Measuring for curtain width

Always measure the curtain track or pole width, not the window. If fitting a new track or pole, this should extend 15cm to 30cm either side of the window (to allow the curtains to be stacked back off the window) and 12cm to 15cm above the window recess.

Measuring for curtain width
Measure from end to end

If you have a rail with a centre overlap, measure the rail as above then measure the overlap and add the two measurements together.

Measuring for curtain drop

Curtains are best hung either to the floor, to a sill or below the sill. We recommend tha curtains finish either: -
A 1cm above the floor
B 15-20cm below the sill (or 2cm above the radiator)
C 1cm above the sill

Measuring for curtain drop

Always measure in at least 3 positions across the trackor pole as floors and sills are rarely level. To avoid curtains dragging across the floor or sill we recommend you use the shortest of these 3 measurements.

Select a lining option

Linings serve many purposes, including blocking out light, soundproofing, or insulating a window. Choosing the best lining depends on why you want to line the curtains. Thermal lining is best for insulating a window against drafts. Blackout lining is specially made of thick material that prohibits light from passing through. Normal White or Ivory Lining will add fullness to your curtain and create a better feel and quality.

For any bespoke requirements please call / email us and we'd be happy to provide a quotation.

Interlining is an extra layer of fabric placed between the main fabric and the lining. By adding a layer of interlining the feel of your curtain will become thick and sumptuous. This extra layer not only adds to the handle of the curtain its increase in thickness makes it more insulating.

Measuring for valance

As a rule of thumb, a straight valance has a drop measuring 1/6 the curtain drop, but ultimately it is down to your suitability.
