HOW TO MEASURE FOR CURTAIN WIDTH
After choosing your hardware, the next step is to decide the number of panels you need based on the width of your window. Our curtains come in single and double-width panels. The double width panels which when drawn closed with full pleats they cover 152cm or 180cm of wall or window space depending on your hardware.
To decide on the number of panels needed, consider the following recommendations for double width panels:
Standard Window: If your window is up to 300 cm wide, use two panels (one on each side).
Wide Window: If your window is wider than 300 cm, use three or four panels (two on each side or spaced evenly across).
Narrow Window: If your window is less than 100 cm wide, it's possible to use one panel that can be pulled to one side if you have limited space.
