Ripple fold drapery is another popular style of window treatment that is known for its modern and clean look. It features evenly spaced,

uniform folds that create a continuous wave-like pattern when the drapery is open or closed.

This style is commonly used in both residential and commercial settings. 

Here’s how ripple fold drapery is typically created:

Track Selection: Ripple fold drapery requires a specific type of track system designed to accommodate the unique gliders used to create the ripples. The track should be installed securely and at the desired height and width of the window.

Fabric Selection: Choose a fabric that is suitable for ripple fold drapery. Typically, a lightweight and medium-weight fabric with a good drape is preferred for this style. Sheer fabrics are commonly used for a light and airy feel, while heavier fabrics can provide more privacy and light control.

Measurements: Measure the width and height of your window or the area where you want to hang the drapery. The width of the fabric panels should be approximately 1.5 to 2 times the width of the window to allow for the ripple effect.

Glider Attachment: Attach ripple fold gliders to the top edge of the fabric panels. These gliders have built-in hooks that fit into the track system. The gliders should be evenly spaced along the width of the panel, ensuring that they are securely attached.

Hanging: Slide the gliders into the track system, starting from one end of the track. Ensure that the gliders are inserted properly and smoothly glide along the track. Continue until all panels are hung.

Finishing Touches: Once the panels are hung, adjust and align the folds to create an even and consistent ripple effect. You can gently manipulate the fabric to achieve the desired look. Steam or iron the drapery panels to remove any wrinkles and ensure a smooth appearance.

Ripple fold drapery offers a sleek and contemporary aesthetic. It provides a clean and uniform appearance both when the drapery is open or closed, with the panels stacking neatly and compactly. The continuous ripples add visual interest and can enhance the overall design of a room.
