What is the difference between wave and pleat?
Should I choose wave or pleat?
GARDINEX offers two types of curtain styles.
Wave and Pleat.
The big difference between these two curtains is how it hangs and folds. We have produced a small guide below to facilitate your curtain decision.
Wave curtains, also called lounge curtains, are characterized by their undulating waves, which become symmetrical and even due to the fact that the curtain is hung with wave hooks at fixed sliding distances under the rail. This is made possible because the slide is attached to a string where the distances are even.
The waves can be adjusted so that they become smaller or larger, and with the appropriate textile, the wave movement can be maintained throughout the full length of the drapery.
Wave curtains are most often seen in social rooms to create a modern, harmonious and luxurious atmosphere. Not only do they look beautiful when pulled up, but stack back very neatly when not in use, helping to maximize the light in a room.
When it comes to installing wave curtains, it needs a little more space due to its shape and will "stick out" about 10 cm from the wall.
The pleat curtain has more of a tight pleat compared to the wave curtain. This curtain is hung with finger hooks instead of wave hooks. These finger hooks lift the curtain so that it hides the rail where the curtain hangs, while wave hooks allow the curtain to hang just below the rail.
The pleat curtain does not take up as much space and works great in tight spaces. The tight shape in the upper part contributes to a relaxed looseness in the lower part.
The pleat curtain fits in all types of rooms and works as an excellent choice in, for example, bedrooms where the space is usually tighter than in other rooms.
They are also a perfect choice when you want double layers of curtains, for example as a complement behind the blackout curtain to create the luxurious hotel feeling. This is because it takes up less space during installation and each rail "sticks out" approx. 5 cm from the wall.
Last but not least, the pleat curtain is a classic curtain that gives a timeless atmosphere in all types of rooms and environments.

Ska jag välja wave eller veckband?

GARDINEX erbjuder två typer av gardinstilar.
Wave och Veckband.
Den stora skillnaden mellan dessa två gardiner är hur den hänger och veckar sig. Vi har tagit fram en liten guide nedan för att underlätta ditt gardinbeslut.

Wavegardin även kallat loungegardiner, karakteriseras av dess böljande vågor som blir symmetriska och jämna på grund av att gardinen hängs upp med rynkbanskrokar på fasta glidavstånd under skenan. Detta möjliggörs på grund av att gliden sitter fast på ett snöre där avstånden är jämna.
Vågorna kan anpassas så att de blir mindre eller större och med lämplig textil får man vågrörelsen att bibehållas i draperiets fulla längd. Det är också det sömnadssätt som kräver mest textil för att få till veckningen.
Wavegardiner är oftast sedda i sociala rum för att skapa en modern, harmonisk och lyxig atmosfär. De ser inte bara vackra ut när de är fördragna, utan staplas tillbaka mycket snyggt när de inte används, och hjälper till att maximera ljuset i ett rum.
När det gäller installation av wavegardiner behöver den lite mer utrymme på grund av sin form och kommer att ”sticka ut” ca 10 cm från väggen.

Veckbandsgardinen har mer en tät veckning i jämförelse med wavegardinen. Denna gardin hängs upp med fingerkrokar i stället för rynkbandskrokar. Dessa fingerkrokar lyfter gardinen så att den döljer skenan där gardinen hänger, medan rynkbandskrokar låter gardinen hänga strax under skenan.
Veckbandsgardinen tar inte lika mycket plats och fungerar utmärkt i trånga utrymmen. Den snäva formen i överdelen bidrar till en avslappnad löshet i underdelen.
Veckbandsgardinen passar i alla typer av rum och fungerar som ett utmärkt val i bland annat sovrum där utrymmet oftast är snävare än i andra rum. De är också ett perfekt val när du vill ha dubbla lager med gardiner, till exempel som ett komplement bakom mörkläggningsgardinen för att skapa den lyxiga hotellkänslan.
Detta på grund av att den tar mindre plats vid installation och varje skena ”sticker ut” ca 5 cm från väggen.
Sist men inte minst är veckbandsgardinen en klassisk gardin som ger en tidlös atmosfär i alla typer av rum och miljöer.

Yes you can!
GARDINEX offer you made-to-measure curtains in two different styles: wave curtains and pleat curtains.
You choose which style that suits you and your home.
-
A wave curtain protrudes 10cm from the wall or the nearest element/window sill.
The curtain rail is mounted 5 cm from the wall or the nearest element/window sill.
If you want the hotel look and double rails, put the second rail 12cm from the first. So a total of 17cm.
The wave curtain protrudes more than the pleat curtain. So we recommend pleat curtains for tighter spaces.
-
Wave curtains are hung with wrinkle tape hooks and slide on string with 8cm distance.
-
1. The Wave curtain is hung with wrinkle tape hooks and these are already on the curtain when you buy made-to-measure curtains from GARDINEX.
