Installation:
Install curtain rod (sold separately).
We recommend curtain rod to be thin enough
to slide though curtain opening and if
gromment style to match rod finish.
Use iron on low heat or steamer to remove
wrinkles prior to hanging curtain panels.
Determining Width:
Before choosing a width, decide if you
want your drapes to fully close or if you
just want decorative panels. For decorative
side panels, measure from the edge of
the curtain rod to the spot where you
want your panels to hang in the window
frame. Do this on either side, and add
4”-8” to allow curtains to pleat properly.
For curtains to cover entire window.
Take the total width and divide that by the
number of panels you want in the window.
For example, if your curtain rod is 56” wide,
multiply it by 1.5 (making that 84”), then dive
that number by two, if you want two panels.
Therefore, each panel should be at least 42” wide.
Determining Length:
A) Outside window frame to outside frame
B) Top window frame to bottom of frame
C) Top of pole to top of molding (4”-6”)
D) Bottom of ring to floor
E) Top of pole to top of floor
F) Width of pole
Choose the length style: short, brushing, or pooling the floor.
Short: Short curtains come to the bottom of window sill
Brush the floor: The hem of the panel just touches the floor.
Pooling the floor: Also known as “puddle length”, this style allows the panel to drape over the
floor at two inches or more. This is recommened for curtains that will be used as decoration
instead of curtains that will be pulled closed often.
Depending on type of header and length you want, you will need to measure according.
For rod pocket, tab top, or grommet header style curtain, measure from the top of the rod to
the sill or floor. If you want curtains to brush the sill, measure from your curtain rod to sill,
then subtract half an inch. If you prefer the curtain to be slightly under the sill, measure to the
bottom of the sill and add 2” - 4”. For your curtains to brush the floor, measure from the
drapery rod to the floor and substract half an inch. If you want it to pool the floor, add 4” - 6”
to your length measurements.
