A pinch pleat hook is a metal pronged hook that slides into the back of each pleat. The prongs hold the pleat together and the top hooks onto a runner in the track, so the curtain hangs in sharp, evenly spaced folds.
Ours are about 77 mm long and 24 mm wide — strong enough for heavy blackout fabric.

Questions
Metal Pinch Pleat Hooks — your questions
Where can I get metal pinch pleat hooks in the UAE?
Pak Home supplies metal pinch pleat hooks from its warehouse in Sharjah, at about 77 mm long and 24 mm wide, strong enough for heavy blackout. Request a price through Pak Middle East.
What's the best place to buy metal pinch pleat hooks in Dubai?
Choose a supplier that checks compatibility with your track, headings and ceiling rather than just selling a part. For heavy blackout, metal hooks keep pinch pleats crisp; plastic hooks bend and pleats slowly lose their shape. Book a visit if you'd like it checked in person with Pak Middle East.
What size are your pinch pleat hooks?
About 77 mm long and 24 mm wide, with prongs about 56 mm long. Ask via Pak Middle East.
How much does each pinch pleat hook weigh?
Roughly 7 to 10.6 g each, depending on type. Ask via Pak Middle East.
What's the price of metal pinch pleat hooks in Dubai?
Hooks are priced by quantity; ask for current pricing. With made-to-measure curtains from Pak Home, the hardware is already included in the curtain price. Ask for a figure through Pak Middle East.
Can I buy metal pinch pleat hooks without buying curtains?
Yes. Hooks are supplied by quantity for replacements and workrooms. Tell the team whether you want supply only or supply and fitting. Order through Pak Middle East.
How do pinch pleat hooks work?
The prongs slide into the back of each sewn pleat group, holding the folds tight, and the top hooks over a runner, so the curtain hangs in sharp, evenly spaced folds. See the aluminium track at Pak Middle East.
Why use metal instead of plastic hooks?
Plastic hooks bend under heavy fabric and pleats slowly lose shape; metal keeps a blackout pinch pleat crisp for years. See blackout curtains at Pak Middle East.
Are metal pinch pleat hooks included with your curtains?
With Pak Home's pinch pleat curtains, the hooks are already included. See what the one curtain price covers at Pak Middle East.
Who fits metal pinch pleat hooks in Dubai?
Yes, Pak Home's own team fits metal pinch pleat hooks, with the fixing chosen for your ceiling or wall. For curtains you already own, fitting is a standalone job from AED 150 per window for a straightforward track. See the fixing service at Pak Middle East.
Do pinch pleat hooks work with an electric track?
Yes, they hang from the runners in the electric curtain track as well as the aluminium track. See the electric track at Pak Middle East.
Are pinch pleat hooks good for heavy blackout curtains?
Yes, that's what they're made for; curtains here are usually heavy blackout on full-height windows. See the blackout range at Pak Middle East.
Are metal pinch pleat hooks in stock?
They're held in stock. Same-day supply or fitting isn't guaranteed, so share your deadline with Pak Middle East.
How do I know if metal pinch pleat hooks will fit my curtains or track?
They hang from runners in Pak Home's aluminium and electric curtain tracks; for pencil headings, use hook tape instead. Send a clear photo of your track, heading or existing part to Pak Middle East.
How many hooks do I need per curtain?
One per pleat group plus the ends; the count depends on the pleat spacing across the width. Ask via Pak Middle East.
Can I replace bent plastic hooks with metal ones?
Usually yes on a pinch pleat curtain; send a photo of the heading to confirm. Ask via Pak Middle East.
What hooks do pencil pleat curtains need?
Pencil and gathered headings use hook tape with plastic or metal hooks rather than pinch pleat hooks. See hook tape at Pak Middle East.
Can metal pinch pleat hooks be delivered in the UAE?
With made-to-measure curtain orders, delivery and fitting are included. For metal pinch pleat hooks on their own, confirm delivery or collection and whether you need fitting when you order, anywhere in the seven emirates. Check your area at Pak Middle East.
Do pinch pleat hooks fit any runner?
They fit standard runners in Pak Home's tracks; for another brand, send a photo of the runner. Ask via Pak Middle East.
Is pinch pleat good for full darkness?
Yes; pinch pleat leaves a minimal light gap at the top, which makes it a strong heading for blackout. See blackout curtains at Pak Middle East.
Do metal pinch pleat hooks come with a warranty?
For metal pinch pleat hooks: parts fitted as part of a Pak Home curtain order are covered by its 12-month warranty on tracks and stitching; for supply-only parts, ask the team to confirm cover. Read the warranty terms at Pak Middle East.

What they do
A pinch pleat curtain has its fullness sewn into groups of folds. The hook slides its prongs into the back of each group, holding the folds tight, and its top hooks over a runner. The result is the tailored, structured heading that suits formal living rooms and majlis windows.

Why metal
Plastic hooks bend under heavy fabric, and the pleats slowly lose their shape. Metal hooks keep a blackout pinch pleat crisp for years.
With our tracks
They hang from the runners in our aluminium curtain track and the electric curtain track. For a pencil or gathered heading, use hook curtain tape instead.

Pinch pleat hooks: small part, sharp pleats
Pinch pleat hooks in Dubai have more to carry than most, because curtains here are usually heavy blackout fabric hung from full-height windows. The hook is the part that holds each pleat together, so its strength decides whether the heading stays sharp or slowly sags.
Metal curtain hooks
Our metal curtain hooks are about 77 mm long and 24 mm wide, with prongs of around 56 mm. The prongs slide into the back of each pleat and hold the folds tight, and the top hooks over a runner in the track. Unlike plastic, metal does not bend under weight, so the pleats stay evenly spaced and upright for years.
How pinch pleat curtain hooks work
A pinch pleat curtain has its fullness sewn into groups of two or three folds along the heading. One of the pinch pleat curtain hooks goes behind each group, so the curtain hangs as a row of crisp, structured pleats rather than a loose gather. That tailored look is why pinch pleat suits formal living rooms, dining rooms and majlis windows.
Curtain pleat hooks in the UAE
We include curtain pleat hooks in the UAE with every pinch pleat curtain we make, matched to the weight of the fabric. For workrooms and tailors, we supply them in bulk from our warehouse, so a job never waits on a shipment.
Pinch pleat or wave
A pinch pleat heading uses more fabric than a wave heading but gives the most traditional, structured finish. Wave curtains give softer, continuous folds and stack more compactly. Both run in the same aluminium track, and both can be motorised.
See both headings in person at a free home visit across Dubai, Sharjah and the other emirates.
