How to measure for curtains?

HEIGHT

First, measure the distance (X)
Grommet
X= Top of the rod to floor distance + 1 1/8" (Top of the panel to
top of the inner grommet ring is 1 1/8")
Rod pocket
X= (If slips over the rod) Top of the rod to floor distance + 0.5"
X = (If clips/hooks onto the rings) Where you'd like the curtain
top be to the floor distance
All pleated headings/Rod pocket as pleats
X= (if covering the rod) Top of the rod to floor distance
X= (if not covering the rod) Bottom of the rod to floor distance
Ripple fold
X= Bottom of the track to floor distance**
Then, account for the floor distance
Floating above the floor
Curtain height = X - 0.5"
Just hitting the floor
Curtain height = X
Puddling
Curtain height = X + 2" to 6"

WIDTH

Rod/Track width = Window width + 6" to 15" on each side
Grommet/Rod pocket
Curtain width (min fullness) = Rod/Track width x 1.5
Curtain width (recommended) = Rod/Track width x 2
Curtain width (max fullness) = Rod/Track width x 2.5
All pleated headings
Curtain width = Rod/Track width
Ripple fold
Curtain width : Type in Rod/Track width in the
Ripple fold custom page

EACH PANEL

Width per panel = Result from above / Number of panels
Height per panel = Result from above

**If you purchase a ripple fold track from our store, the track will
take 1" in height.
e.g. for a ceiling mount ripple fold track, just hitting the floor look
Curtain height = ceiling to floor distance •
