Measuring Your Curtains
How to measure your curtains

Curtain Width
Before measuring the drop, decide whether you want your curtains to fit below the sill or to the floor. We suggest thatCurtains that fall below the sill finish 15cm (6") below. Floor length curtains finish 1.5cm (0.5") from the floor Measure the drop from the top of the rail. Always measure in at least 3 positions across the track or pole as floors and sills are rarely level.

Measure the length of your pole between the finials (distance A) or measure the length of your track. If you do not have a pole or track, mark with a pencil on the wall the intended position of the track or pole and take measurements from this line. The track or pole is usually positioned 12 to 15 cm above the window (if there is enough space below the ceiling to allow for this) and 15 to 30cm (6”) (excluding finials) either side of the window to allow the curtain to hang clear of the edge of the window when drawn back.

Curtain Drop
For Pencil, Gathered, Pelmet, Pinch Pleat or Goblet headings if you have a pole, measure from the bottom of the curtain ring (see dashed line on the diagram above, and fig 1. below), and if you have a track, decide whether you want the curtains to hang below the track or to cover the track – and take your measurements accordingly.

As a general rule of thumb for a 35mm diameter pole, the optimum position for the curtain to hang is 4-5 cms below the centre line of the pole (see fig.1 below), with the curtain just covering the eye of the curtain ring.

Poles and Finials
From the stunning Viceroy range by Price Regency to the wonderfully priced reeded 51mm Estriada by Evans and more contemporary designs by Bradley: we can source any pole or finial and will help advise you on what will look best in your scheme.

Holdbacks and Tiebacks
Tie backs and Holdbacks serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. We can make hold backs in any fabric and to any size, or help you to find the perfect metal equivalent for a more contemporary look.

Pelmets
We offer a selection of pelmets to add style structure and form to our windows.

All headboards can be upholstered and cut to your size requirements. Whatever your taste in be it contemporary or traditional, we offer an extensive range of fabrics for our upholstered headboards.
