- Drapes are defined as a panel or panels that cover the entire window that are moved with a traverse rod or baton.
- They may also be used as stationary panel drapes that simple frame the window.

Custom Made Curtains and Curtain Panels
Curtains
- Curtains have a rod pocket sleeve at the top for a rod to slide into, and a header above the rod pocket. Options include the size of the rod pocket and header.
- Curtains AND drapes can be lined or unlined and may also be tied back.
- Curtains are not intended to be moved like drapes, because the fabric is gathered around the rod and movement is difficult.
- Curtains do not have pleats, and mostly remain fixed on the rod.
