When it comes to selecting curtains, one of the most critical factors to consider is their sewing type. The sewing type not only determines the uniformity but also shapes the entire aesthetic appeal of the curtains. In this guide, we’ll explore two of the most popular options currently available on the market: Classic Double-Pleated Curtains and Ripple-Fold (also known as S-Fold) Curtains.

Double-pleated Curtains

Double-pleated curtains, as their name suggests, are sewn with a dual-fold at the top, resulting in a pinch-pleated look. This style of curtains is known for its ease of maintenance and often has a casual, relaxed appearance. One of the signature features of double-pleated curtains is their looser, less rigid flow. They also take up less space, which is commonly favored in newer residential projects such as BTOs and condominiums, where space optimisation is often a consideration.

One of the upsides of double-pleated curtains lies in their flexibility to switch out fabric easily without the need to replace the track system. Compatibility is almost never an issue with this classic option. This flexibility is particularly advantageous as it allows you to update the look of your space without undergoing the hassle and expense of installing a new track.

Ripple-fold Curtains

This season’s top favorite, the Ripple-fold Curtain, is an intricate sewing type that demands precision. Each fold is meticulously sewn onto a unique taping tailored to the track system, ensuring impeccably structured and uniformly waved folds. This style exudes luxurious elegance, instantly elevating any space, even if it hasn’t undergone extensive renovation or decoration. One could boldly claim it as the essence of any space it’s installed in.

There’s a saying that goes, “Beauty comes at a price”, and indeed, that holds true for Ripple-fold Curtains. The price point is notably higher than our classic Double-pleated Sewing. Not just that, its track system makes it unique to each set of fabric. If you wish to change the curtain, you must ensure compatibility and source for a track taping that matches your existing one. Otherwise, your best option is replacing the entire track system, which, let’s face it, incurs additional costs.

In addition, due to its structured nature, we also recommend specific cleaning methods that interferes least with its structure. Tossing it in the washing machine in this case just doesn’t seem wise. Instead, consider Steam Cleaning. While this cleaning method costs more, steam cleaning lets the fabric hangs at its original state and helps to maintain the fabric’s integrity, which ultimately extends its longevity. That said, we dare argue its all worth it. Just look at the end results of some our favourite projects.

In summary, selecting the right curtains can significantly enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of your home. To ensure long-term satisfaction, consider factors such as material, color, and maintenance needs.
