CURTAIN MEASURING GUIDE

1. Measuring Width:

Always measure the size of your curtain’s track/pole, and not the window’s width.

For Poles with finials, measure the distance between the 2 finials

For Track with overlaps, add the width of the overlap to the overall track width.

If you’re fitting a new Pole/Track, make sure it covers an extra 10cm on each side of the window to ensure no lights are sipping in.

Decide firstly where do you want your curtain to finish, for floor height, measure the total height minus 1 or 2 cm.

Other measurements are 1 or 2cm above the sills, 15 cm below the sill, or even 2.5 to 15cm extra of the total height for the romantic look and feel.

For Eyelet and Tabtop:

Measure from the top of the pole to your desired height;

You might want to measure both side of the drop as it’s quite a common thing where the construction of your windows or floor are not even.

Take the longer of the 2 measurement in this case.

For Pinch Pleat and Pencil pleat:

Measure from the heading’s eye (where the curtains hooks) to your desired height.

Again, measure both side of the drops and take the longer of the 2 measurements.
