‍

Wave curtains work very well with wide, and high windows.

• Because the way the Wave curtain is instealled using a rigid Silent Gliss tape, the curtains keep a neat formation, even when closed
• With most curtains being installed on a top fit track system, it offers a smooth and minimalist look, even on extra large windows

‍

• As Wave curtains hang under the track, and with the combination of the curtain material being both in front and behind (creating the Wave finish), the curtains stack back in the tight way
• This allows maximum light when the curtains are open
• It allows the curtains to take up the least amount of space, where as pinch pleat or pencil pleat would cover more of the window, which is a big positive factor for many clients

‍

Wave curtains aren't the best for light sensitive sleepers

• The Wave curtain pleat hangs under the track
  
  • unlike pinch pleats which can cover the track, the rigid Wave pleat is installed underneath, allowing a little more light through the top of the curtains
• No overlap
  
  • Due to the pleat style and how the curtains hang,the curtains can't overlap in the middle when closed
    
    • This means there is usually a light gap where the curtains meet

‍

Overall Wave curtains are suitable for most homes, especially those wanting a modern feel and style. With a variety of materials, sheer and blackout options, and install systems both sleek and ornate, you can get all the style you want for your home.
