Determine Mounting Technique
Inside Mount Curtains
While not as common, inside-mount curtains are another mounting option that will provide a specific look. Inside mount refers to a curtain rod that is secured inside the window frame, creating a more streamlined appearance. Inside-mount curtains don’t completely block out light, but they still provide privacy and offer a modern look.
Outside Mount Curtains
The outside mount is the most common mounting style for hanging curtains. When curtains are mounted outside, the rod is secured to the wall outside of the window frame. Outside-mount curtains can give the illusion of a larger window, provide full coverage to block out natural light, and create a more luxurious look.
Measuring the Width
Measure the curtain track or pole width, not the window width. It’s important that this is the measurement provided, as we’ll use your track or pole width to calculate the required fabric for your curtains. If fitting a new track or pole, this should extend 6” to 8” on either side of the window and be positioned at least 6” above the window frame.
Measuring for Poles
For a curtain pole, simply measure the width of the pole **between the finials or end caps** — this is the width you should enter.
Measuring for Tracks
For a standard curtain track, simply measure the full width of the track — this is the width you should enter.
Measuring the Drop
Curtains can be hung either to the floor, to the sill, or below the sill. We suggest that curtains finish in one of the following ways:
0.5 inches above the floor
6–8 inches below the sill
0.5 inches above the sill
Something needs to be considered when calculating the final size of per panel.
What will happen if the size is over the maximum limit?
Most of our designs use solid or cross-pattern fabrics. The standard width of most fabric rolls is 104 inches.
We can make curtains without seams if your curtain length is below 104 inches. In this case, the fabric roll width becomes the curtain length.
However, if the curtain length exceeds 104 inches, any vertical stripes or patterns will appear as horizontal stripes or patterns instead.
When used as width, the fabric roll width (104 inches) must be larger than the curtain width.
If both the width and length exceed 104 inches, the curtains will be constructed with seams to achieve the required size.
Panel Type
You may order your drapery as a Single Panel or as a Pair (Split Panel).
Split Panel — 1 Left, 1 Right
Two equal panels (one left and one right). The total width coverage you specify will be automatically divided in half.
Single Left Panel
One individual panel of fabric that opens to the left. Designed to cover an entire span or be used as a decorative stationary panel.
Single Right Panel
One individual panel of fabric that opens to the right. Designed to cover an entire span or be used as a decorative stationary panel.
Bottom (Puddling)
Bottom (Puddling) refers to extra drapery length that spills or “puddles” onto the floor.
We recommend puddling only for decorative drapes. If your drapes will be opened and closed regularly, puddling is not advised as the fabric can become dirty quickly.
Reduce 1/2"
1/2" above the floor to avoid drapes touching the floor. Best option if you want straight curtains.
No Puddle
Curtains just slightly reach the floor. Hard to achieve, but gives a tailored, custom look.
1" Puddle
Also called a “break” or “trouser break.” Drapes lightly rest on the floor for a clean finish.
2"–4" Puddle
The most popular option — enough fabric to spill nicely without being excessive.
6"–8" Puddle
A true puddle with enough extra length to fan the drapery out on the floor.
Stack Back
Stack back is the space that the curtains occupy when fully open.
For One Panel
With a panel width of 1 inch in Grommet or Rod Pocket style, the stack back is approximately 0.13 inches.
Note: The stack back calculation is only an estimate. Actual stack back may vary depending on factors such as puddling, fabric type, lining options, curtain rods, brackets, and rings.
