How To Measure For Curtains

Measuring for Curtains on a Rail:

A. Measuring the Width of your Curtains:

Measure the full width of the Curtain rail you are using.  We also recommend you add an extra 2.5cm as this allows for the hanging of the curtains to over lap in the middle once closed.

B. Measuring the Drop of your Curtains:

Check the Curtain rail is even?  To be sure take 3 measurements in the middle of the rail and at either end.

Decide whether you want your curtains to finish, just below the window, full length to floor or gather on the floor.  We suggest that you allow 1 centimetre clearance above the carpet or an extra 30cm to the length for the gather look.

Measuring for Curtains on a Pole:

A. Measuring the Width of your Curtains:

Measure the full width of the curtain pole you are using Excluding Finials.  We also recommend you add an extra 2.5cm as this allows for the hanging of the curtains to over lap in the middle once closed.

For Pencil Pleat, Triple Pleat and Goblet Top Curtain Styles measure the drop from the eye (the small metal ring at the bottom of the curtain ring) this will prevent the curtain obscuring the pole or rings.

B. Measuring the Drop of your Curtains:

Check the Pole is even?  To be sure take 3 measurements in the middle of the rail and at either end.
