Best Drapery Styles for Floor-to-Ceiling Glass
Ripple fold and wave fold are the studio's defaults. Here is why — and when a French pleat is the right exception.
Floor-to-ceiling glass is a modern architectural decision. The heading should read as part of the building — continuous, restrained, vertical. Ripple fold and wave fold do that. French pleat does it only when the room is transitional rather than modern.
Ripple fold
Smallest stack-back coefficient, most continuous vertical line, recessed-track default. The studio's first choice on modern floor-to-ceiling glass.
Wave fold
A softer continuous wave, slightly more stack-back than ripple fold, hand-finished European hardware. The choice when the room wants softness without breaking the continuous line.
French pleat
Used on floor-to-ceiling glass only when the architecture is transitional and an exposed rod is part of the design language. Otherwise, ripple or wave.
