Calculating your curtain width:

Your curtains will be made to fit your curtain track length, so please specify this in the ‘track length’ box above.

Please state all measurements in cm.

Calculating your curtain drop:

The curtain drop is simply the measurement from the very top of the curtain to the bottom of the lowest hem (bottom of the curtain).  This measurement will however vary depending on how you are fixing your track (ceiling or wall fixing) and the length you want the curtains to fall (floor length, sill length etc.)

Please note the Swiss Pleat curtains sit underneath the track.

How to measure your curtain drop:

Firstly, decide on where you would like your curtains to fall, (floor length, sill length etc.) this provides your bottom hem position.

We advise you take your measurements in 3 places.  Please take a left, right and centre measurement.  If they vary up to 1.5cm we suggest you input the shortest measurement on your order.

If the measurements vary more than 1.5cm it will be down to personal preference with regards to the measurement you supply for the finished drop of your curtains.  If you go with the shortest measurement you will end up with a bigger gap at the longest side.  If you go with an average measurement the curtains may touch the floor on the shortest side.

For floor length curtains:

Ceiling fixing with the track installed: please measure from the bottom of the track to the floor and deduct 1cm off this measurement if you’d like the curtains to clear the floor or add 5cm if you would like the fabric to pool slightly on the floor.  Pooling is only recommended for lightweight curtains on hand drawn tracks.  If you are hanging your curtains on a corded or motorised track we recommend the curtains sit just off the floor so they don’t put any strain on the cords or motor.

Please enter your preferred drop measurement in the curtain drop box.

Ceiling fixing and the track hasn’t been installed: please take the ceiling to floor measurement and deduct the track profile measurement from this (this can be found on the track pages in the gallery images).

Deduct 1cm off this measurement if you’d like the curtains to clear the floor or add 5cm if you would like the fabric to pool slightly on the floor.  Pooling is only recommended for lightweight curtains on hand drawn tracks.  If you are hanging your curtains on a corded or motorised track we recommend the curtains sit just off the floor so they don’t put any strain on the cords or motor.

Please enter your preferred drop measurement in the curtain drop box.

Wall fixing with the track installed:

Measure from the bottom of the track to the floor and deduct 1cm off this measurement if you’d like the curtains to clear the floor or add 5cm if you would like the fabric to pool slightly on the floor.  Pooling is only recommended for lightweight curtains on hand drawn tracks.  If you are hanging your curtains on a corded or motorised track we recommend the curtains sit just off the floor so they don’t put any strain on the cords or motor.

Please enter your preferred drop measurement in the curtain drop box.

Wall fixing and the track hasn’t been installed: firstly, decide on the height that you would like the top of the curtains to finish.     Swiss Pleat curtains will sit underneath the track.

Please take the measurement from the top of where you want the curtains to sit to the finished length.   Enter this measurement in the curtain drop box.

Please note: if the wall fix track has not been fitted, we only recommend you order your curtains if you have room for adjusting the track height so the curtains fit perfectly. If you are wall fixing and space is very limited, we would recommend that you install the track first and then supply the curtain drop measurement.

For sill length curtains: 

if you want your curtains to fall sill length, please follow the instructions above but measure to the windowsill instead of the floor.

For all other curtain lengths:

Please follow the instructions above but measure to where you want your curtains to finish.  Please note you do not need to deduct the 1cm which is required for floor and sill clearance.

Swiss Pleat Curtains can only be made with Silent Gliss fabrics.  Please refer to our blog post on the Silent Gliss Fabric Collection.
