Wavefold/S Fold Curtain Track

Welcome to our revised Wavefold Collection page. We are happy to now offer a wave curtain track system on almost every track we carry. S Fold and Wavefold are interchangeable terms for our purposes. The wave drapery system is comprised of slides connected by a string that slides in the track. This, together with wavefold tape and hooks (sold separately) on the drapery panels, creates an elegant wavefold curtain track system with beautiful waves in the open and closed positions.

Comparing S Fold and Wavefold with other systems

Wave fold curtains use a special tape with loops. Plastic or metal hooks are used, instead of snap tape and snap pendants. It allows a lot more adjustability in determining the fullness ratio. The row of loops on the wave fold drapery tape is continuous, so it provides flexibility in spacing.

S fold curtains require slightly different hardware compared to pleated curtain styles. S fold tracks are available for both wall and ceiling mounting.

The versatility of wave fold curtain tracks makes them a popular choice for modern interiors, as they offer a sleek and contemporary look that complements various room designs. These tracks are crafted from high quality materials, ensuring durability and a smooth slide function. Whether installed in a living room, bedroom, or office space, wavefold curtains can enhance the aesthetic appeal of any window.
