Measuring the Width
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. For side-by-side tracks, measure the combined total width
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)
