HOW TO MEASURE FOR CURTAINS AND BLINDS
HOW TO MEASURE FOR CURTAINS
STEP 1. WIDTH
We recommend that you put up your pole before taking your measurements.
- Measure the pole not the window itself.
- Measure the width between the decorative finials.
STEP 2. SILL LENGTH
- Sill Length - Measure from the bottom loop of the curtain to 1cm above the sill.
- Below Sill Length - Measure from the bottom loop of the curtain ring to the desired length.
STEP 3. FULL LENGTH
- Full Length - Measure from the bottom loop of the curtain ring to 1cm above the floor.
- In all cases we will add 3cm above the loop to your measurement to allow for the curtain heading.
HOW TO MEASURE FOR BLINDS - OUTSIDE A WINDOW RECESS
Kindly note, we can only make blinds up to 150cm in width.
POLE HUNG
- Length - When using a pole, measure from the bottom loop of the curtain ring to the required length.
- Width - Measure from the outside edge of each bracket once they have been fixed in place.
BATTEN HUNG
- Length - when using a batten, measure from the top edge of the batten to the required length.
- Width - Add approximately 7cm (14cm total) on each side of your window to allow sufficient
HOW TO MEASURE FOR BLINDS - INSIDE A WINDOW RECESS
We recommend that a batten is used for blinds hung inside a window recess. The blind will be supplied with a self-adhesive Velcro heading and screw eyes (and the batten).
STEP 1. LENGTH
- Measure the length from the top to the bottom of the recess.
STEP 2. WIDTH
- Measure the width at the top of the window recess (1) in the middle (2) and at the bottom (3).
- Record the smallest measurement of the three to ensure the blind does not snag when being lowered.
