Accordia-fold ®<br />

sELECT yOuR DRApERy HEADER<br />

+ Accordia-Fold ® header styles also offer an even look from <strong>to</strong>p <strong>to</strong> bot<strong>to</strong>m,<br />

but each ripple is pleated, making them a crisper alternative <strong>to</strong> the Ripplefold<br />

headers. Buckram is necessary in order <strong>to</strong> create a crisp pleat.<br />

+ Structure: Accordia-fold headers are hung below the track on snap and can be<br />

hand or cord drawn.<br />

+ Advantages: Can be used as a substitute <strong>to</strong> traditional partitions, delivers a clean,<br />

uniform look front-<strong>to</strong>-back, best stacking rations, and highest stacking depth of all<br />

header styles.<br />

shirred<br />

+ Shirred headers add elegance and texture <strong>to</strong> draped surfaces.<br />

+ Structure: shirred headers are tightly gathered <strong>to</strong>gether. As a result, the overall<br />

body of the draped surface is less structured and more organic than many of the<br />

other header options. These are most often shirred directly over or on<strong>to</strong> a rod.<br />

+ Advantages: Adds drama <strong>to</strong> the window plane and lends <strong>to</strong> spaces where extra<br />

fullness is desired.<br />

+ Add: Decorative rods or rod finials <strong>to</strong> amplify the drama.<br />

Grommet<br />

+ Grommet headers create a uniform, structured look that is both modern and<br />

functional.<br />

+ Structure: Equidistant circles are cut in<strong>to</strong> the <strong>to</strong>p of a draped fabric. Then circular<br />

metal grommets are secured within each one so that a curtain rod can slide right<br />

through with ease.<br />

+ Advantages: Clean look with built in hardware that can be used in both residential<br />

and corporate interiors.<br />

+ Add: metal grommet in different finishes <strong>to</strong> complement color and material of<br />

draped fabric and rod.<br />
