Measurement Guide

Measuring the width

Already have a pole or track? 

Measure the width of the pole between any decorative finials or end caps OR the width of your track.

No pole or track in place?

Measure the width of the window reveal, then add to this how far you would like your curtains to run past each side of the window reveal.

Just provide the pole or track width we calculate the gather.

Measuring the drop (length)

If you are using a curtain track:

To the sill: Measure from the top of the track to 1cm above the sill.

Below the sill: Measure from the top of the track to the required length below the sill (usually 15 - 20cm). If you have a radiator below your sill, measure to 3cm above the radiator.

To the floor: Measure from the top of the track to the floor. If you want your curtains to drape on to the floor, add to this measurement how far you would like your curtains to drape.


If you are using a curtain pole:

To the sill: Measure from the top of the track to 1cm above the sill.

Below the sill: Measure from the underside of the curtain ring to the required length below the sill (usually 15 - 20cm). If you have a radiator below your sill, measure to 3cm above the radiator. 

To the floor: Measure from the underside of the curtain ring. If you want your curtains to drape on to the floor, add to this measurement how far you would like your curtains to drape.
