Wave Tracks

Please note that wave curtains need a wave track (not a standard track) to hang from. For wave tracks:

●       The gliders are interconnected to each other and move along with a cord.

●       Each glider pulls the next one behind until all the gliders create even spaces across the whole track.

●       All gliders will be in their hooking positions to form the waves. Generally, the glider-cord spacing between every two gliders is either 2⅜" or 3⅛".

We recommend that you buy a wave track before ordering wave curtains. Please click here and enter your address to find your local wave track suppliers. Alternatively, you could search "wave track" online. 

Please don't hesitate to contact us with your track details if you have any questions. Please email info@voilavoile.com

Guidelines for Measuring

Curtain Drop

●      Measure from the bottom of the wave track to the floor level. 

●      We recommend that floor-length curtains finish approx. 1" above the floor. Otherwise, you may not get the curtain waves to hang straight and the curtains may drag or break on the floor.

Curtain Width

●      Enter the wave track width and the total number of gliders on the track,

●      Select single/pair, wave type and fullness.

●      The finished curtain width will be calculated automatically. 

Number of Gliders

●      Please provide the total number of hooks/gliders/hook points on the wave track.

●      Please note that the finished curtain width is based on the number of gliders you provided.

E.g. if there are 28 gliders on a wave track:

■      on single stack curtains there are 28 hooks.

■      on pair stack curtains there are 14 x 2 hooks.

●      The finished curtain comes with the hooks. You can hang the curtain just below the wave track.

Calculate the number of gliders - 2⅜" wave>>

Calculate the number of gliders - 3⅛" wave>>

Please notice the number of gliders should be even number as one of the curtain edges returns to the front if you provide an odd number of hook points/gliders. 

Wave Type

Wave tracks have two sizes of glider cord to create a deeper or shallower wave style.

●      2⅜" Wave is the space between every two hooks/gliders. The curtain waves are smaller.

●      3⅛" Wave is the space between every two hooks/gliders. The curtain waves are bigger.

*If the spaces between every two hooks/gliders are bigger or smaller than the waves above, we can still ensure that your curtains will be evenly distributed on the hooks/gliders if you choose one of the waves above.

Please note that the actual curtain waves may be slightly deeper or shallower.

Wave Curtain Approx. Fullness
2.3x fullness offers a larger wave and a deeper curtain stack depth than a 2.1x fullness wave curtain.

3⅛" Wave, Approx. Fullness = 2.1 

●       The first/last hook goes into the 8th pocket from both ends.

●       Other hooks are inserted every 14th pocket (this means there will be 13 empty pockets).

3⅛" Wave, Approx. Fullness = 2.3 

●       The first/last hook goes into the 8th pocket from both ends.
