CURTAINS WITH PERFECT WAVES
STILLING PERFECT WAVE™
Do you dream of curtains with flawless, uniform waves that are evenly distributed along the curtain track? Many people think that it simply achieved by the fabric being sewn with wave tape, but actually the curtain track is just as important when creating perfect waves.
With over 70 years of expertise in curtain tracks and accessories, we proudly present the “Stilling Perfect Wave™” system. This innovative range of curtain accessories is designed to help you create the most perfect ripple folds, ensuring your curtains always hang beautifully with consistent, evenly spaced waves.

WAVETAPE CREATES SOFT WAVES
When choosing curtains, the variety of pleats and styles can be overwhelming. In recent years, wave tape has emerged as the most popular choice, offering an elegant solution for creating soft, flowing waves in the fabric.
NO HARD EDGES
Not all wave tapes are created equal. The key to achieving those beautiful, smooth waves lies in selecting the right tape. If the tape is too soft, the waves may not hold their shape, resulting in a less defined look. Conversely, if the tape is too stiff, it can cause unwanted sharp folds in the fabric.
Therefore, choosing the correct wave tape is crucial to ensure your curtains drape perfectly with the gentle, consistent waves you desire.
WAVE GLIDERS CREATE EVENLY SIZED WAVES
Wave tape is renowned for creating beautiful, soft waves in curtains, but it’s the wave gliders that ensure every ripple is uniform in size and shape.
Stilling’s range of wave gliders is meticulously designed to work seamlessly with our curtain tracks, with each track featuring its own specially crafted wave gliders for optimal functionality.
Wave gliders function much like regular gliders, securing the curtain fabric to the track. However, what sets them apart is their attachment to a string. This design innovation ensures that when you pull the curtain, each glider moves in perfect unison, maintaining an equal distance between them. As a result, the ripples in the curtain are consistently uniform and evenly distributed.
With wave gliders, there’s no need to constantly adjust or straighten your curtains—they’ll always hang perfectly.
WAVE HANGER CREATES PERFECT ENDINGS
The first and last wave in a wave curtain are the most important visually. If the wave hangs or sags in the corners, it affects the appearance of the entire curtain. With the wave hanger, the first and last folds of the curtain are attached at two points instead of one, ensuring the last fold is always taut and neat.
The effect of the wave hanger is particularly pronounced when using soft fabrics such as linen or wool.
WAVE STOPPER KEEPS THE WAVES IN PLACE
A sublime gliding performance is the core feature of a Stilling® curtain track, but it is also the same gliding ability that makes it difficult to keep a wave curtain in place when it’s drawn together. The resistance in the wave tape tends to pull the curtain open. The final accessory in the ‘Stilling Perfect Wave™’ series is therefore the wave stopper, also known as a brake. The wave stopper is mounted around the first and last glider, creating the necessary resistance to keep the curtain in place.

PERFECT TRACKS FOR PERFECT CURTAINS
While the fabric is crucial for achieving the desired look for your new curtains, it’s not the only factor that matters. A made-to-measure curtain track plays a vital role in ensuring your curtains hang at the perfect height and width, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.
With a custom curtain track, your curtains glide seamlessly and silently, providing a smooth and effortless experience every time you draw them. Additionally, choosing a curtain track in a striking colour—such as black, gold, or a custom lacquer finish—can beautifully accentuate the curtain fabric, elevating the entire curtain solution and enhancing the ambiance of your room.
