Everything the layered pair does, with both curtains carried on wave tracks so the folds of the sheer and the blackout line up behind one another. When the blackout is stacked away the sheer still reads as a clean architectural run; when it is drawn, the room goes fully dark without losing the line.
It is the most expensive way we make a curtain and it is the one interior designers specify, because nothing else looks like it on a long window.

Questions
Wave Style Blackout & Sheer — your questions
Where can I buy wave blackout and sheer curtains in Dubai?
Pak Home makes wave blackout and sheer curtains to measure in Dubai and fits them with its own team. A chiffon sheer (book 401) and a blackout (book 301, 302 or 303) run on a double corded wave track with matched folds. 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 and sheer curtains in Dubai?
Choose a supplier that measures in your home, makes to those measurements and includes fitting in the price. With a wave double layer, check that both tracks are corded to the same repeat and that there's around 15 cm of clearance. 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.
Is the wave double layer worth the price?
Honestly, on large windows and generous budgets. On a standard bedroom window the gain over a well-made pleated pair is small; on a double-height majlis or a glazed wall onto a terrace nothing else looks like it. Compare with the pleated version at Pak Middle East.
Why do the folds need to line up on a wave double layer?
If both tracks aren't corded to the same repeat, the sheer's curves cross the blackout's at random and you see a moiré of competing folds. Pak Home matches the repeat. Book a visit with Pak Middle East.
How much should I pay for wave blackout and sheer curtains?
Wave blackout and sheer curtains start from AED 1,285 for a 2m × 3m window, fully fitted, up to AED 1,580 in the signature range. It's the most refined setup Pak Home makes and the one most often specified for new villa handovers. 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 and sheer curtains?
For wave blackout and sheer curtains: both curtains, tailoring, the double 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.
How much space from the wall does a double wave track need?
Around 15 cm, more than any other setup. A villa with a curtain pocket handles it easily; a shallow apartment bulkhead sometimes can't, and the team will say so. Book the check with Pak Middle East.
Can both wave layers be motorised separately?
Yes. One button draws the sheer for daytime privacy, another closes the blackout for the evening — invaluable on a six-metre majlis opening. Motorisation is quoted separately. See motorised curtains at Pak Middle East.
Who measures and fits wave blackout and sheer curtains?
Pak Home's own team measures and installs; it doesn't subcontract, which is why the warranty covers installation too. They align the fold repeat of both tracks so the sheer's curves sit directly in front of the blackout's. Book the measuring visit with Pak Middle East.
Can someone come to measure my windows for wave blackout and sheer 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 that a shallow bulkhead can take the 15 cm projection. See what happens on the visit at Pak Middle East.
Can I get same-day wave blackout and sheer curtains in Dubai?
Same-day fitting isn't guaranteed, because wave blackout and sheer curtains are made to your measurements. Most orders are fitted within 2–3 days of approving the quote, and express turnaround can be quoted separately. Large villa orders get a firm date, and both layers take a little longer than a single curtain. Share your deadline with Pak Middle East to check the earliest slot.
Do interior designers specify wave double layers?
Often — it's the setup designers specify because nothing else looks like it on a long window, and the one most specified for new villa handovers. Discuss a project via Pak Middle East.
Is the wave double layer good for new villa handovers?
Yes; it's the setup most often specified at handover, and the order can be scheduled around your handover date. Book a visit with Pak Middle East.
Do you install wave blackout and sheer curtains in Sharjah and the other emirates?
Yes. Wave blackout and sheer 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 and sheer 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 and sheer curtains are made to your exact window, the team recommends measuring before anything is made. Share your measurements with Pak Middle East.
Where can I buy luxury curtains in Dubai?
Pak Home's most refined option is the wave double layer, with sheer and blackout in matched wave folds, from AED 1,285 for 2m × 3m, fitted. Book a visit to see the fabrics with Pak Middle East.
Does a wave double layer block light completely?
With the blackout drawn, the fabric blocks up to 100% of light; edge light is controlled by running both tracks wide and dropping to the floor. See blackout fabrics at Pak Middle East.
Is there a discount on wave blackout and sheer curtains for several windows?
Yes. The volume discount on wave blackout and sheer 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 and sheer 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.
Does this setup work in an apartment?
If the bulkhead allows about 15 cm of projection, yes; full-height tower glazing is the case wave was designed for. If not, the pleated double layer is the alternative. See it at Pak Middle East.
Which fabrics can I combine in a wave double layer?
Any of the 12 book 401 sheers with any of the 64 blackout shades from books 301, 302 and 303. A light neutral sheer in front works with almost any blackout. Browse them at Pak Middle East.
Can I see samples of wave blackout and sheer curtains before ordering?
Yes, for wave blackout and sheer 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. You'll choose one sheer and one blackout. Colour reads differently against your own window light, so it's worth seeing in the room. Ask for samples through Pak Middle East.
How is the wave double layer cleaned?
The sheer washes cold and gently and is re-hung damp; the blackout is vacuumed and dry cleaned. The wave track restores both sets of folds. Ask about care via Pak Middle East.
Does a double wave layer insulate better?
Yes. Two layers trap an air pocket between them, adding insulation on top of the blackout blocking solar gain, which is noticeable on west-facing glass. See blackout curtains at Pak Middle East.
Can wave blackout and sheer curtains be made for a large or unusual window?
It's designed for large windows: double-height majlis glass and full glazed walls. The team checks the opening, the fixing and access at the visit before quoting. Book it with Pak Middle East.
Is a wave double layer right for a majlis?
On a double-height majlis it's the strongest option: the rhythm of the folds reads before the fabric does, and motors make drawing large layers easy. Book a visit with Pak Middle East.
Do wave blackout and sheer curtains come with a warranty?
Yes. Pak Home's wave blackout and sheer 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.
What's the difference from the single wave blackout?
The single wave blackout (from AED 785) gives darkness only; the double adds a sheer in front for daytime privacy and light, on a double corded track. See the single version at Pak Middle East.
Can you match the wave double layer across a whole villa?
Yes. Stock fabric keeps every room on the same dye lot, and a whole-villa order benefits from the volume discount. Plan it with Pak Middle East.
What's the lead time for wave blackout and sheer curtains?
Most wave blackout and sheer curtains orders are fitted within 2–3 days of approving the quotation. Large villa orders get a firm date, and both layers take a little longer than a single curtain. 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 and sheer curtains?
Book a free measuring visit for a written, fixed quote on your wave blackout and sheer 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.

Matching the folds
The detail that makes this work is fold alignment. Both tracks are corded to the same repeat, so the sheer's S-curves sit directly in front of the blackout's rather than crossing them at random intervals. Get it wrong and you see a moiré of competing folds through the sheer. Getting it right is a measuring and setting-out job, not a fabric one, and it is why this is worth having fitted rather than attempted.
Clearance
Two wave tracks with deep folds need more space from the wall than any other set-up we install — allow around 15 cm. In a villa with a purpose-built curtain pocket this is straightforward. In an apartment with a shallow bulkhead it sometimes is not, and we would rather establish that at the survey than on installation day.
Motorising both
Both tracks can be motorised independently, which is where this really earns its price on a large window. One button takes the sheer across for daytime privacy; another closes the blackout for the evening. On a six-metre majlis opening, hand-drawing either layer is a job nobody wants to do twice a day.
Who this is for
Honestly: large windows and generous budgets. On a standard bedroom window the visual gain over a well-made pinch pleat pair is small and the cost difference is not. On a double-height majlis or a full glazed wall onto a terrace, nothing else comes close.
Why this ends up being the villa specification
Full-height glazing is the case wave was designed for. On a four-metre run the eye reads the rhythm of the folds before it reads the fabric, and a pleat heading at that scale looks fussy where a wave looks architectural. Doubling it — a chiffon sheer in front, a blackout behind, both on wave — gives you the two settings a villa reception actually uses: sheer alone through the day with the glare gone and the garden still visible, and both closed at night. It is the most expensive way we dress a window, and on the right window it is the one that looks like the room was designed rather than furnished.
Depth, and checking you have it
Two wave curtains need a double corded track and enough projection that the front sheer never touches the back blackout as it draws. That is more depth off the wall than a single track, and it is the detail that catches people out in an apartment with a shallow ceiling pocket — the pocket was built for one track, not two. We measure the pocket before quoting. Where the depth is genuinely not there, the honest alternatives are a single blackout on wave with no sheer, or a roller blind behind a single decorative curtain.

Double-layer wave: both layers, one clean line
The same S-curve on two channels: sheer in front, blackout behind. It is the most fabric-hungry option we fit and the one that suits modern apartment glazing best.
What you are paying for
Two curtains at 2.5x fullness plus a double wave track. The wave system itself costs more than a standard double track because the carriers create the curve. It is worth being clear about that before comparing quotes.
Depth is the constraint
Two wave channels need more bulkhead depth than two standard channels. Where the ceiling detail is shallow, a standard double track with a pinch pleat gets you the same function in less space.
Getting the stack right
Both layers stack, so plan the wall each side generously. On a corner window this is the detail that decides whether the glass is clear when the curtains are open. The estimator prices your own sizes.
What wave double layer curtains cost in Dubai, and what the quote covers
Anyone pricing wave double layer 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 wave blackout and sheer dubai; 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.
Worth knowing if you are comparing suppliers: the same thing is searched for as ripple fold double track, so a quote under a different name is often for exactly this product.
