Wave curtns are an elegant yet strghtforward heading solution, crafted through a combination of wave glider cords and a custom-designed header tape. While commonly known as wave curtns, some manufacturers refer to them as Ripplefold under the Lutron brand.
The system relies on fixed-distance gliders spaced either 60mm or 80mm apart, which influence both the size and visual appearance of the wave pattern formed by the curtn fabric. The 80mm spacing creates a deeper crease with more space between the front and back surface of the drape, whereas the 60mm spacing yields a shallower crease that is best suited for compact spaces; however, it has a slightly larger stack.
Wave curtns offer several benefits over traditional curtn heading styles:
Minimal Stacking: The wave curtn design results in approximately 20 of the curtn's overall size being in the stack compared to around 30 for standard curtn finishes. This means that there's less wasted space when the curtns are closed.
Simplicity and Versatility: These curtns provide a clean aesthetic with no exposed hardware, making them suitable for both traditional and modern interior designs.
Curving Form: The wave pattern of these curtns can be evenly mntned throughout the entire length of the curtn as long as fabric suitability tests are adhered to. This ensures consistency in visual appearance across the full drop.
Wave curtns have certn advantages compared to other window treatment styles:
Minimized Stackback: Wave curtns have a smaller stacking space when fully closed, allowing for better utilization of interior spaces.
Clean and Contemporary Look: They offer an uncluttered aesthetic that complements minimalist or modern decor designs effectively.
Suitable fabrics for wave curtns include voiles, lined cottons, interlined silks with blackout lining, and other sheer materials. These fabrics are softer and more flexible, making them ideal candidates for the wave effect without sacrificing their structural integrity when held in place by the gliders and hooks.
To determine if a fabric will be suitable for wave curtns, we recomm conducting a simple test. Hold the top of the fabric to see how it naturally forms soft, gentle waves. The wave pattern should not require much effort to mntn its form; otherwise, the fabric may prove too stiff or heavy for the wave style.
