The way that the Ripplefold drapes are suspended eliminates the possibility of tipping or sagging, allowing the drapes to remain perfectly positioned and spaced at all times. Installing these Ripplefold drapes will present you with extremely low maintenance costs and easy-to-change procedures due to snapping panels that are handled less often.
