NB. All prices quoted are for a pair of curtains, if you require a single curtain select "right hand" or "left hand" single curtain on the order page.

Measure the width of your existing track or pole. Do not include finials in your measurement just the track or pole.


Glider or standard tracks:


For overlapping tracks please measure both pieces of track and add the 2 lengths together.


For curtain poles please measure the pole width but not including finials.

Measuring the drop:

Pencil Pleat Drop - For a curtain track.
If you are hanging curtains on a track, measure from the top of the track to your finished length e.g below the sill or to the floor.  We recommend to leave a 1cm gap between the bottom of your curtains and the floor. 


Pencil Pleat Drop - For a curtain pole.

If you are hanging pencil pleats on a pole, measure from the bottom of the ring to your finished length e.g below the sill or to the floor. We recommend to leave a 1cm gap between the bottom of you curtains and the floor.


Pinch Pleat Drop - For a curtain track.
If you are hanging curtains on a track, measure from the top of the track to your finished length e.g below the sill or to the floor.  We recommend to leave a 1cm gap between the bottom of your curtains and the floor.

Eyelet Drop.
Measure to distance from the top surface of your curtain pole to 1cm above the floor. Or measure to the desired length e.g  just below the sill or just above the radiator.

Guide To Our Curtain Fullness.

We offer approx double fullness in our curtains (Excluding Eyelets 1.75 times fullness), many internet retailers also claim this but don't, check before you order. Our curtains are made in widths of fabric, each width is between 138cms and 152cms. So in a 2 width pair of curtains for a track 240 cms wide you would have a total of approx 550cms of fabric width, which will give you full looking curtains.

upto 70cms wide, Pair 1/2 width per curtain, single curtain 1 width.

70-140cms wide, Pair 1 width per curtain, single curtain 2 widths.

140-210cms wide, Pair 1 1/2 widths per curtain, single curtain 3 widths.

210-280cms wide, Pair 2 widths per curtain, single curtain 4 widths.

280-340cms wide, Pair 2 1/2 widths per curtain, single curtain 5 widths.

And so on.... upto a max or 520cms which is 4 widths.

If you require more or less fullness please call us for a price.

Notes.
Always use a steel tape measure, fabrics tapes can stretch. It may seem obvious but if you are replacing existing curtains that are the desired size just measure them and input these sizes into the site.

If you require 2 pairs of curtains of different drops for the same room and it is important that they are pattern matched please let us know if you would like them to match from the top or Bottom.
