Bifold door curtains

I am wanting to put some curtains up at my bifold doors. Theyre quite big at 5.4 metres wide. What are people using, have seen wave curtains look nice and can also get a pole that length from a supplier online so could get maybe readymade eyelet curtain as they seem to fold nice too. Has anyone any tips or curtain styles to avoid and was there any problem fitting as ours has a steel lintel where the track would go
I am finding them a bit cold in the winter so want to cosy the up a bit
any tips welcome thank you

I have a double track, one with voiles and one with thick thermal curtains. Pencil pleat look more expensive.

We have bifolds a similar size to yours. We have wave curtains which look modern and lovely. I would caution though if you decide on wave curtains to buy more lightweight fabric and lining because otherwise they are the devil’s own job to keep in the wave. The ones in our lounge are a lovely lightweight fabric and effortlessly return to the wave when pulled back. We have others upstairs which require careful dressing each time they are pulled a) because the fabric is heavier and b) because we had them made with blackout lining.

Thanks, thats given me a good start. Sounds like wave curtains might be best option

I’m looking at Silent Gliss voile style wave curtains with ceiling mounted pole for a very similar sized bifold, and the shop are reckoning it’ll be £4.5k. I’m waiting for the quote and then might look at alternatives!!

I was quoted £1500 based on a £30 a metre fabric in track for a 8inch wave. It was similar to some online quotes. That was with a local independent shop. Next are doing them too
She mentioned Gliss, said the poles very good quality

I know, that was my thoughts but then thought i might have been out of touch
Dunelm it is, seen lovely chenille ones and an online track

Are the Dunelm ones wide enough? I thought their standard curtain size us 228cm wide?

I would have to buy 3 pairs i think, the ones I fancy are £110 per pair
