Measurement Guidelines

When measuring for your curtains, be sure to measure the width of the curtain track or pole, not the width of the window. This measurement is crucial because we use it to determine the amount of fabric needed for your curtains. Since the width of the curtains is generally not adjustable after they're made, it's essential to provide an accurate width measurement. If installing a new track or pole, it should extend 6 inches to 10 inches beyond each side of the window and have a minimum extension of 3 inches to 6 inches above the window.

To measure for a curtain pole, just measure the width of the pole between any finials or end caps. This width is the measurement you should use.

To measure for a standard curtain track, measure the entire width of the track. This width is the measurement you should provide.

Length=Measure from the very top of the curtain rod to the floor

Length = Measured from the curtain rod ring eyelet or track ring eyelet to the floor

• 0.5 inch above the floor=(Length of curtain rod to the floor-0.5inch)
• Kiss floor= (Length of the curtain rod to the floor)
• 1 inch Puddle=(Length of curtain rod to the floor+1 inch)

Top Tips: It's important to allow a small amount of space at the bottom of the curtains; If they drag at the bottom then they could mark or fray.

Third, confirm the fullness you want

We usually recommend a fullness of 200%~250% for the best effect. For example, if the rod or track length is 100 inches, you may order 2 panels each 100 inches wide for 200% fullness.

 

Finally, calculate your curtain dimensions using the following guidelines
