What do I need to measure? -

• 1. Measure the width of your pole/track:

  If measuring for a pole, measure the length of the pole between the finals (the decorative ends of the pole).

  

  For tracks, measure the full length.

  

  All our ready made curtain are sold in pairs, so a 90 inch wide pair of curtains would fit a 90 inch pole or track as each pack would contain two curtains each of approximately 90 inches before gathering, below is our guide:
  
  Pole or Track width up to 48" (122cm)
  Recommended curtain width 117cm (46")
  
  Pole or Track width 48" to 66" (122 - 168cm)
  Recommended curtain width 66" (168cm)
  
  Pole or Track width 66" to 90" (168 - 228cm)
  Recommended curtain width 90" (228cm)
  
  The above recommendations are based on two times gather but anything between 1.5 and 2.5 is acceptable according to the amount of fullness you would like.

• 2. Measure the desired drop (alteration available in next step):

  For poles measure from the eye beneath the curtain rings (where the curtain hook will go), except for tab top and eyelet headings where you should start your measurement from the top of the pole. For tracks measure from the top of the track.

• 

  You need to decide how long you want the curtains. For above the window sill measure to the sill then deduct 1cm* for clearance. For below the sill add 15cm* and for floor length curtains, measure to the floor then deduct 1cm* for clearance. If instead you want trendy trailing floor curtains, simply add as much fabric as you wish to trail.
  
  *All these allowances are our guide and should be your own personal preference.
