Afin de proposer une tête de rideau avec un pli régulier et esthétique, nous proposons une large gamme de renfort :
Les Rubans tissés de 50 à 135 mm de large, sont des renforts en crin polyester transparent ou blanc qui s’adaptent à tous types de tissus d’ameublement ou de voilages.

Buckrams
During many years, the only way for hanging a curtain was to use a tape and hooks.
The decorative eyelet has been a real change in the way of manufacturing a curtain.
As a way to achieve a curtain heading with reguliar pleats and nice looking ,we propose a large range of buckrams:
Woven buckrams
Woven type buckrams from 50 to 135 mm width, are made of polyester filament, transparent or white, suitable for any sort of upholstery or voile fabric.
Do you know our double side hot melt adhesive version to be used without seam?
Buckrams with pockets ,used as a curtain heading tape without cords , are available in various widths: 70, 75, 90, 100 and 120 mm.
Buckram with predrilled holes are provided to help setting 35 and 44 diameter plastic eyelets .The gap between two holes is predetermined and avoid calculating the position of the eyelets.
Non-woven buckrams
Nonwoven buckrams are cut from a full width fabric in cotton, polyester or polypropylene.
They are competitive pricewise for industrial manufacturers of ready made curtains.
We propose standard widths in 80, 100 and 150 mm.
Would you be looking for any other dimension, please get in touch with our commercial team.
Tapes with loops for rod
The original tape with loops for rod was probably the tubular version, very popular in the 70’s to 90’s for brise-bise curtains.
In the 2000’s, HERAUD RUBANS creates the first “tape with loops for rods” by welding loops on a transparent buckram (our RPC 100 ref). This product ,which helps manufacturing curtains and avoid gathering by pulling cords ,has immediately proved very successfull!
We today offer different versions: welded loops or woven filament loops available in 50 mm width for voile fabrics ,and 100 mm for fabrics.
A tape may also combine possibility of being gathered (for instance as a pencil pleat) or used with a rod (woven loops); the reference 7112, that you will find in our catalogue belongs to this sort of tape.
Our latest available version is a polyester buckram cut with the laser machine (Ref PCD 100).
