quality of both the curtains, blind and fitments. We are about to extend our property and will be seeking the services of Absolute Blinds to provide the furnishings for our windows throughout the house.
Our blind was installed last year. Just decorating – so blind had to come down – rang the office as we were not sure how to remove it. Got it down with instructions over the phone – but then had trouble putting it back. Someone was round within 15 minutes of calling to sort it out for us. What great personal service!
Friendly, approachable staff. Very good workmanship, would recommend.
Used this company to supply and install blinds throughout our new build property. Very professional service, great quality product and installation. Happy to come back to rectify any problems or queries. Would not use anybody else for blinds or curtains.
We visited the show room in Welwyn which was informative and helpful. The house call was arranged for measuring all windows which was extremely punctual. All samples selected and more were brought and we were given as much time as we needed to select and ask questions. Whilst all windows were measured, there was no obligation to have any/some/ all of the windows fitted. The fitting date and time was at our convenience and this was extremely quick. The fitters were knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. We have recommended 2 other households to Absolute Blinds who have both been completely happy with the whole experience.
Prompt, efficient, above & beyond. Extremely helpful, took old blinds away & cleaned before putting up new blinds. Would recommend them to anyone.
I visited their showroom and I ordered a bespoke motorised roller blind for my kitchen window. After choosing the fabric, design and trim Stuart visited my house and took the measurements. After placing my order, when the blind was made I was called to arrange a convenient time for the fitting. The blind was expertly fitted by Stuart and it looks even better than I had envisaged. It is beautiful. All the staff are delightful and they take a genuine interest in their customers requirements and advise accordingly. I was called after the fitting by a lady in the showroom to ensure that I was happy with the blind. From start to finish my experience with Absolute Blinds has been second to none and I am now planning to have more blinds made for my living room. If you are looking for quality made to measure blinds combined with exceptional customer service and amazing staff then look no further than Absolute Blinds. Perfect.
Stuart and his team are absolutely fantastic. Stuart provided advice on the type of shutters that would look and fit the best and has also provided me with a pair of living room curtains which look stunning. I am so impressed I have now put in an order for more shutters and plan to have new curtains upstairs. I really cannot fault them.
