Calculation of stack back
For every 1m of track use 18cm of stacking back. Obviously, this is cumulative if the recess is 240cm then add on for the necessary stacking. In this example 300cm for the track length. Allowing 30cm over each side.

Thank you very much for the lovely video, if my floor to ceiling drop is 260 and I’m going to fit a somfy 35 electric track on my ceiling, any idea what’s the drop I should order my wave curtains in ?
Thank you

[@Direct-Fabricscouk]

I would highly recommend you fit the track first then you have somewhere to measure from. If not it would be the profile depth of the track assuming it attaches directly to the ceiling. Less 1 to 2cm to have it float off the floor. Thanks

Hello, great vid! - I’m about to order some curtains and want this style. So for example if my window width is 140 inches, I really need to order 280 inches? Bit confused about this

[@Direct-Fabricscouk]

Thank you for the question, you can order whatever size you want. With a wave curtain it will need to be wide enough for the number of gliders on the track. So it tends to work out at roughly 2.2x the track length. But it really depends on the number of gliders.
When you order from our website you simply enter the track width and we will calculate how wide the curtain needs to be, Also you will enter the number of gliders in a seperate box. We call every customer to double check on a wave order so no mistakes happen.
Any questions then please email the team at [e-mail]

Fantastic very helpful video, could you please tell me if the wave curtains can be hanged from a curtain bar? Thank you

[@Direct-Fabricscouk]

Assume you mean a pole. I think there are some rings available with the cord attached to them. Worst Case you could make them yourself. It is all about having a cord between of 80mm or 60mm to set the wave pleat.

@@Direct-Fabricscouk Thank you for the immediate response. Thank you!!!

[@basicsurfer08]

will this block light from side and the top? thanks

[@Direct-Fabricscouk]

Light Seepage is always and issue with curtains. The way to get around this is going floor to ceiling and, even then you can still get light seepage around your curtains. If you use a wave curtain then a rebated track into the ceiling or a pelmet board will stop the light seepage and going past the window by 30-50cm.
