The Golden Rule: Measure Your Track or Rod First

Curtains should be measured based on the curtain track or rod width, not only the window glass width.

To achieve proper fullness and a natural drape, most curtain styles require extra fabric width, depending on the selected heading style.

What Does “Flat Curtain Width” Mean?

Flat curtain width refers to the fabric width when the curtain panel is laid flat, before gathering, pleating, or folding.

It is not the same as your window width, track width, or final coverage width.

For example, if your track is 200 cm wide and your selected curtain style requires 2.0× fullness, the total flat curtain width required is:

200 cm × 2.0 = 400 cm total flat curtain width

For a set of 2 panels, this means:

Each panel: W200 cm flat width

Total set width: W400 cm flat width

Recommended Fullness by Header Style

Rod Pocket: 1.5× – 2.0×

Grommet / Eyelet: 1.8× – 2.0×

Ring Top: 1.8× – 2.0×

Double Pinch Pleat:
2.0× for track length of 200 cm and above
2.2× for track length below 200 cm

S-Fold & Wave Fold Track Systems

S-Fold and Wave Fold curtains are calculated differently because they depend on the number of carriers and the spacing system.

Our calculations are based on standard carrier spacing of approx. 6 cm.

S-Fold / Button Snap System:
Number of carriers × 12.5 cm

Wave Fold / Hook Attachment System:
Number of carriers × 10 cm, 12 cm, or 14 cm

10 cm spacing creates a softer wave.

12 cm spacing is our standard balanced wave.

14 cm spacing creates a deeper, more dramatic wave.

Please check your track system carefully before ordering, as some suppliers use the terms S-Fold and Wave Fold differently.

Measuring the Drop

The curtain drop is the finished curtain height. Please measure from the correct starting point based on your hardware and selected heading style.

Grommet / Eyelet:
Measure from the top of the rod and add approx. 2.5 cm for the fabric above the eyelet.

Rod Pocket:
Measure from the top of the rod to your desired finish point and add approx. 1 cm, as the rod diameter can make the visual hanging drop slightly shorter than the flat curtain drop.

Pinch Pleat / Hook Top / S-Fold / Wave Fold:
Measure from the bottom of the track body and subtract approx. 0.5–1 cm as the gap between the curtain header and the track/rail.

For floor-length curtains, we usually recommend leaving 0.5–1 cm clearance above the floor, unless you prefer a soft puddle look.

Free Height Adjustments

We offer free custom drop adjustments within our adjustable range:

Rod Pocket / Back Tab:
Up to 263 cm

Most Other Headers:
Up to 274 cm

Please specify your desired drop in the Order Notes at checkout.

For drops above the standard adjustable range, additional tailoring or fabric joining may be required.

Before You Order

Please measure 2–3 times before confirming your order.

As most curtains are made or adjusted to your selected size, heading style, and fabric choice, we cannot offer returns for incorrect measurements once the order has entered production.

If you are unsure, please contact us with your track width, drop, preferred heading style, and photos of your window or track setup before placing your order.
