Panel Measuring Guide
Measuring for a panel is a straightforward process that involves accurately determining the width and drop measurements to ensure the curtains fit your window properly. Here's a detailed measuring guide to help you get accurate measurements:
Tools you'll need:
Tape measure
Step ladder (if needed)
Step 1: Decide the Curtain Placement Before measuring. Are you planning to hang them inside the window recess or outside on the wall? This decision will affect your measurements.
Step 2: Measuring the Width
All our panels come in 1 width (usually around 150cm / 55”). Most panels come in pairs, however, please check the product listing for confirmation.
Step 3: Measuring the Drop/Length
Inside Recess Mounting:
- Measure the height of the window recess from the top to the bottom.
- This final measurement is the drop you'll need for your curtains.
Outside Wall Mounting:
- Decide where you want the curtains to finish, at the window sill, below the window sill, or to the floor.
- Measure from the top of the track / pole to where you want the curtains to finish.
- Readymade Curtains come in 3-4 drop sizes (design depending); 137cm (54”), 182cm (72”), 229cm (90”)
Step 4: Double check your measurements, it's always better to measure twice to avoid any errors. Make sure they match your requirements and adjust if necessary.
