Measuring Guide

Follow these simple steps to ensure that you measure your curtains correctly:

  • Use a metal tape or rule and not a fabric tape measure as these often report inaccurate measurements
  • Measure the width of your track or pole
  • Measure the distance from the track to the required drop level


Measuring the Width:

Measurement is taken from the track or the pole and NOT from the window itself.

  • Tracks are measured to their full width
  • Curtain poles are measured between the decorative ends



Measuring the Length:

The length measurment is dependent upon the base length and the heading style that you choose.

To measure the base, you must first decide whether you want the curtains to drop to:

  1. The floor
  2. Below the sill
  3. To the sill

    Always allow 1cm (1/2in) clearance above the radiator or the carpet. If a carpet has not been laid allow for a 2.5cm clearance (1in)
