Measuring For Pencil Pleat & Pinch Pleat Curtains

We require two measurements when ordering your curtains, the track length and curtain drop.

For curtain tracks

Step 1 - Your track length is simply the measurement from one end of the track to the other.

Step 2 - Your curtain drop is from the top of the track to where you would like your curtain to finish, this could be just below the window sill, or you could go to the floor.

For curtain poles

Step 1 - The length measurement is taken from one end of the pole to the other, but don’t include the finials on the end.

Step 2 - When measuring your curtain drop on a pole, simply measure from the underside of the pole to where you would like your curtain to finish.

Measuring For Eyelet & Tab Top Curtains

Eyelet curtains can only be hung from a pole, and we require the length and drop measurements before placing your order.

Step 1 - The length of the pole is taken from one end of the pole to the other (not including the finials on the end).

Step 2 - For the drop of the curtain, measure from the top of the pole to where you’d like the curtain to finish, we add the extra above the eyelet on the curtain.
