For over 35 years, the art of creating custom made curtains and drapes has been our family’s livelihood.
There's nothing quite like the look and feel of custom curtains such as tailored S Fold drapes or Wave Fold sheers. They can transform any room and be tailored to complement both modern and traditional interiors.
Good quality custom curtains can also make a room appear larger than it is. Our custom-made drapes, sheers and curtains are a great insulator for your home, they can control the light in your home and help achieve your design vision.
Transform any room into a designer masterpiece using soft furnishings. Our consultants are experts in providing design guidance. We source the best quality products and use only recognized industry-leading brands for our Wave Fold and S Fold sheers and drapes.
Custom Wave and S Fold sheers and curtains are a great option as a window covering in your home for a number of reasons. Our professional team can supply and install curtains tailored to match your interior style with a great range of benefits, including:
Light Blockage – There is no better solution today than fully backed curtain fabric that can block 99% of light coming into a room whilst also providing the best insulation from heat and cold. With good quality curtains, you can obtain excellent light control, insulation and privacy.
Sound Reduction – The fabric of curtains may deflect and absorb some of the noise and assist with stopping some sound from escaping. Creating a quieter home for you and your family.
Energy Savers – The insulative benefits of curtains can help you stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. They give you complete control over the amount of sun entering and have great insulation qualities to allow heat not to escape in winter and keep the heat out during summer. Installing drapes with lining will have a significant impact on your energy consumption and potentially even save you money.
Add Value to Your Home – Wave and S Fold sheers and curtains provide a look like no other product can. A soft and elegant appeal can add dramatic value to any home buyer. They can also add the illusion of larger windows and height to a room to make it appear grander than it actually is.
Wave and S Fold sheers are a great accessory for your window furnishings, providing a classy warm feel, whilst providing an elegant appearance and enhancing the effectiveness of your curtains and drapes.

Love the look of the curtains in those fancy up-market boutique stores or hotels? Then you’ve probably been drooling over gorgeous Wave Fold curtains or S-Fold curtains!
Wave Fold curtains or S-fold sheer curtains get their names from the shape they create. If you took a bird’s eye view of an S-fold curtain you would see the soft “S” shape created by the specially designed track.
The fabric is not pleated like the traditional pencil pleat or triple pinch pleat (see alternative Heading Styles below) as the S-fold is not formally pleated but held in place by the track with special poly-carbonate carriers. We call them S-fold as most people are familiar with this term.
Sleek and subtle to the eye, the S-fold and wave fold sheers have a modern appearance with gently and continuously folded drapery from the beginning to the end. It is common for these sheers curtains to be raised from floor to ceiling and extended wall to wall to create a grand aesthetic. The perfect shape of the fabric is created by the uniquely designed track. No pleats or gathers are needed to create this stylish look.
Perfect for large expanses, S-fold sheer curtains or Wave Fold curtains can be used to unify multiple windows or large expanses by covering an entire wall. Ripple Fold drapery glides along a low-profile track that seamlessly blends with your wall or ceiling, making it a great solution for corners, floor-to-ceiling windows or other hard to manage spaces.
This style of pleating used on S Fold drapes or Wave Fold sheers is suitable for use with hand-drawn, corded and motorised curtain tracks. They are very well suited for tracks that need to be curved to accommodate bends when 2 windows at right angles are treated with one continuous curved track.
We can help you decide between a manual or motorised system, a minimal or feature hardware system. S-Fold tracks can be ceiling fixed or wall fixed depending upon the look you want. By ceiling mounting the track you can achieve a dramatic look and help give the impression of a higher ceiling.
A ‘Butt Master Carrier’ can be used to further reduce stack-back. Curtains simply snap on and off the Ripple Fold or S Fold tape.
S-Fold tracks are available in numerous colours with white and anodised silver being the most popular, and can allow for a double track. Whether you love the look of decorative sheer fabrics or a block-out lined fabric, the Ripple Fold track can accommodate either style. If you want the best of both worlds, you can even have a decorative sheer on the front track and block-out lining on the rear. Ripple Fold tracks are so versatile!
Choosing the right curtain heading is vital in deciding what drape style is ideal for you. Each varying style of heading offers a different look and different amount of fabric fullness which then has different effects on the final look and cost. Here is a selection of our most popular curtain heading styles:
Pencil pleats provide a professional and luxurious finish to curtains.
Ripple fold curtains (also known S-fold curtains due to their s-shaped lines) are a great window treatment for interiors.
Also known as triple Pinch Pleat are pinched in-groups of three.

We also offer range of alternative colours to suit your needs: brass, antique brass, black nickel and zinc.
