STILLING PERFECT WAVE

Do you dream of new curtains with perfect waves, which are always the same size and evenly distributed along the curtain track? Then you need two things: Wave tape and wave gliders.

With more than 70 years of experience in curtain tracks and curtain accessories, we have developed “Stilling Perfect Wave.” The system is a range of curtain accessories which helps you achieve the most perfect ripple folds.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT WAVE TAPE

When it comes to curtains, you have a choice of many different pleats and looks. But in recent years, the most popular option is to have your curtains sewn with the so-called wave tape. This creates the most beautiful, soft waves in the fabric.

NO SHARP FOLDS

However, it’s not just a question of using any kind of wave tape. If the tape is too soft, the effect will be minimal, and if the tape is too stiff, there is a risk of it bending and creating sharp folds in the curtain fabric. The right wave tape is therefore essential to get perfect wavy curtains.

WAVE GLIDERS CREATE AN EVEN LOOK

While the wave tape creates beautiful and soft waves, the wave gliders ensure that every single ripple is the same size and shape. Aluproff’s various wave gliders are designed to create perfect functionality in interaction with our curtain tracks. Each track has it’s own, specially designed wave gliders.

The wave glider itself works like a regular glider, fastening the curtain fabric to the curtain track. But unlike a regular glider, the waveglider is attached to a string.

Therefore, when pulling the curtain, the gliders will follow one by one with exactly the same distance. The ripples on the curtain thus become equal in size and are evenly distributed.

Now you no longer need to straighten your curtains.

DO YOU WANT TO MAKE YOUR OWN ‘PERFECT WAVE’ CURTAINS?

If you want to sew your own curtains with Perfect Wave, you can buy both wave tape and wave gliders from Stilling at your local curtains specialist.

PERFECT TRACKS FOR PERFECT CURTAINS

The fabric is not the only important thing for your new curtains to get exactly the right look.

With a made to measure curtain track the curtain it placed at just the right height and width. And it moves seamlessly and silently when you draw it. And if you choose a curtain track, say, in black, gold or a custom-made lacquer color, the curtain fabric is highlighted. Which elevates the whole experience of the curtain solution and of your room.
