French Rods Dressing Options

French Rods Dressing Options

Oct 22, 2018 | Posted by Kirk Axelson | Draperies or Curtains |

For French Rods (radius elbows) there are 2 ways you can dress the ends of the curtain.  Each of the samples do require extra details when pleating the drapery in order for the drapery to fit properly. Below are few examples.

 

Option A –

 The return wraps straight to the wall  and attached to ring against the wall.  Making for a straight return look, similar to a return when rod has a finial.   The size of the return depends on the projections of the return elbow.

Option B –

Made so the pleat is on very end next to wall, making for a rounded look. This method does require the radius of the elbow to determine the proper pleated width for full working draperies ONLY.
