Understanding Wave Fabric Choices and Installation
Choosing the Right Fabrics
In this example, we've opted for two different fabrics to showcase their versatility. The first, in this Understanding Wave post, is our popular Mimus fabric - a soft, beautifully draping fabric that pleats perfectly. It's a top choice for those who desire an elegant, light-diffusing look.
The second fabric we're featuring is our Horizon blackout fabric. As the name suggests, it offers total blackout capabilities with its three-pass coating. This lightweight matte finish fabric ensures a dark and peaceful ambience in your space.
Walk-Through Wave Curtains
One unique aspect of wave curtains is their ability to create gaps for easy passage. This is particularly handy for spaces with bifold or sliding doors, as you can walk through the curtains without pushing them aside. The elegant wave pattern ensures a beautiful, consistent drape.
Light Seepage and Solutions
While wave curtains provide excellent coverage, some light seepage can occur at the pelmet due to the pleat's nature. One solution is to use a pelmet, but this may compromise the aesthetic. Nevertheless, this minor seepage doesn't overshadow the curtain's beauty and functionality.
Dim Out vs. Blackout
If you're looking for complete darkness, our blackout fabric is the answer. It reduces light seepage significantly and also offers thermal benefits. The white back of the fabric reflects heat in the summer, keeping your space cool, and in the winter, it prevents heat from escaping.
We've even conducted thermal box testing, showing that our blackout curtains can reduce energy consumption by 30% when used with double-glazed windows. Save money on your energy bills while enjoying the perfect ambience.
The Dimout Fabric
Our dimout fabric is also a great choice. It may allow a tiny bit of light to pass through but remains an excellent option for those who prefer a bit of natural light. It's a versatile and cost-effective choice for any space.
Measuring for Wave Curtains
Proper measurement is crucial for the perfect fit. Measure from the underside of the track to the desired length, allowing a slight one-centimetre gap from the floor. This small gap accommodates any movement the fabric may experience over time due to temperature changes.
