Custom Ripple Fold Drapes with Even, Continuous Waves
Ripple fold drapery hangs from carriers spaced evenly along a track, so the fabric falls into a continuous series of soft, identical waves. The heading is flat and clean rather than pleated, which gives ripple fold its calm, modern look from the ceiling to the floor.
Custom-made to your measurements, with consultation and installation throughout New York City. We help you choose the fabric, fullness and track, then build each panel to your exact width and drop.
The Ripple Fold Difference

Uniform waves
Evenly spaced carriers keep every fold the same depth, open or closed.

No pleats or rings on show, just a smooth line along the track.

Smooth glide
Panels move easily along the track, by hand or by motor.
- 04
Tidy stack
Fabric gathers neatly at the sides when the drapes are open.
- 05
Ideal for motorization
Track-based ripple fold pairs naturally with quiet drapery motors.

Offices and boardrooms
Motorized drapery that opens and closes at the touch of a button.
Care & Maintenance
- Vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment, working from top to bottom.
- Spot-clean marks with a damp cloth; check the fabric care label first.
- For deeper cleaning, use professional drapery cleaning so the waves keep their shape.
- Keep the track clear of dust so carriers glide smoothly.
Measuring & Installation
Ripple fold depends on the track: its length, mounting position and the room needed for the fabric to stack when open. Our team measures each opening, plans the track and stack, and installs the drapery, including motor setup. Apollo is based in Brooklyn and installs throughout New York City.
