Curtain Weights & Drapery Weights

Achieve the Perfect Drape With Curtain Weights and Drapery Weights.

Perfect the appearance of your drapery with a simple but effective notion: drapery weights. Also known as curtain weights, these metal inserts are used to add weight to curtains and drapes for a professional finish. The added weight helps the curtains hang straighter, decreasing flared hems and side seams for an overall more uniform drape and appearance. They can also be used to weigh down lightweight or outdoor curtains to help prevent them from blowing in the wind. Curtain weights are sewn directly into the curtain’s hem, usually in the corners, to weigh down the bottom of the curtain for a neat, straight appearance. Several styles of curtain weights are available, including uncovered, fabric-covered, plastic-covered, or vinyl-coated weights in various shapes and sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Curtain Weights & Drapery Weights

How do I weigh down outdoor curtains?

Installing drapery weights into the hem of a curtain is an excellent hidden way to weigh it down. These small metal weights are usually installed inside the curtain hem at the bottom corner of each panel, with extra weights in between as needed. Because they’re sewn into the hem, they’re an excellent way to weigh the curtain down without altering its appearance much.

How many drapery weights do I need?

It’s generally recommended to use at least one curtain weight in each corner of each drapery panel. For wider curtains, you can add additional weights along the bottom at evenly spaced intervals. However, the exact number of weights needed for each panel varies depending on the weight of the material and the desired finished look of the project.
