measuring curtains

  1. Start by defining the width of the curtains. To do this simply measure the curtain track or pole using a steel rule. If you have a curtain pole please make sure that you measure between the finials (A).
  2. Decide whether you want a pair of curtains or a single curtain.
  3. Decide what kind of curtain heading you want to use - eyelets or pencil pleat.
  4. Determine the finished drop of the curtain - whether to the sill (B), to below the sill (C) or to the floor (D).
  5. Eyelets - measure from the top of your pole to where you want the curtains to end. This is the finished drop and we will make the calculations from this. Remember with eyelets you need at least 5cm above the top of the pole.
  6. Pencil Pleat - measure from the top of your curtain track or the bottom of your pole ring to where you want the curtains to end. This is the finished drop and we will make the calculations from this.

Remember: If you want the curtains to the floor then measure to 1cm above the floor for your finished drop.
