Measuring Curtains
Measuring the Width
When measuring for our made-to-measure curtains we need the curtain pole or track width not the width of the window.
1. Measuring for the width when using a curtain pole
Measure the length of the pole between the 2 finials (decorative ends)
2. Measuring for the width when using a curtain track
Measure the full width of the curtain track
Measuring for the height
Curtains can be hung to the floor, to the window sill or below the sill. We recommend that curtains are hung to:
- 1cm above the floor
- 1cm above the sill
- 10cm-20cm below the sill (or 2-3cm above the radiator)
1. Pencil Pleat, Tempo Wave and Pinch Pleat curtains on a pole
When using a curtain pole, measure from the underside of the curtain ring to where you want the curtain to finish at the bottom
2. Pencil Pleat, Tempo Wave & Pinch Pleat curtain on a track
When using a curtain track, measure from the top of the track to where you want the curtain to finish at the bottom. Please then take 3cm off this measurement.
3. Eyelet Heading
When measuring for eyelet curtains, measure from the top of the pole to where you want the curtain to finish at the bottom
