HOW TO MEASURE YOUR CURTAINS

HOW TO DEFINE THE WIDTH?

IMPORTANT:

For all products except linings, the width you enter is the width of your curtain rod/track. We calculate the final width of the curtain for you using a coefficient (see calculation examples below). It is standard industry practice, so that when you hang you curtain, it has regular pleats/waves.

The curtain received, laid flat, will be wider than the width of the curtain rod you entered when you placed your order. Once hung, and thus pleated, it will match the width of your rod/track and will perfectly cover your window. Note regarding the curtain heading "pinch pleat": The width of the curtain, laid flat, will be measured from the first pleat to the last pleat, from the first hook to the last hook.

NB: regarding the heading type Pinch Pleat, the width of the curtain will be measured from the first pleat (hook) to the last one.

Calculation examples

Number of panels for your curtain rod: 1

You will receive one curtain panel to cover a single rod.

Pinch Pleat or Double Pinch Pleat : once the pleats are sewn, the width of the curtain panel is identical to the width of your curtain rod. For a 100cm wide curtain rod, you receive a curtain panel that measures 100cm wide (from the first hook to the last hook).

Number of panels for your window: 2

You will receive two curtain panels, together they will cover a single rod.

Pinch Pleat or Double Pinch Pleat : once the pleats are sewn, for a 100cm wide curtain rod, you will receive 2 curtain panels to cover the whole width, they will each measure 50cm wide (from the first hook to the last hook).

Maximum width

For technical manufacturing reasons, there is a maximum width authorized for each heading type.

• Eyelet max. width: 300cm
• Pencil pleat max. width: 250cm
• Rod pocket max. width: 200cm
• Pinch pleat max. width: 300cm
• Hooks (lining) max. width: 500cm

Specific cases

1. « I want a pencil pleat curtain with a flat rendering, what should I do?»

If you select pencil pleat but want a flat curtain, divide the width of your curtain rod by 2.

EXAMPLE: If your rod is 100cm wide, your made-to-measure curtain with pencil pleat will be 200cm wide because a coefficient applies (see above).

For a flat rendering:

• divide your curtain rod by 2 and enter a curtain rod width of 50cm,
• your made-to-measure curtain will then be 100cm wide,
• you will not have to gather your curtain, it will be hung flat.

NB: For better soundproofing, we advise you to choose a curtain with pleats.

2. « My curtain rod is wider than the maximum authorized width, what should I do? »

If the width of your rod is larger than the maximum authorized width, you will have to divide your width by 2, in order to make 2 curtains instead of a single, very large one.

EXAMPLE: You want a curtain with eyelets (max. width 300cm) but your curtain rod is 400 cm wide. You will have to:

• divide the width of your curtain rod by 2 and enter a curtain rod width of 200cm,
• select "1 panel for your curtain rod" (step 3: Number of curtain panels for this rod),
• add the product to your shopping cart,
• modify the quantity using the arrow to order it twice.

You will receive two identical custom curtains. Hung together they will cover your 400 cm wide curtain rod.

HOW TO DEFINE THE HEIGHT?

In order to be as precise as possible, please choose your rod/track and install it before proceeding to this step.

The height you enter is the total length of the product you will receive, from the top edge to the bottom edge. The curtain should cover the entire window and ideally, when possible, fall to the floor.

• For a curtain: Please measure the distance between the top of the rod/track and the floor. For all curtains with eyelets and for room divider curtains with rod pocket, do not forget to add 2.5cm (fabric between the top of the eyelet/rod pocket and the upper edge of the curtain).
• For a lining: Please place your tape measure under the head of your curtain and measure to the bottom edge of the curtain.
