What Are S-Fold Curtains?

S-Fold curtains are a category of curtains, with the term 'S-Fold' referring to the drapery and appearance of the header. The header of the curtain creates a folded S-shape or wave throughout the curtains. When drawn, the fabric of the curtain stacks neatly.

Benefits of S-Fold Curtains Will Bring To Your Home

S-Fold is the latest trend in window furnishings. These curtains offer a range of benefits when it comes to both their light filtering or blocking properties - depending on their fabrics - in line with their ability to enhance your home styling.

Sleek Modern Aesthetic

S-Fold curtains add an elegant, contemporary look to any room. The soft, flowing folds of the fabric create a sleek appearance that can complement both modern and traditional home decor. Perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, or any space where you want to add a touch of sophistication, these curtains offer a showcase of modernity through their clean lines that set their styling apart from other ready-made curtains.

Improved Light Control and Privacy

S-Fold curtains not only add beauty to your windows but also help with light control and privacy. The S-Folds allow you to adjust how much light enters the room, giving you greater flexibility over the ambience. During the day, you can easily open them to let in natural light, and at night, close them for privacy and warmth.

Types of S-Fold Curtains

Apart from the header of the curtain, S-Fold curtains are also available in a range of different styles in terms of their light filtering or light blocking designs. S-Fold curtains are available in both blockout and sheer fabrics, so you'll be sure to find the right S-Fold curtains for your space, depending on the overall look and feel you are trying to achieve.

Combine Style and Functionality: Blockout S-Fold Curtains

Blockout S-Fold curtains not only add beauty to your windows but also help with light control and privacy. The S-Folds allow you to adjust how much light enters the room, giving you greater flexibility over the ambience, while the blockout coating of these curtains prevents light from entering your space. This coating also helps to regulate the temperature of your home on both colder and hotter days. During the day, you can easily open them to let in natural light, and at night, close them for privacy and warmth.

Discover our Flinders Blockout S-Fold Curtain. This single panel curtain is made with a blockout fabric for all the privacy and light blocking benefits. Available to fit a variety of different window widths, with a single panel to fit a maximum 3-metre-wide track, this curtain features a long 280cm drop, perfect for homes with higher ceilings. If you're wanting to style larger width windows, combine multiple packs of this curtain for a complete refresh to your window furnishings.

Sheer S-Fold Curtains for A Delicate Charm

For those wanting to create a more light-filled, ambient space, sheer curtains are the perfect choice. Sheer S-Fold curtains offer the stunning drapery of their wave along with their light-filtering benefits. These curtains allow light to filter through to your space, illuminating any room with natural daylight. You can also layer curtains with blockout curtains on a double bracket, allowing you to switch between curtains as you require.

Sheer curtains are also a great way to style your existing window furnishings. If you have a roller blind already, add S-Fold sheer curtains over the blind to create a softer look and feel in your room.

Sheer curtains can instantly transform any room into a serene sanctuary. Create a peaceful oasis in any room of your home with the KOO Meeko Sheer S-Fold Curtain. With a 223cm drop, this curtain is available in a variety of widths.

For windows at higher points in your home, the KOO Chiara Sheer S-Fold Curtain is a great choice. The 250cm of this curtain can create a stunning pool on your floor for an elegant touch. Much like the KOO Meeko S-Fold Curtains, you can also combine multiple packs of the Chiara S-Fold Curtains.

S-Fold Curtain Hooks

S-Fold Curtain Hooks ensure a secure and even drape, helping your curtains sit beautifully along the track. These curtain hooks are designed to easily hook into the curtain header tape and into track gliders. Simply insert the hooks into your S-Fold curtain tape and follow any installation instructions.

S-Fold Curtain Track

S-Fold curtains can only be installed on an S-Fold curtain track. Our KOO Mia S-Fold Curtain Tracks are available in 4 widths that can be joined using the KOO Mia S-Fold Curtain Joiner to create a larger width track. Designed for smooth and effortless movement, an S-Fold curtain track enhances the natural flow of your S-Fold curtains while adding a sleek and modern touch to any space. With a smooth gliding system, this curtain track allows for easy opening and closing of curtains without snagging or resistance.

To install your curtain tracks on a curved window, the KOO Mia S-Fold Corner Connect pairs perfectly with the KOO Mia S-Fold Curtain Track to seamlessly create a corner window solution.

S-Fold Double Bracket

If you want to create a layered curtain arrangement with two sets of curtains, you'll need an S-Fold double bracket. This bracket allows you to mount two tracks together, perfect for creating a layered look by displaying both sheer and blockout S-Fold curtains on your window.

How To Hang S-Fold Curtains

When installing your S-Fold curtains, it's important to follow any provided installation instructions. Typically, most curtains can be installed with the following process:

• First, install your S-Fold tracks, as S-Fold curtains can only be attached to these specific tracks
• Insert the curtain hooks through the tape at the back of the curtain, evenly spacing them between each pocket in the tape
• Place the hooks into the gliders of the S-Fold track, alternating between a backwards and forward curving motion to create the S-Fold shape

It's recommended that two people help with the installation of S-Fold curtains - one to hold the curtain and one to insert the curtain hooks into the gliders on the track.
