Drapes
Tracks or poles should be fitted before taking your measurements.
The track or pole must extend beyond the window at either side. This allows the drapes to be pulled
back fully.
MEASURING WIDTH AND LENGTH
Measure the width of the curtain track (diagram A) or pole between the finals (diagram B).
If the track overlaps in the middle then add the length of the overlap (diagram C).
The length of the curtains can be either to the window sill, below the window sill or to the
floor. Please ensure that you make allowances.
|
FOR EXAMPLE
1cm above the sill for sill length, the required length for below the sill, and 1cm above
the floor for floor length.
|
EYELETS
For eyelet drapes measure from the top of the pole to finished drop then add 4cm. Double fullness
is required.
TAB TOPS
For tab top drapes measure from the top of the pole. We recommend you attach your pole 15cm above
the window to minimise light exposure. 1½ times fullness is required.
PINCH PLEATS AND GOBLETS
We recommend the use of a pole not a track to ensure the pleats hang correctly.

Roman Blinds
First you must decide whether you require the blinds to sit inside or outside the window recess.
INSIDE WINDOW RECESS
Measure length from the top to the bottom of the window recess.
When measuring the width of the recess take a measurement at the top, middle and bottom and take
a note of the lowest measurement. This ensures that the blind will not snag when in use (diagram
E).
Measure the length of the valance track plus the length of both returns (diagram F).
Tips for measuring
Always use a metal tape measure.
Please state clearly whether your measurements are in centimetres or inches.
We suggest you check all measurements are correct before you place your order.
We strongly recommend you take advantage of our dress & fitting service - ask us for
