All measurements should be provided in cm (unless the website gives you the option to provide the measurement in mm or inches).
All our curtain are made with a 3cm manufacturing tolerance (width & drop).
Always use a metal rule when taking the measurements.
Measuring the width
We always advise that you measure the curtain track or pole width, not the window.
If you are fitting a new track or pole this should extend 15cm to 20cm either side of the window. This will allow the curtains to be stacked either side of the window.
Curtain Poles
Measure the length of the pole between the finials (decorative ends).
Curtain Rails
Measure the length of the rail. If you have a rail with an overlap in the centre, measure the length of the rail and add the length of the overlap to this measurement.
Measuring the drop
The length of your curtains will depend on your preference. Typical length measurements are as follows.
A: Full length which is approximately 1.5 to 3cm above floor level
B: Above radiator typically 1 to 3cm above the radiator.
C: Below the window sill typically around 15cm.
Measure from the top of the track or bottom of the curtain rings for a curtain pole to the desired length of your curtains.
Tab Top & Eyelet Curtains
For Tab Top or eyelet curtains you should take your measurements from the very top of the pole.
Pencil, Pinch & Wave Pleat
Measure from the top of the track or bottom of the curtain rings to the desired length of your curtains.
Fullness or gathering
Once you have entered your curtain pole or rail width, we will calculate the amount of fabric required for your curtains. Some headings require more fullness or gathering than others so these headings will require more fabric which is reflected in the price of the curtains.
All curtains are made in increments of 1/2 widths:
Pencil Pleat 1.75
Pinch Pleat 2.25
Wave Pleat 2.0
Tab Top 1.5
Eyelet 1.5
