Curtain Width Per Panel
(Pencil Pleat, Tab Top, Back Top, Eyelet Curtains, Rod Pocket)

Guidelines for Measuring

●     We recommend using a metal tape to ensure accurate measurements without any stretching.

●     Iron the curtains to remove any wrinkles or folds. Then, lay the curtains flat on the floor.

●     Measure the width of your curtain panel from one side to the other.

 Curtain Height/Drop 

We recommend three types of curtain lengths:

1.      Sill length curtains finish ¾″ above the window sill (E)

2.      Below sill length curtains finish ¾″ above a radiator if one is located below the window (F)

3.      Floor length curtains finish ¾″ above the floor (G)

*Please check more details about pattern orientation. It may affect the maximum curtian height if you choose a patterned design.

Tab Top Curtain Guide

●      If you use a curtain pole, measure from the top of the pole (A) for the curtain drop.

●      The measurement should include the 4″ tab folds that are over the pole, which is suitable for poles up to 2″ in diameter.

●      When hanging the curtain over the pole, the gap between the pole and the window frame must be larger than the 4″ tabs. Ensure that your curtains completely cover the top of the window. Please leave us a message if you require a different tab top size when you check out.
