MEASURING FOR CURTAINS
Curtain length is a personal preference, there are three basic choices, sill, below sill or floor length.
Pencil Pleat
Measure from the top of the track to the required finished length (A, B or D). If you are using a pole measure from the bottom of the ring to the required length.
Eyelet
Measure from the top of the pole to the required finished length (A, B or D). You must have a space of at least 5cm above the pole for this heading type.
Tab-Top
Measure from the top of the pole to the required finish length (A, B or D), this will give you the total drop of your curtain including tabs. We use a standard length of 10cm for tabs, if you require a different length please advise in the order requirements box on the 'Basket' screen. Please bear in mind that the tabs should not finish below the top of the window.
For curtains hanging outside the window recess, the width we require is (F), the length of the pole or track.
If your curtains are to hang inside the window recess you will need the measurements indicated by C and E.
Valance
The standard drop of a valance is 1/6 of the curtain drop. Our quotation system defaults to this, however you can override this value if required.
Please Note: our quotation system works in centimetres only.
