Window Treatments
Ripplefold Curtains
Ripplefold curtains (also called S-fold or wave fold) create uniform, undulating S-curves along a track system, producing a contemporary aesthetic that suits modern architecture and minimalist interiors. The consistent wave pattern reads as sleek and sophisticated.
Unlike traditional pleated curtains, ripplefold panels glide smoothly on ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted tracks, creating a clean, uncluttered look. The uniform folds fall naturally from carriers that snap into the track, eliminating the need for pins or hooks.
