We recommend measuring your window in centimetres to obtain the most precise measurement.
Should you wish to order in inches, please note that this will be converted to centimetres by our website.
All widths are rounded to the nearest 10cm and all drops are made to the nearest whole cm.
Due to the nature of fabrics all drop sizes are approximate and have a 10mm+/- tolerance on all our made to measure orders.
Slot Top or Rod Pocket Heading:
Suitable for hanging curtain with a net rod or a wire.
Rod up to 19mm in diameter.
For the width: Measure from left to right within your window frame.
For the Length/Drop: Measure within your window frame from the top down to where you want the curtain to fall for the drop.
Pencil Pleat or Tape Top Heading:
Suitable for hanging curtain with a track or pole with rings.
Don't forget to knot the strings at the ends before pulling them to create the gather!
For the width: Measure the full width of the track or pole, excluding any finials.
For the Length/Drop: Measure from the bottom of the ring fitting or track to the desired length. Take three (3) measurements, one in the middle and one on each side. Use the shortest of the three (3) measurements as the length/drop.
Wave Heading:
Suitable for hanging curtain with a wave track. We recommend that you install the track before ordering to ensure the correct drop/length.
You also need to consider the spacing in front and behind the track as to create the wave effect.
60mm spacing – 70mm is required both behind and in front of the track.
80mm spacing – 100mm is required both behind and in front of the track
This allowance will ensure the waves glide freely. Please take this into account when installing your track especially if you are installing into a recess of a window or a channel that has been cut into the ceiling.
For the width: Measure the width of the track.
For the Length/Drop: Measure from the glider on the track to the floor (this should clear the floor by a min of 12mm) or where you would like to curtain to end.
