Pelmets
The finishing touch that hides the hardware and seals in the warmth.
A pelmet is the tailored box or fabric header that sits above your curtains or blinds. It hides tracks and brackets for a built-in look - and it earns its keep: sealing the gap at the top of a window stops warm air spilling out in winter, which is why pelmets measurably improve a curtain's insulation. We build them square, wrap or upholster them to suit, and fit them seamlessly.

Common questions
- What does a pelmet actually do?
- Two jobs: it hides the track hardware for a finished, built-in look, and it closes the gap above the curtain where warm air would otherwise circulate against the cold glass - a real insulation gain in a Melbourne winter.
- Do pelmets really reduce heat loss?
- Yes - an open gap above a curtain lets room air convect down the face of the glass all night. A pelmet caps that loop. Paired with lined curtains it makes single-glazed windows behave far better.
- What styles are available?
- From sharp square-set boxes that disappear into modern interiors to upholstered pelmets in the curtain fabric for a soft, tailored finish - made to match the room, not off the shelf.
