Wave curtain tape is the strip sewn along the top of a wave curtain. Press studs along its length clip onto the wave runners, and the fixed spacing between them is what gives the curtain its even, continuous S-shaped folds.
We use white 3 cm tape and keep it on 50 m rolls in our UAE warehouse.

Which company sells good-quality wave curtain tape?
Choose a supplier that checks compatibility with your track, headings and ceiling rather than just selling a part. The tape, runners and track have to match; mixing brands is the usual reason a wave curtain pulls unevenly. Book a visit if you'd like it checked in person with Pak Middle East.

Why are wave curtains popular in Dubai apartments?
They stack neatly so more glass stays clear, and their regular folds suit tall apartment windows. See wave blackout curtains at Pak Middle East.
Is wave tape sewn or stuck on?

The wave tape is white, sewn at the back of the heading. Ask via Pak Middle East.
Do wave curtain tape come with a warranty?

How wave tape works
A wave curtain has no pleats sewn in. Instead, a tape with press studs is sewn along the heading, and the studs snap onto runners that are linked at a set distance. When the curtain is drawn, the fabric falls into identical waves between each pair of runners.
What we stock
- White woven tape, 3 cm wide
- Metal press studs along the length
- Supplied on 50 m rolls
It works as a set
The tape, the runners and the track have to match. Our tape clips onto our wave curtain runners, which run in our aluminium curtain track or the electric curtain track. Mixing brands is the usual reason a wave curtain pulls unevenly.
Why wave curtains suit UAE homes
Wave curtains stack neatly, so more of the glass stays clear when they are open, and their soft, regular folds suit the tall windows common in Dubai apartments. They work with both blackout and sheer fabrics.
Not sure whether you want wave or pleated? The hook curtain tape page explains the pleated alternative, or book a free visit and see both in person.

Wave curtain tape: the part that makes the wave
Wave curtain tape in Dubai is what turns a flat panel of fabric into the soft, regular folds that define a wave curtain. Unlike pinch pleat or pencil pleat headings, nothing is gathered or stitched into pleats; the shape comes entirely from the spacing of the tape and the runners it clips onto.
How wave curtain snap tape works
A wave curtain snap tape is sewn along the top of the curtain. Metal press studs run along its length, and each stud snaps onto a runner inside the track. Because the runners are linked at a fixed distance, every fold in the curtain is exactly the same size, which is why wave curtains look so calm and orderly.
The 3 cm tape we use
Our 3 cm wave tape is white and woven, with studs set along its length, and we keep it on 50 m rolls in our UAE warehouse. It is the same tape our workroom sews onto every wave curtain we make.
Why the set has to match
A wave curtain heading tape from one maker and runners from another rarely line up, and the curtain pulls into uneven waves or pops off its runners. We supply tape, runners and track together as one system, so the stud spacing and runner spacing always agree.
Why wave suits UAE homes
Wave curtains stack neatly to the side, so more of the glass stays clear when they are open, and their even folds suit the tall windows of Dubai apartments. They work with both blackout and sheer fabric, and they motorise well on an electric track.
For upholsterers and workrooms in Dubai and Sharjah we supply wave tape by the roll from stock.
