Frequently Asked Questions
What is custom drapery?
Custom drapery refers to curtains and fabric window treatments that are precision-measured and built to order for your specific windows. It allows precise sizing, premium fabric choices, and professional hardware and track systems.
Is custom drapery good for NYC apartments?
Yes. Custom drapery works well in NYC apartments because it can be tailored to unusual window sizes, floor-to-ceiling openings, and architectural details while adding privacy and a finished design look.
Can drapery tracks be motorized?
Yes. Drapery tracks can be motorized with systems such as Somfy or Lutron for remote, app, or voice control. Battery and hardwired options are available.
What drapery styles do you install?
We install ripplefold, pinch-pleat, rod-pocket, goblet, and sheer drapery systems. Each style can be customized with blackout lining, interlining, and decorative hardware.
Do you install drapery in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan?
Yes. Makris Installations installs custom drapery throughout Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Long Island, Hoboken, and surrounding areas.
Do you do commercial and hospitality drapery?
Yes. We install drapery systems for hotels, restaurants, conference rooms, and commercial spaces, including motorized blackout drapery and sheer curtain walls.
What does 60% Ripplefold fullness look like?
60% creates shallow, gentle waves with the smallest possible stack. Best for sheer layers, tight window reveals, or when you want maximum glass exposure when the curtain is open.
Is 80% Ripplefold fullness right for floor-to-ceiling windows?
Yes — 80% is a balanced, soft-wave option ideal for floor-to-ceiling glass in modern NYC condos. It keeps the open stack compact (~10–14% of track length per side) while still delivering a clean architectural drape.
Why is 100% the most popular Ripplefold fullness?
100% delivers the classic, evenly defined S-curve waves Ripplefold is known for. It's the industry default because it balances visual richness with a moderate ~12–18% per-side stack and works well across most fabric weights.
When should I choose 120% Ripplefold fullness?
Choose 120% for deep, luxurious waves — typical for formal rooms, blackout panels, and premium hotel installations. Expect a larger stack (~18–22% per side), so plan for extra wall return space beyond the window opening.
How does Ripplefold fullness affect fabric usage?
Fabric scales linearly with fullness. A 10-foot track uses about 16 ft of fabric at 60%, 18 ft at 80%, 20 ft at 100%, and 22 ft at 120%. Higher fullness means more fabric and a heavier finished curtain.
