I felt these are worth a thought where insulating quality of a curtain will be an added advantage over blinds. since they are not as expensive as the custom made, if one considers a life span of approx 3-5 yrs and gradually replace them I feel its an option worth considering. I dont quite like the tabtop types but the concealed tab and eyelet ones seem appealing. Any views, opinions, experience and advise?

I think what style you choose, may depend on the décor in your rooms, and the style of your home. But either look nice.

The pelmet stops the air rising upwards and traps it behind the curtains and at the pelmet. The eylet or tabs - so long as they finish inside the pelmet area, will not make a large diff then. Otherwise, the air still rises behind the curtain and up past the windows. Steve Re: Eyelet or concealed tab curtains anyone? 4Mar 28, 2008 6:41 pm Yak_Chat Only if you instal Pelmets too.

Concealed tab curtains can……but, I’m with you about this for a modern home, I don’t think they will go. How about this Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ JUST KIDDING!

I realise that the custom made curtains tend to dominate the room. I was hoping to have the rod ends to coordinate with the floor lamps . What about timber pelmets? my 60s house has them and we recently painted them to make them blend more and stand out less.
