• Always measure in centimetres and use a metal tape measure.

• Install your track or pole before taking your measurements.

• The track or pole should extend beyond the windowat either side, to allow room for the curtains to bedrawn back o� the window.

• To optimise the light from your window werecommend your pole extends approx. 30cm either side of the window for goblet, cartridgeand tab-headed curtains.

WIDTH• Measure the track or pole, NOT the window itself.• For tracks: measure the width from end

to end (see diagram 1).

If the track overlaps in the middle you must include the overlap (see diagram 2).

• For poles: measure the width between thedecorative �nials (see diagram 3).

DROP• For tracks: measure from the top of track to allow

it to be hidden by the curtains (see diagram 4).• Maximum depth of track is 3.5cm from top of track

to bottom of glider.

• For poles: measure from the underside of the curtain ring to allow the pole to be seen above the curtains (see diagram 5).

• For eyelet curtains: measure from the top of thepole and add 4cm.

• For tab-headed curtains: measure from the top ofthe pole. To minimise light exposure we recommendyou position your pole a minimum of 15cm above thetop of the window.

• For ruffle top: measure from underside of curtainring (as diagram 5) and add 5cm. If using track,measure from bottom of glider and add 5cm.

• For rod pocket: measure from the top of the pole.

• Measure from the correct point to:- 1cm above the sill for SILL length;- the desired length for BELOW-SILL length;- 1cm above the �oor for FULL length. (see diagram 6)

How to Measure your Pelmets• As a guide, to determine the pelmet length, divide

the curtain length by six (e.g. length of curtainsordered 240cm, recommended pelmet length40cm).

• For pelmet width, measure the distance between the wall and the front of the pelmet (a),track along the length (b) and back to the wall (c),then add together (see diagram 1).

• For upholstered pelmet only measure width of curtaintrack from end to end, and add at least 5cm to arriveat width to order. Please note, this pelmet will alwaysmeasure 15cm from wall to front of pelmet.

• For an arched pelmet, the �nished pelmet lengthmeasurement is taken from the top of the pelmettrack to the midpoint (i.e. at the top of the arch).Pelmet sides will be 20cm longer (see diagram 2).

How to Measure Poles fora Bay Window• Simply select your poles according to the

measurements within your bay window. 3 polelengths are available, as well as 2 diameters,including our NEW 28mm option. Poles can be easilycut to size or joined with a connector to form longerlengths if required.
