THE MEASUREMENT GUIDE

The beauty of
a perfect fit.

A few considered measurements make all the difference. Plan the width, the fall and the fullness before we refine the final details together.

01 / HOW TO MEASURE

First, the details.

Where to measure your curtainsMeasure the full installed track horizontally. Measure the finished drop vertically from the hanging point to the intended hem position. The window opening is a separate measurement.Full track / rod widthFinished curtain dropYour intended hem positionWindow opening

01

Measure your track or rod

For a wall-mounted curtain, measure the full width of the rod or track, not just the glass. We recommend extending beyond the window where possible.

02

Measure the drop

Start at the track or hook position and measure down to your desired finish. Use the same unit for every measurement.

03

Choose your fullness

Fullness affects how fabric gathers into soft folds. 2× is a common starting point; your heading style and fabric can change requirements.

These measurements and prices are for planning only. A final quote needs fabric confirmation, heading, seams, lining, installation and on-site measurements.

02 / YOUR MEASUREMENTS

Fabric estimate

Window opening: 140 × 200 cm. Hanging position is recorded for your installer; enter the actual track width and finished drop below. No rail extensions are assumed automatically. Changing units keeps the original measurement precision.

Advanced Measurements

Adjust these to your chosen fabric and heading. The estimate includes whole fabric widths, hems and pattern repeats.

Each panel uses a whole number of fabric widths. Cut drops include your hem/header allowance and round up to the entered vertical repeat. Seams, shrinkage, horizontal matching and waste may increase yardage. Preliminary planning only; verify before manufacturing.

Finished width per panel (including fullness): 180.0 cm. Drop: 240.0 cm. 4 fabric drops per window, each 270.0 cm before installation.
