Apex

Apex curtains create a crisp, structured look with sharp, symmetrical folds. This modern style adds a sophisticated touch to any space, offering a balance between elegance and contemporary design. Perfect for high-ceiling rooms or large windows, apex curtains maintain their shape beautifully while providing a tailored, polished finish.

Wave

For a sleek, modern look, wave curtains create soft, flowing folds that drape beautifully from a specially designed track. This style offers a minimalist aesthetic, perfect for contemporary spaces, allowing fabrics to glide effortlessly while maintaining an even, structured appearance. Ideal for large windows or bi-fold doors, wave curtains bring a touch of elegance with their smooth, uniform waves.
