Types of Curtain and Roman Blind Confections, Description;
For many, a preferred choice. Not only from an aesthetic standpoint, but curtains are also incredibly versatile.
From determining the type of confection linked to your preference, style, materials such as rail or rod combinations... It all contributes to presenting curtains in their best light. A beautiful appearance and enhanced acoustics are automatically included!
I would like to go through some common curtain and Roman blind variants.
But with the playfulness between the type of curtain and Roman blind, a world of possibilities opens up.
Jens Mariën gladly immerses you in your favourite living environment!
Take Roman blinds, for example: for some, they may appear too classic, while for others, they are the preferred window decoration. Roman blinds can be made in several types of confection. The most well-known are with battens at the back, optionally available at the front. Absolutely casual are Roman blinds without battens. They present themselves effortlessly and beautifully.
Roman blinds or Stores Bateau with aluminium battens are sleek and the most contemporary in their category.
Versatile in all fabrics, with designs, lines, or patterns. It's all possible. In terms of operation, manual with a chain as well as automation is worth considering, especially for hard-to-reach and high windows.
Very contemporary options include Wave and single pleat curtains. While Wave curtains hover just above the floor, single pleat curtains offer a touch of playfulness, allowing you complete freedom in your choice. Snug on the floor or hovering just above it, single pleat confection allows you to choose. Typically, the curtain fabric is decisive in this choice. Regardless of your textile choice, be it transparent, in-between, or heavy curtains, they provide additional insulation during long cold and warm periods and enhance acoustics. For those who enjoy playing with light, it's possible to combine single pleat curtains with window decorations like wooden and aluminium blinds.
Sleek contemporary Wave curtains present themselves best just above the floor. Like waves, they make their way under the rail. Regardless of your home's architecture, the curtain should always hover above the floor to maintain its sleek character. Wave curtains are more specific in terms of textile choice compared to single and double pleat curtains. This is where Jens Mariën's knowledge of materials makes a difference. Wave curtains are available in transparent, in-between, and heavy curtain fabrics.
Those who are all about timeless elegance will decisively choose double pleat curtains. Undoubtedly the most elegant curtain style.
A double pleat, also known as Flemish Head and Butterfly Pleat, hangs more beautifully due to more fabric compared to a single pleat. There is more fabric, which creates deeper waves, allowing the curtain to fall more naturally into its pleats. Therefore, this confection is highly appreciated regardless of fabric choice.
A special confection that falls between "single pleat and the sleek Wave curtain" is our "Reverse pleat curtain." Absolute elegance that presents beautifully in both contemporary and "classical architecture." The Reverse pleat curtains are timeless. Their properties allow them to be beautifully presented in mansions, authentic lofts, but also contemporary homes that need a touch of warmth and ambiance. Because simplicity is beautiful. This confection is an ode to tranquillity; its simplicity radiates calm. Despite being more challenging to make than a single or double pleat, light pooling on the floor or just above the floor is most beautiful with this confection. If you like to play with light, it is possible to combine Reverse pleat curtains with wooden blinds or trendy woven wood.
A less common window decoration is fixed panels in curtain fabric. The panels are mounted on windows and doors, providing constant privacy. Typically, they are made with fresh white or off-white textiles. Fixed window panels combine well with curtains, heavy curtains, but also with wooden blinds, roller blinds, among others.
For those who desire large flat window decorations, our Japanese Panel curtains provide the desired result. The curtain rail is a system in which each panel can be moved individually. Depending on the width of each window, the panels are divided by the number of rails. The fabric is available in both curtain and screen textiles. Screen textiles are similar to roller blinds. Both materials are different from each other. The application, its environment, and, of course, personal taste determine the preference.
Curtains that can withstand a lot,
Reverse pleat, Wave 6 & 8, Single and Double pleat, Roman blinds, Japanese panel curtains, and fixed window panels are also suitable for humid spaces such as bathrooms, indoor swimming pools, pool houses, saunas, or hot tubs that require privacy. It is absolutely possible to help you with custom-made curtains & Roman blinds. Regardless of their confection and size, Jens can develop technical solutions for years of enjoyment.
Automation and Demotics,
For all mentioned curtains, suitable automation is available. From wireless RTS and wired electric control with connected switches to wireless, touchscreen home automation systems like KNX.
