Wave is the heading that made curtain tracks visible again. Instead of hand-formed pleats, evenly spaced glide carriers on a corded track hold the fabric in a repeating S-curve from top to bottom. The result reads clean and architectural, which is why almost every new villa handover in Doha specifies it.
It is a system, not just a stitch: the track, the carriers, the tape and the fullness all have to match. Wave tape on a plain rod will not wave.

Frequently asked questions
How much fullness do wave curtains need?
Two times the track width is the working minimum and 2.2× gives the cleanest curve. Below 1.8× the wave flattens out and the curtain looks under-filled once it is hanging.
Can wave curtains hang on a normal rod?
No. Wave needs a corded track with glide carriers spaced to the tape. On a plain rod the fabric gathers randomly instead of forming an even S-curve.
Are wave curtains good for floor-to-ceiling windows?
They are the best heading for tall glass. The fold repeats evenly over the full drop, and because the stack is tight you lose less of the view when the curtain is open.
