MEASURING GUIDE: HOW TO MEASURE FOR CURTAIN LENGTH
Measuring for curtain length is key to achieving a polished, elevated look. Use the ceiling as your reference point to maximize height and create a grand effect. If ceiling mounting isn't an option, mount the rod or track as close to the ceiling as possible. Let the curtain rest slightly on the floor for a beautiful drape and a full, elegant look.
CEILING-MOUNTED TRACK
Measure length from ceiling to floor and add +1 inch.
WALL-MOUNTED TRACK
Measure length from the top of the track to the floor and add +1 inch.
CURTAIN ROD WITH RINGS
Measure from the underside of the ring to the floor and add +1 inch. The wall bracket should be installed approximately two inches above the top of the curtain.
CURTAIN ROD WITHOUT RINGS
Measure from the top of the rod and add +1 inch.

HOW TO CALCULATE THE LENGTH OF YOUR TRACK OR ROD
Measure the width of your window and add the recommended extension to both sides to determine the length for your track or rod. Extending the hardware beyond the window ensures maximum light when curtains are open and creates the illusion of a larger window.
STEP 1: MEASURE YOUR WINDOW
Measure your window from edge to edge.
STEP 2: HOW TO CALCULATE THE TOTAL LENGTH OF YOUR TRACK OR ROD
Track: Extend at least 12"–24" beyond each side of the window.
Rod: Extend at least 8"–16" beyond each side of the window.
Window + Extension x 2 = Total length
