In order for you to choose the correct size for your window then please use the following guide.
Eyelet Curtain Guide
Step 1: Fit the curtain track or pole before taking measurements
Our eyelet curtains can only be fitted onto a curtain pole (max 35mm diameter)
If there is no curtain currently in place, then one should be fitted first and positioned around the following dimensions.
• 15cm (6 inches) above the window top
• 15-20cm (6-8 inches) either side of the window edges
Step 2: Measure the total width of the track or pole
Note:
• Don’t measure between the window edges
• Exclude the decorative finials / ball ends (if using a pole)
Follow these steps to select the right panel size for your window.
Step 3: Use this guide to select which is the best width of curtain to buy
Our curtains come in pairs and are available in 3 pre-set individual panel width sizes
• Pole width 35” to 63” (90cm to 160cm) - Choose curtain size (46”) 117cms Width
• Pole width 55” to 87” (140cm to 220cm) - Choose curtain size (66”) 167cms Width
• Pole width 70” to 118” (180cm to 300cm) - Choose curtain size (90”) 229cms Width
Step 4: Select the correct drop (length) of curtain
Last step is to determine the length / drop of the curtain from the pole.
Please measure from the top of the pole to where the curtain should drop to:
1) Pole to window ledge - Measure to the bottom of the window ledge and add 2-4” (5 to 10cm)
2) Pole to radiator - Measure to the top of the radiator and add 2” (5cm)
3) Pole to floor - Measure to 1” (3cm) above the floor to allow for ease of cleaning the floor.
Note: Choose a drop size equal or longer than the measured required length as our ready-made curtains can be reduced in length at any local clothing alteration to fit your window more accurately if required.
Pencil Pleat Curtain Guide
Step 1: Fit the curtain track or pole before taking measurements
Pencil pleat curtains can be hung from a curtain track or curtain pole. If using a curtain pole then curtain rings are required
If there is no curtain pole or track currently in place, then one should be fitted first and positioned around the following dimensions.
• 15cm (6 inches) above the window top
• 15-20cm (6-8 inches) either side of the window edges
Step 2: Measure the total width of the track or pole
Note:
• Don’t measure between the window edges
• Exclude the decorative finials / ball ends (if using a pole)
Follow these steps to select the right panel size for your window.

Step 4: Select the correct drop (length) of curtain
Last stage is to determine the length / drop required. This depends if you have a pole or track
A) Measuring from a curtain pole
Start the measurement from the bottom of the eye (the small metal ring at the bottom of each curtain ring) to where the curtain should drop to.
B) Measuring from a curtain track
Start the measurement from the top of the track to where the curtain should drop to.
Measure where you would like your curtain to drop to:
1) To window ledge – Measure to the bottom of the window ledge and add 2-4” (5 to 10cm)
2) To radiator - Measure to the top of the radiator and add 2” (5cm)
3) To floor – Measure to 1” (3cm) above the floor to allow for ease of cleaning the floor.
