Simply measure one drape panel for width and length, then multiply the width by two to get the total width for the pair.
|
|
We recommend that you should install the hardware before you take your measurements
|
The rod should be positioned at least 4 inches above the window (so pleats are not seen from the outside) |
|
Measure the rod width, including the corners (if you need the return), and add 4” so the center can overlap when the drapes are closed |
|
With pleated drapes, measure from the bottom of the decorative pole rings to the floor.
|
With rod pocket drapes, measure from the top of the decorative pole to the floor.
|
To create a clear look, subtract ½ inch from the height or if you like a puddling look, simply add 6-8 inches in length.
|
If the height is not accurate, try removing the pins and adjusting them again to compensate the difference in height.
