Introduction to Wave Curtains

Hi, welcome to Easy Curtains. Wave curtains are all about the gliders on the track that create the signature wave form. You can see in the image here that there’s a small cord between the gliders. As you pull one glider along, it pulls the next one behind it, keeping them all evenly spaced across the track.

How the Wave Effect is Created

When you draw the curtains across, the evenly spaced gliders create that lovely undulating wave effect from top to bottom. This effect is entirely down to the gliders, not the curtains themselves — although we have used wave tape on these curtains, it’s not the tape that creates the wave. The magic is in the track gliders.

Spacing the Curtain Hooks

The spacing of the hooks on your curtains is also key. Your wave gliders should be set in from both the leading edges and the outside edges of your curtains by about six to seven pockets. The remaining hooks should then be spaced evenly across the rest of the curtain.

Achieving an Even, Pleasing Look

This even spacing ensures that the waves run consistently across the curtains when opened or closed, giving you that neat, balanced, and very pleasing appearance.
