The heading tape clips onto carriers on the track. A cord or tape sets the spacing, so the folds stay even whether the curtain is open or closed.
Track Options
| Track | Notes |
|---|---|
| Wave track, single | One layer, ceiling or wall fixed |
| Wave track, double | Sheer and blockout layers together |
| Motorised wave track | Remote or smart control on wide runs |
| Standard track or rod | Not suitable - folds will not stay even |
Where Wave Curtains Suit
- Sliding doors and stacker doors. Curtains glide smoothly and stack neatly.
- Wide windows. Even folds look tidy along long runs.
- Ceiling-height installs. A ceiling-fixed wave track gives a clean, modern line.
Fullness and Stacking Space
- Fullness. Usually 2 to 2.5 times the track width.
- Stacking. Open curtains need about 15% to 25% of the track width to stack. Plan it beside the opening so doors are not blocked.
- One-way or centre-opening. One-way stacks everything on one side, useful next to a wall.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is S-fold the same as wave?
Yes. Both describe the even S-shaped folds made by a wave heading on a wave track.
Can I use wave curtains on a curtain rod?
Not properly. The folds need the carriers and spacing cord of a wave track.
Are wave curtains good for sliding doors?
Yes. They glide easily and stack neatly, and can be set to stack on one side.
Can wave curtains be motorised?
Yes, on a compatible motorised wave track. Check the system supports wave carriers.
