Custom-made Curtain
- Blockout Curtains: Designed to block up to 100% of external light, perfect for bedrooms or media rooms.
- Dimout Curtains: Reduce light without completely blocking it, ideal for living spaces where some natural light is welcome.
- Sheer Curtains: Lightweight and translucent, providing privacy while still allowing daylight to filter through.
- Face Fixing: The track is mounted on the wall above the window. It allows some flexibility in adjusting the position.
- Top Fixing: The track is mounted to the ceiling, creating a dramatic floor-to-ceiling look, but with less adjustability after installation.
The choice depends on both style and function.
Curved Tracks – Perfect for creating a smooth, continuous curtain flow across an internal 90° corner, especially when pairing a narrower window with a wider one. Do note that curved tracks are only suitable for internal corners and have a maximum width limit.
Butted Tracks – Best when you want curtains to operate independently across two adjoining walls or for external corners, where curved tracks cannot be used.
Both options deliver a polished finish—the right one simply depends on how you’d like your curtains to look and move in your space.
Yes. Blockout curtains act as an extra layer of insulation, helping to keep heat out . This can reduce your reliance on heating, making them an energy-efficient choice.
Top fixing means mounting the curtain track and brackets directly to the ceiling. This method is ideal when you want to achieve a seamless floor-to-ceiling look, adding height and drama to your space—especially in rooms without a cornice.
Unlike face fixing (where the track is attached to the wall), top fixing does not allow for adjustment once installed. It’s best suited for interiors where precision placement and a clean, architectural finish are the goal.
- Sewn Hem: Standard for blockout curtains, providing structure and durability.
- Weighted Hem: Standard for sheer curtains, allowing the fabric to drape elegantly. Sheers can be customised with sewn hems for an additional 20% of the curtain value.
Sheer or light fabrics are perfect for small spaces as they create an airy, open feel. Pairing them with blockout curtains on a double track lets you switch between light-filled openness and complete privacy.
- Regular Care: Light vacuuming with a soft brush attachment helps remove dust.
- Spot Cleaning: Wipe gently with a damp cloth for small stains.
- Professional Cleaning: Recommended every 12–18 months for blockout and lined curtains to maintain fabric quality and drape.
S-fold Curtain
Wave fold curtains, including S-fold styles, require more fabric than the exact width of your window to achieve their signature flowing look. At Elegant Seal, our S-fold curtains are made with 180–200% fullness, ensuring generous depth, graceful folds, and a luxurious finish.
S-Fold curtains are celebrated for their graceful, wave-like folds that flow seamlessly from top to bottom, creating a uniform and elegant drape. Unlike traditional pleats, the continuous “S” shape of the fabric gives your windows a luxurious, high-end designer look that works beautifully in both modern and classic interiors.
The evenly spaced waves form a soft rhythm that enhances the sense of space and sophistication in any room. With their sculptural quality, S-Fold curtains don’t just dress a window—they become an architectural feature, adding depth and refinement to your living space.
When made with blockout fabric, S-Fold curtains combine style with practicality—offering a chic, polished finish while still providing excellent privacy, light control, and comfort.
Yes. Our S-Fold blockout curtains are designed to work best with a specially made track. We recommend pairing them with our designer track, which ensures smooth operation and optimal performance.

Customisable Finishes – Available in powder-coated white, black, or platinum, complete with matching brackets.
User-Friendly – Includes clear acrylic hand wands for easy handling.
Versatile – Suitable for both single and double S-Fold curtain configurations.
