Eyelet curtains, made to measure in Dubai
An eyelet curtain hangs from metal rings punched through a stiffened band along the top. There are no hooks and no gliders: the pole goes straight through the rings, and the curtain slides on it.
What you get is a fold that stays even the whole way down the drop, and a curtain that pulls with one hand. What you give up is concealment — the rings and the pole are always in view, so the pole becomes part of the room rather than something hidden above the window.
Free measuring visit
Someone brings the fabric range to your home or office and measures the pole run, so nothing is cut off a number you weren't sure of.
Made, not resold
The curtains are cut and sewn by us, so an alteration or a repair later comes back to the people who made them.
Fitted and looked after
Pole and bracket fitting, installation, then alterations, repairs and cleaning afterwards — all from one company.
How an eyelet heading behaves
The rings sit at a fixed spacing along the stiffened header, and that spacing is what makes the folds regular. The curtain gathers into deep, rounded waves rather than the flatter gathers of a tape heading, and because every fold starts at a ring, it repeats the same width all the way down.
It stacks wider than a pinch pleat when it's open — the same fullness has to go somewhere, and here it sits in fewer, larger folds. So the pole wants to run 15 to 20 cm past the glass at each side, or the curtain will still be covering part of the window when it's fully drawn back.
Eyelets need a pole. Most apartments here are built with a curtain pocket in the ceiling above the window, and a pocket is made for a track, which takes a pinch pleat or a wave heading instead. Which of the two your window can have is decided by what's above the glass — that gets worked out on the measuring visit, not on installation day.

Eyelets and blackout, honestly
Blackout fabric works in an eyelet curtain, with one limitation worth saying out loud: the rings ride on the pole, which leaves a gap along the top. Light comes over the header, and no amount of fullness closes it.
For a room that has to go genuinely dark — an east-facing bedroom, a room someone sleeps in during the day — a track with a pinch pleat sits tighter to the ceiling, or a blackout blind goes behind the curtain to take the gap out. An eyelet heading on its own can't.
Where the room only needs to be dim and cool rather than black, an eyelet blackout is fine, and the wide folds suit a large window better than a tight pleat does.
Fabric, pole and drop
Most fabrics take an eyelet heading. The ones that suit it have some body to them — a medium-weight cotton, a linen blend, a lined blackout — because the folds are formed by the fabric itself, with no tape behind it doing the work. A very light cloth hangs limp between the rings.
Ring and pole finish should match each other rather than the furniture: nickel, brushed steel, matte black and antique brass are the ordinary ones, and the ring is the part of the curtain people stand closest to.
For the drop, measure from the top of the pole down to where you want the hem — the header rises over the pole, so the curtain's own top sits a little above that line. Floor length usually finishes about a centimetre clear of the tiles. Measure at both ends of the window while you're there; older villas are rarely square.
Eyelet curtains in different fabrics
What we actually do
We measure at your window, cut and sew the curtains ourselves, and fit them — pole, brackets and all. The measuring visit is free and covers Dubai.
Because the curtains are made here rather than bought in, an alteration later comes back to the people who made them. If new flooring goes in and the drop is suddenly wrong, that's a hem, not a new pair. We also take curtains down for cleaning and rehang them, including ones that came from somewhere else.
Nothing is cut or drilled before the measurements and the price are agreed.
