When measuring for curtains please use a metal tape measure as cloth or plastic tape measures may stretch. Always quote sizes in centimetres.
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.
If you have a rail with a centre overlap, measure the rail as above then measure the overlap and add the two measurements together.
Curtains are best hung either to the floor, to a sill or below the sill. We recommend that curtains finish either:-
A 1cm above the floor
B 15-20cm below the sill (or 2cm above the radiator)
C 1cm above the sill
Always measure in at least 3 positions across the track or 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.
