How to measure for curtain width

How to Measure for Curtains with Pole in Place

Curtain Pole

If you have a curtain pole, measure the space between the two finials (the decorative ornaments at each end). Record this as your width.

How to Measure for Curtains with Track in Place

Curtain Track

For a curtain track, simply measure from end to end and record the result as your width.

Curtain Track with Overlap

If your track is made up of two overlapping parts, first measure the whole width from end to end. Then, measure the width of the overlap. Add these two figures together for your final width.

How to Measure for Curtains without Pole or Track in Place

Instead of measuring the pole or track, measure the window itself and add an overlap of 200-300mm. Do this at each side (for the width) and above the window (for the drop).

Please note that depending on the width ordered, curtains over 1260mm wide may come with joins in the fabric. If your fabric contains a pattern, the panels will be pattern matched across the seams.

How to measure curtain drop/length

Eyelet Curtains

Eyelet Drop

To measure a curtain drop you need to take three measurements - one on the left, one on the right and one in the middle. For eyelet curtains, measure down from the top of the pole to your desired length. Take the shortest of the three measurements and record this as your length.

Pencil & Pinch Pleat Curtains

Pencil & Pinch Pencil Pleat Drop

For pencil and pinch pencil pleat curtains, measure from the underside of the ring fitting supplied with your pole or track, down to your desired length. Take three measurements - one of the left, one on the right and one in the middle. Take the shortest of these three measurements and record it as your length.
