There is no fixed rule on the length you wish your curtains to be, and restrictions may determine the finished drop.

Usual lengths are:

• To the sill (you may wish to finish a little clear of the sill, this is a personal choice).
• Below the sill (10 – 15cm or 4 – 6 inches is the general guide for this).
• To the radiator (2cm or 1 inch clearance is the general guide here).
• To the floor (please ensure you measure both ends of your pole and in the centre as floors can run out and it is best to be sure).

Floor length curtains have a few options and most preferences are:

• To the floor with no gaps.
• If your floor runs out or you are considering tie backs you may wish your curtains to sit onto the floor 4 – 6cm or 2 inches.
• Just clear of the floor, usually 1 -2 cm or ½ inch.
• Pooling onto the floor at least 15cm or 6 inches.

If you require a ‘stand-up’ heading please still measure the curtain length as detailed above and advise separately how much above the tape you require.

If you require eyelet headings however, please take your curtain length measurement from the top of your pole and also note your pole diameter, we will make the allowance above this length to allow for the eyelets.

Please note, this is a generic measuring guide and there will always be windows that need a more bespoke approach so please contact us if you need more information.

1. Three width measurements are required if applicable:

2. Count the number of runners. Runners can be removed if there are too many, but may present a problem if more are required.

3. Measure from the top of the rail to the required finished length you wish the curtains to be.
