Different vertical spacing just in header row of table

Does anyone know how to make the header row of a table of a different thickness than the body rows? I can control the standard 'thickness' of the rows via: \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.25}, where 1.25 is the multiple of standard thickness, but it doesn't seem to have any effect (in fact, throws error) if I try to change this value mid-way through the table construction.

What I was hoping to be able to do, was something like this:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
    \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
    \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{2}
    \hline
    Header 1 & Header 2 & Header 3\\
    \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.25}
    \hline
    A & B & C\\
    \hline
    D & E & F\\
    \hline
    \end{tabular}
\end{document}

On a case-by-case basis, you can insert a "strut". See Column padding in tables with a particular emphasis on "Alternative padding approaches". – Werner May 15 '13 at 23:14
The strut method works perfectly. By adding it to my \beforeheader{...} command, get applied on every table. Cheers. – Nicholas Hamilton May 15 '13 at 23:25
