S-Fold Curtains, custom made for you. - Abaca: A Semi-Sheer, Light Dimming Range for S Fold Curtains
Abaca for S Fold Curtains: Parchment
Abaca Parchment S-Fold Light Dimming Curtains offer a beautifully light neutral shade with subtle earthy undertones, giving this versatile colour a warm and naturally grounded character. An on-trend choice for this season, Parchment brings softness to an interior while offering just enough warmth and depth to move beyond a traditional cream or beige. Abaca’s distinctive open-woven, linen-inspired texture adds delicate tonal variation, becoming particularly beautiful as natural daylight filters through the weave. The flowing waves of the S-Fold heading further enhance the fabric’s relaxed drape, creating an elegant and effortless finish. Custom made in New Zealand to your exact measurements, Abaca Parchment works beautifully with warm whites, timber, stone and layered natural textures.

Measuring Guide
- How to measure for curtains

Curtain Measurements
It is important you enter the correct measurements to ensure the curtains are made to the exact requirements, the information required is:
Width
To achieve the correct width, the size of the track or pole is required.
We recommend that any track/pole should be fitted 15cm - 30cm either side of the window recess to allow curtains when open to be pulled back away from the window.
- Curtain Track - ensure you measure the width of curtain track and not the window.
- Curtain Pole - ensure you measure the width of the pole, excluding the finials.
Length
If choosing Pencil Heading or S Fold curtains - the drop measurement should be taken from the top of the track or the bottom of the ring.
If choosing Eyelet Heading - the drop measurement should be taken from the top of the pole - please ensure you add 3cm to the drop for the fabric allowance visible above the pole
Deciding on curtain length is down to personal preference, however there are three basic lengths you may wish to choose from:
- Sill length - The curtain should be approximately 1cm above the sill.
- Below sill length - The curtain should be 15 cm below the sill or 3cm above the radiator.
- Floor length - The curtain should be 2.5cm above the floor.
- Curtain Track - ensure you measure the width of curtain track and not the window.
