Ripple fold drapery

A Statement In Modern Flow and Form

The construction of ripple fold drapery, known for its consistent, flowing pleats, creates a modern and refined aesthetic. The precisely spaced folds generate a continuous, undulating drape, adding a sense of movement and sophistication to any space.

Ripple fold drapery excels in its ability to provide a clean, tailored look, enhancing the visual appeal of a room with its smooth, uniform folds. This design also offers versatile light control, ranging from sheer to blackout, while maintaining an elegant drape. And, with a range of fabric weights and textures, these draperies elevate the interior design of any room, both from the inside and outside perspectives

NY City Blinds provides ripple fold drapery with varying fullness options, allowing for customization of the drape and light control. We also offer blackout-lined ripple fold drapery, ideal for bedrooms and media rooms, promoting both privacy and a sophisticated atmosphere.

Specialty ripple fold drapery with unique fabric blends and hardware options are also available for maximum design impact, particularly beneficial in spaces seeking a contemporary and polished look.

RIPPLE FOLD DRAPES VS WAVE FOLD DRAPES

Ripple fold drapes are distinguished from wave fold drapes primarily by the fullness ratio – the distance between the folds in the drapes. In a ripple fold system, the curtains are prevented from pulling flat when closed.

RIPPLE FOLD DRAPES VS PINCH PLEAT DRAPES

We recommend ripple fold drapes for a refined, complex look with affordable pricing. Pinch Pleat Drapes (also called french pleat drapes) are the simplest pleats available. They offer a very traditional look with an adjustable pin location when we install them. Pinch Pleat Drapes are a bit more of a basic look and have become more common over the years. Nonetheless, they are extremely affordable and come in many different fabric types.

OPENING AND CLOSING RIPPLE FOLD DRAPES

We have two options for opening/closing ripple fold curtains. Choose between baton or cord systems. Depending on the type of access you want for your drapes, we’ll help you choose what works best. This depends on furniture and features in your space that may block access. A baton will make it easy to open and close ripple fold drapes without the need to climb all over the furniture to get to it.

MASTER CARRIERS AND RIPPLE FOLD DRAPES

A Master Carrier is a mechanism that holes your ripple fold drapes to the top of the window. When you pull on your baton, the master carrier will pull the drapes together.

We’ll help you choose which type of master carrier will work best for your windows. Overlap master carriers and butt-master carriers are the most common types offered.

Depending on whether you have blackout blinds, the overlap master carrier may be the best choice because it ensures the best coverage and light blocking. For style and looking nice, butt-master carriers offer better ripples.
