Why so many South Africans are choosing wave curtains
Wave curtains (also called ripple fold curtains) are loved for their soft, structured elegance and effortless operation. Here’s why they’re quickly becoming the go-to curtain style for contemporary interior design.
Ideal for wide windows and sliding doors
Their glide system works great on large openings and stack-back areas. Wave curtains move silently, making them perfect for stacking doors, and open-plan spaces.
Low maintenance, whisper-quiet operation
The discreet track and heading tape are designed to stay neat and aligned. Curtains draw open and closed silently, and don’t require constant adjustment or reshaping.
Smart home ready
Motorised tracks and curtain railing allow you to open and close your curtains with a remote, phone app, or even your voice. Schedule it to open at sunrise and close at night, perfect for busy homeowners.
Minimalist look that works with any décor
Thanks to their soft, ripple-like shape, wave curtains suit modern, coastal, minimalist, or even luxe interiors. Choose from sheers to blackouts and hundreds of designer fabrics.

Frequently asked questions
What are wave curtains?
Wave curtains (also called ripple fold or S-fold curtains) hang in a continuous, evenly spaced wave from a special track. The result is a soft, flowing ripple that looks neat whether the curtains are open or closed. They suit modern, coastal and minimalist interiors, and work beautifully on wide windows and sliding doors.
How much do wave curtains cost in South Africa?
Our wave curtains start from R3,990, which includes the wave track and two drops, or R1,740 per single drop. Your final price depends on the fabric you choose, the width and drop of your windows, and whether you add motorisation. Send us your measurements for an accurate, no-obligation quote.
Can wave curtains be motorised?
Yes. We fit quiet motorised tracks that let you open and close your wave curtains by remote, phone app or voice. You can also schedule them to open at sunrise and close at night, ideal for large windows, high ceilings and smart homes.
What fabrics can I choose for wave curtains?
You can choose sheer fabrics for a soft, light-filtering look, lined fabrics for added privacy and a fuller drape, or blackout fabrics for total darkness and insulation. We carry hundreds of designer fabrics from leading suppliers, so you can match any room and style.
Do you install wave curtains in Ballito and Johannesburg?
Yes. We measure and install across Ballito and the Dolphin Coast, in Johannesburg, and we courier nationwide with trusted installer referrals in major towns and cities. Professional installation ensures accurate measurements and smooth, silent operation.
Why choose wave curtains over pinch pleat or other heading styles?
Wave curtains give the cleanest, most modern look of all the heading styles. They stack back neatly, glide silently, and need almost no reshaping. Pinch pleat, pencil pleat and eyelet styles each have their place, but wave is the go-to choice for contemporary, open-plan and coastal homes.
