🧵 Everything You Should Know Before Choosing S-Fold or Wave-Fold Curtains

1. What are S-fold or wave-fold curtains?

S-fold (also called wave-fold) curtains create soft, flowing waves using evenly spaced runners on a specialised track. They offer a clean, modern finish.

2. Are S-fold and wave-fold curtains the same?

They look the same when hung, but differ in construction. S-fold curtains use metal buttons sewn onto the tape, while wave-fold curtains use inserted hooks. Each needs a compatible track system.

3. Can I use S-fold curtains with my existing curtain track?

No — these styles need a specific S-fold or wave-fold track with evenly spaced gliders. Standard rods won’t create the correct wave effect.

4. Are S-fold curtains good for blockout or privacy?

Yes. Choose sheer, dim-out, or full blockout fabrics. For full privacy, pair blockout curtains with a ceiling-mounted track.

5. Do S-fold curtains cost more than other styles?

Yes — due to their precision hardware and premium finish. They're a popular upgrade for a designer look.

6. Can I get custom-made S-fold or wave-fold curtains?

Absolutely. We offer made-to-measure S-fold curtains to fit your space and style, with delivery across Australia.

7. What is the standard spacing for S-fold curtain tracks and tapes?

Most S-fold tracks use 60mm runner spacing with 18 gliders per metre. Curtain tape is 30mm wide, and buttons are spaced 125mm apart.

8. How wide should my curtain be for an S-fold track?

Based on tape with 125mm button spacing, a good rule is to use curtain fabric that’s 2.35× the track length. For example, a 3m track needs ~7.05m of fabric for full, elegant waves.
