Not sure which heading style or lining to choose?
Measuring Curtains – Tracks or Poles
- Choose whether you want your curtain to hang from a track or a pole.
- Position your track or pole 15cm above your window, with 15-20cm either side.
- Always fit the track or pole before taking your measurements.
- Curtain measurements should be the width of the track or pole, so the curtains can be drawn right back, unless the window fits wall-to-wall.
Measuring for Tracks
Width
- Measure the total width of the track, including the overlap if there is one.
- Only measure the window if it is wall-to-wall.
Drop
Before measuring the drop, decide where you want your curtains to fall.
- Drop to sill – finish 1cm above the sill.
- Drop below sill – finish 10-15cm below, depending on radiator obstructions.
- Drop to floor – finish 1cm from the floor.
- Measure the drop in 3 places across the width to allow for uneven floors or sills, then use the shortest measurement.
- If you want your curtains to drape and gather on the floor, add 10-15cm to the drop to create this effect.
- Measure from the top of the track to where you want the curtain to finish.
- When your curtains arrive, set the adjustable curtain hooks in the middle to bottom of the heading, so the track is hidden.
Measuring for Poles
Width
- Measure the total width of the pole, excluding the finials at the ends.
- Only measure the window if it is wall-to-wall.
Drop
Before measuring the drop, decide where you want your curtains to fall.
- Drop to sill – finish 1cm above the sill.
- Drop below sill – finish 10-15cm below, depending on radiator obstructions.
- Drop to floor – finish 1cm from the floor.
- Measure the drop in 3 places across the width, then use the shortest measurement.
- If you want your curtains to drape and gather on the floor, add 10-15cm to the drop to create this effect.
Measuring the drop for poles
- Measure from the eye of the curtain ring, so the pole is visible above the curtains.
- When your curtains arrive, set the adjustable curtain hooks in the top of the heading, so the pole is visible.
