What Are Back Tab Curtains?
Back tab curtains, also known as hidden tab curtains, feature loops or tabs sewn onto the back of the curtain panel.
These tabs slide directly onto the curtain rod, creating a seamless, tailored look with soft pleats that fall naturally.
Back tab curtains are suitable if you don't want to open and close the drapes very often.
Because the fabric rests directly on the rod, it may be not easy to slide the tabs over the rod.
