Measurement Guide For Existing Rod/Hardware
Drapery Measurement Guide For Existing Rod/Hardware
Step 1: Finding your Style
Select Your Header Style: Pleated, Grommet, or Soft Top
Pleated: (Euro, Pintch, French, Goblet, Riple fold, or Inverted box pleat) A modern crisp look that creates evenly spaced, decorative pleats at the top of the draper panel. Perfect for stationary or frequently opening and closing.
Grommet: A modern window treatment defined by oversized metal or acrylic grommets. Creates a clean, structured pleat ideal for stationary panels. Not intended for frequent opening and closing.
Soft Top: (Rod pocket, Tab Top, or Back Tab) A relaxed window treatment defined by a soft, fabric header that forms gentle, natural folds. Ideal for stationary panels or light, occasional movement.
Step 2: Finding the Width
With a Drapery Rod Already Installed:
Measure Your Rod Length (Don't include the end Finals)
Step 3: Finding the Height
Measure from the bottom of the rod to the floor:
Step 4: Would You Prefer a Single Panel or Split Panels?
For Single Panel Option: (Double 2X) the Width Measurement Example: (48"width window measured X 2= 96" Total Recommended Width to Order).
For Split Panel Option: Each Panel to Equal the Width Measurement. Example: (48"width window measured = 48" width per Panel. 2 Panels at 48" width is recommended to Order).
Step 5: What Finished Length Style Look Do You Prefer?
For 1 Inch Above Floor: Minus 1 Inch from the total window height measured.
(Example: window measurements: 48" Width by 84" Height. Take the 84" height - 1"Inch = 83" Recommended Order Height)
For Break On Floor: Keep the same total window height measured.
(Example: window measurements: 48" Width by 84" Height. The 84" height is the Recommended Order Height.
For a Slight Puddle on the Floor: Add 4 Inches to the total window height measured. (Example: window measurements: 48" Width by 84" Height. Take the 84" height + 4" Inches = 87" height is the Recommended Order Height)
Step 6: Finding Your Total Recommended Dimensions.
(Example Window Measurements: 48" Width by 84" Height.)
For Single Panel Example:
For a Single Panel Example: 48" Width X 2= 96" Total Width Recommended
Option: 1 Inch Above Floor: 84" Height -1"=83" Total Height Recommended(96"Width by 83" Height for Total Recommended Order Dimensions)
Option: Break On Floor: 96" Width by 84" Height for Total Recommended Order Dimensions)
Option: Slight Puddle On Floor: 84" Height + 4" =88" Total Height Recommended (96" Width by 88" Height for Total Recommended Order Dimensions)
For Split Panels Example:
For Split Panels Example: 48"Width Per Panel. Each Window Needs 2 Panels. (Left of Window Panel & Right of Window Panel)
Option: 1 Inch Above Floor: 84" Height - 1" =83" Total Height Recommended (48" Width by 83" Height per Panel. 2 Panels Needed per Window at 48" Width by 83"Height)
Option: Break On Floor: 48" Width by 84" Height. Same Measurement as Window Measured for the Total Recommended Per Panel Order Dimensions)
Option: Slight Puddle On Floor: 84" Height + 4" =88" Total Height Recommended (48" Width by 88" Height Per Panel. 2 Panels Needed per Window for the Total Recommended Order Dimensions)
