Wave — also called ripple fold — replaces the gathered top of a traditional curtain with a continuous, uniform S-curve. The fabric is carried on a corded tape and a special track that holds every fold at exactly the same spacing, so the curtain looks deliberate whether it is fully drawn or stacked at the side.
On the tall, uninterrupted glazing common in Dubai towers it is the heading that looks right; a pencil pleat on a four-metre drop can look fussy where a wave looks architectural.

Questions
Wave Style Blackout Curtains — your questions
Where can I buy wave blackout curtains in Dubai?
Pak Home makes wave blackout curtains to measure in Dubai and fits them with its own team. Blackout fabric from books 301, 302 and 303 is carried on a corded wave track that holds every fold in the same S-curve. The free home visit brings samples to you and ends with one written price. Start by booking a visit with Pak Middle East.
Which company makes good-quality wave blackout curtains in Dubai?
Choose a supplier that measures in your home, makes to those measurements and includes fitting in the price. With wave, check the fullness — Pak Home cuts at 2.5× the track width — and that the quote includes a proper corded wave track. Pak Home works that way and quotes one fixed figure per window. Compare it with any quote you have by booking a free visit with Pak Middle East.
What are wave or ripple fold curtains?
Wave, also called ripple fold, replaces a gathered top with a continuous S-curve held at exactly the same spacing by a corded track, so the folds stay even whether the curtain is open or closed. See the wave track parts at Pak Middle East.
Where can I buy wave curtains in Dubai?
Pak Home makes wave blackout curtains to measure in Dubai from AED 785 for a 2m × 3m window, fitted, including the corded wave track. Book a free visit with Pak Middle East.
How much should I pay for wave blackout curtains?
Wave blackout curtains start from AED 785 for a 2m × 3m window, fully fitted, up to AED 973 in the signature range. The corded wave track is included in that price. Your figure depends on the measured width and drop. Get a figure for your sizes at Pak Middle East.
What's included in the price of wave blackout curtains?
For wave blackout curtains: fabric, tailoring, the corded wave track, runners, brackets, the measuring visit and installation are all in one figure. There's no delivery fee, and the measuring visit is free. Motorisation, if you want it, is quoted as a separate line. See exactly what the one price covers at Pak Middle East.
Are wave curtains good for floor-to-ceiling windows?
Yes, that's where they look best: on tall tower glazing a wave looks architectural, while a pencil pleat on a four-metre drop can look fussy. See wave sheers for daytime too at Pak Middle East.
Can I use wave curtains on my existing track?
No. Wave needs a track with correctly spaced, corded runners; on an ordinary track the folds collapse. The wave track is included in Pak Home's price. See the aluminium track at Pak Middle East.
Who measures and fits wave blackout curtains?
Pak Home's own team measures and installs; it doesn't subcontract, which is why the warranty covers installation too. They set the track so the wave repeat divides evenly across the run. Book the measuring visit with Pak Middle East.
Can someone come to measure my windows for wave blackout curtains?
Yes, free and with no obligation in all seven emirates. The team measures every window, checks the wall or ceiling, and leaves a written quote. They check whether your window is wide enough for the wave repeat to develop. See what happens on the visit at Pak Middle East.
Can I get same-day wave blackout curtains in Dubai?
Same-day fitting isn't guaranteed, because wave blackout curtains are made to your measurements. Most orders are fitted within 2–3 days of approving the quote, since the fabric is already in the UAE, and express turnaround can be quoted separately. Share your deadline with Pak Middle East to check the earliest slot.
Why are wave curtains more expensive than pleated?
They use more fabric — about 2.5× the track width against 2.0× for a pencil pleat — and need a corded wave track. Cutting the fabric leaner flattens the wave. Compare prices at Pak Middle East.
Do wave curtains suit small windows?
Not really. Wave needs width to develop its repeat; on a window about a metre wide you get a few folds and none of the effect, so a pinch pleat may suit better. Ask for advice via Pak Middle East.
Do you install wave blackout curtains in Sharjah and the other emirates?
Yes. Wave blackout curtains from Pak Home are fitted in Sharjah, Ajman, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain as well as Dubai, at the same prices and with no travel charge. Check coverage for your area at Pak Middle East.
Can I order wave blackout curtains online in the UAE?
You can start online: enter your window size in the estimator for a price, or send your measurements for a quote. Because wave blackout curtains are made to your exact window, the team recommends measuring before anything is made. Share your measurements with Pak Middle East.
How much space do wave curtains need when open?
They stack deeper: plan roughly a fifth of the track width in bundled fabric at each end, and extend the track past the glass so the stack doesn't cover the window. See how measuring works at Pak Middle East.
Do wave blackout curtains block light fully?
Yes. The fabric is the same full-density blackout from books 301, 302 and 303; edge light is controlled by running the track wide and dropping to the floor. See blackout fabrics at Pak Middle East.
Is there a discount on wave blackout curtains for several windows?
Yes. The volume discount on wave blackout curtains is automatic: 5% on orders from AED 2,000 up to 30% above AED 12,000. You don't have to ask, and wave blackout curtains can be combined with curtains or blinds for other rooms in the same order. See how it applies in the estimator at Pak Middle East.
Can wave curtains be motorised?
Yes. A wave track takes a motor well, and it suits the long, wide runs where wave is used. Motorisation is quoted separately. See motorised curtains at Pak Middle East.
Do wave curtains need ironing or dressing after washing?
Much less than pleats: the track holds each fold, so the curtain falls back into shape. Blackout is still dry cleaned rather than washed. Ask about care via Pak Middle East.
Can I see samples of wave blackout curtains before ordering?
Yes, for wave blackout curtains: all four physical fabric books come to your home on the free visit, and you can also have up to four swatches delivered free. Colour reads differently against your own window light, so it's worth seeing in the room. Ask for samples through Pak Middle East.
What fold depths are available for wave curtains?
Wave repeats of 60, 80 or 100 mm, set by the runner spacing. The team chooses the repeat to suit the width and fabric. See wave runners at Pak Middle East.
Can I have wave blackout with a wave sheer in front?
Yes. Both layers in matched wave folds on a double corded track is the wave double layer, from AED 1,285 for 2m × 3m, fitted. See it at Pak Middle East.
Can wave blackout curtains be made for a large or unusual window?
Wave suits long runs, sliding doors and full walls of glass; the track is extended to allow for a deeper stack. The team checks the opening, the fixing and access at the visit before quoting. Book it with Pak Middle East.
Which blackout fabric suits a wave heading best?
Book 301 at 290 gsm falls in an even S-curve; book 303 at 260 gsm forms it with less effort; book 302 at 300 gsm gives a deeper, slower fold. Compare books at Pak Middle East.
Do wave blackout curtains come with a warranty?
Yes. Pak Home's wave blackout curtains carry 12 months on the track, stitching and installation, with fabric covered against manufacturing defects. Sun fading over years, incorrect cleaning and accidental damage aren't covered. Read the full terms at Pak Middle East.
Do wave curtains suit a majlis?
Yes, on wide majlis openings wave keeps the line quiet across the span. Long runs need the track supported properly. Book a visit with Pak Middle East.
Are wave curtains suitable for sliding doors?
Yes, wave is ideal for sliding doors as long as there's wall beside the frame for the stack, so the door stays clear when open. Book a visit to check with Pak Middle East.
What's the lead time for wave blackout curtains?
Most wave blackout curtains orders are fitted within 2–3 days of approving the quotation. Large villa orders get a firm date at quote stage. Confirm your date with Pak Middle East.
How do I get a quote for wave blackout curtains?
Book a free measuring visit for a written, fixed quote on your wave blackout curtains, or send your window sizes for an initial figure. Nothing is due until you approve the price; a deposit is paid at order and the balance on completion. Start with Pak Middle East.

What makes a wave curtain different
In a conventional heading the fabric is gathered and pinched at the top, and the folds below find their own way down — which is why they wander, and why you end up dressing them by hand after every wash. Wave holds the fold at the track itself. Each runner is spaced at a fixed distance by the cording, so the S repeats identically all the way across and all the way down. It is the only heading that genuinely stays neat without being fussed over.
It needs the right track
This is not a heading you can retrofit to an existing rail. Wave requires a track with correctly spaced, corded runners; on an ordinary track the folds collapse and you have paid for a look you will not get. The track is included in our price, and if you already have one fitted we will tell you plainly whether it can carry a wave or not.
Fabric use is higher — and that is the point
Wave runs at around 2.5 times the track width against 2.0 for a pencil pleat. That extra fabric is what creates the depth of the curve; cut it leaner to save money and the wave flattens into something that just looks like a badly hung curtain. We do not quote wave below its proper fullness, because the result is not worth selling.
Where it works, and where it does not
Wave belongs on long horizontal runs — sliding doors, full walls of glass, wide majlis openings. It needs room to develop the repeat, so on a narrow window barely a metre across you will get three folds and none of the effect. For small windows a pinch pleat or an eyelet gives a better result for less money, and we will say so.
Stack-back
Because there is more fabric, a wave curtain stacks deeper when open. On a wide opening plan for roughly a fifth of the track width in bundled fabric at each end, and extend the track past the glass accordingly. Ignore this and a beautifully made wave curtain will spend its life covering the edges of the view it was bought to frame.

Wave blackout: the modern heading on long runs
A wave heading runs on a corded track that holds the fabric in a continuous S-curve. There are no pleat groups, so the fold repeats evenly from one end of the run to the other.
Why it suits full-height glazing
On a long uninterrupted span — the common apartment situation here — a pinch pleat divides the window into sections and a wave does not. The line stays quiet, which is usually what that architecture wants.
It is the hungriest heading
Wave is cut at 2.5x: a three-metre track takes seven and a half metres of cloth. That is the main reason a wave quote sits above a pinch pleat quote for the same window, and it is not a place to economise — the curve depends on the surplus.
It needs a track, not a pole
The wave is created by the carriers, so the system is part of the heading rather than an accessory. It also means the stack is deeper than a pinch pleat, so the track wants more wall beside the glass.
Blackout on a wave
The same edge rules apply as any blackout: past the glass, overlapped in the middle, floor length. If the room also wants daylight privacy, the double-layer wave puts a sheer on a second channel.
What wave blackout curtains cost in Dubai, and what the quote covers
Anyone pricing wave blackout curtains dubai is really pricing three things: the fabric or material, the making, and the fitting. We quote them as one figure per window rather than as a fabric price with extras arriving later, so the number you approve includes the track or fixings and the installation. Some people search for this as ripple fold blackout curtains uae; it is the same product. Prices move with the size of the opening and, for curtains, with the fullness the heading needs — which is why two quotations for the same window can differ without either being wrong. The price estimator gives you a figure for your own measurements before anyone visits, and the measuring visit itself is free across Dubai, Sharjah and the northern emirates.
