Grip strength and teeth
Clips with teeth or rubber padding hold fabric without slipping, and weak springs let curtains slide out. Choose strong springs for heavy curtains and padded jaws for delicate fabrics.
Spacing
Place clips about 10 to 15 cm apart with one near each edge, and add more for heavy fabrics. Keep the top edge straight so the curtain hangs evenly.
Finishes
Black, brass, silver and antique finishes match common rods. Choose rust-free finishes in humid rooms and test that coatings do not chip.
Limits
Clips can mark delicate fabrics and give a flatter heading than pleated tape. For formal heavy curtains, tape and hooks give neater folds.
Care
Remove clips before washing and re-clip after ironing. Fitting should be done by a trained fixer, and the window frame, wall and fixing points checked for strength first.
Before you decide
Choose clips with strong springs and padded jaws and space them evenly. Ask the seller for a written specification, a sample piece and a clear return policy before paying. Test one clip on a spare corner of the fabric first, and check that the clip does not leave a mark or slip when the curtain is pulled. Measure the window or opening twice, order a small sample or a single panel first if the job is large, compare at least two quotes on the same specification of fabric, hardware and fitting, and keep the invoice and warranty card. Confirm delivery and fitting dates in writing, check the finished work in daylight and at night, and ask the supplier what happens if the colour or size differs from the sample. Prices change with fabric costs and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide.
