Measuring for Curtains on a Track
Suitable for heading types
Pencil Pleat and Pinch Pleat

To be sure of the best possible fit, take time to measure your window carefully. The curtain track should be positioned 10cm to 15cm (4"to 6") aprox, above the window, take into account the distance between the top ofthe window recess and the celing, and extend 15cm - 20cm ( 6"- 8") either side.

A. Measuring the width
Measure the total width of the rail.

B. Measuring the drop
Before measuring the drop, decide whether you want your curtains to fit below the sill or to the floor. We suggest that
Curtains 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. To avoid curtains dragging across the floor or cill we recommend you use the shortest of these 3 measurements.
