Single bespoke curtains? -OR- Large production runs? WE CAN HELP!
We have built a wealth of experience supplying all sizes of curtain manufacturer, whatever your company’s size we can provide cost effective quality solutions that work, helping you to reduce your costs and simplifying curtain manufacture.
Our professional quality two part metal eyelets are made from high quality rust free brass. They are significantly stronger and more robust than the ‘click together’ plastic alternatives and because you use tools to permanently insert them there is no danger of the eyelet coming apart when fitted in to heavier fabrics.
In addition to their contemporary design appeal, in public or commercial environments curtains hung with eyelets are very durable and when hung from a securely fitted curtain pole become highly theft resistant, ideal for store changing rooms, hotel rooms, and other public spaces.
Eyelet Sizes
Curtain eyelets are available in four sizes to suit all curtain pole diameters, they are 25mm, 40mm, 50mm and 66mm. We also have a square eyelet in the popular 40mm size.

Curtain Eyelet FAQ’s
Why are your products better?
We make eyelets and setting equipment and we understand how they work together, this gives us a great insight in to the technical aspect of eyeleting.
I already have a machine, will your eyelets work on it?
It’s very important that the eyelets match the setting dies of your machine. Even a difference of a fraction of a millimetre can prevent an eyelet setting correctly. However we have a wide range of eyelets and can usually find a solution that means you don’t need to replace your machine.
Will you be able to supply me when I’m ready to re-order?
As a manufacturer of eyelets we are not at the end long supply chain where the origional scource is always changing, if you buy an eyelet from us today you will get the same eyelet from us when you re-order.
Will your eyelets go through multiple layers of material?
Yes, they are designed to go through the folded hem of a banner.
Are the eyelets removable?
They are designed to be permanantly fixed so they don’t come out
Why are brass eyelets better than steel?
Brass is better than steel because it will not rust, even electro-plated steel will still rust when exposed to wet weather, ruining your banner. Brass is also more malleable than steel and is slightly easier to insert with a manual machine.
What is the most common size eyelet used in curtains?
40mm round.
How do you fit eyelets?
Our metal eyelets are inserted using special fitting tools that roll the barrel of the eyelet back on itself gripping the curtain material between the eyelet rim and the backing ring. This provides a permanent professional fixing.
Will your eyelets go through multiple layers of material?
Yes, they are designed to go through several layers including bukram, interlining etc.
