A curtain is more than just decoration – it gives your home atmosphere, protects against prying eyes, and creates a cozy feel. For it to look its best, the bottom hem plays a crucial role. It determines how your curtain hangs, how it moves, and how harmonious the overall look is.
At vorhangschweiz.ch you can get custom-made curtains , which, depending on the fabric type, are finished with either a weighted hem or a curtain hem . This ensures the finish always matches the material perfectly – and your curtain hangs exactly as it should.
Curtains with weighted hem – for lightweight fabrics
Many lightweight and transparent curtain fabrics are equipped with a built-in weighted hem . The fine lead tape is sewn into the bottom edge and ensures that the fabric hangs smoothly and straight – even in a light breeze.
- Area of application: Particularly suitable for day curtains and transparent fabrics.
- Effect: The curtain appears airy and elegant, the lead tape remains invisible.
The weighted strip is the ideal solution if you want an elegant, floating look that still retains its shape.
Curtains with a hem – for heavier fabrics
Heavy or denser fabrics are usually finished with a hem . The fabric is folded over at the bottom and sewn – this gives the curtain the necessary stability and a nice, even appearance.
- Area of application: Particularly suitable for heavy blackout curtains or opaque night curtains .
- Effect: The hem adds extra weight, which enhances the drape of the fabric.
Curtains that hang over the edge – a stylish detail
Whether with a weighted hem or a hem : You can also deliberately choose your curtains to be a little longer so that they lie lightly on the floor.
- Light feel: creates a cozy and homely atmosphere.
- Thick pressure ("puddling"): creates a particularly elegant and luxurious effect.
That's purely a matter of taste and can be implemented entirely according to your wishes with a custom-made product.
