Measuring up

Measuring for a straight window pole requires just three quick and simple steps:

  1. Firstly, where is the pole going to go? Stand back, look at the window, and check that there are no beams, light switches, or fittings in the way of a straight mount above the window. One option if there are obstructions is a Recess Curtain Pole and Brackets. As our curtain poles are all handmade to order, we can also create a bespoke solution just for you.

    Ideally, the pole should be mounted 15cm above the top of the window. If you have a low ceiling, it should be mounted halfway between the ceiling and the top of the window.
  2. Measure the width of your window. Remember to measure in centimetres.
  3. For the drawbacks (the area where the curtain hangs when drawn back), we recommend 10% of the width of the window. Just divide the window width by 10. This is added to the overall length of the pole. If you have thicker/heavier curtains, add one or two centimetres to allow for the additional thickness.

Also, in the video below, Richard explains how to take measurements before ordering.

How to measure for your Curtain Pole

 

Reviews

"I am delighted with both the curtain rails you have made for me. The quality of the work and the design are impeccable.

I've attached a photo of the first in place, and will send a picture of the more recent purchase once it's in place. It's particularly nice to be able to support an artisan business in Suffolk- I grew up in Ipswich and still think of the county as home despite having left 49 years ago."

"Thank you for sending the replacements, which are perfect. They are now in place and we are very happy with them, and the curtain pole, of course. I thought you might like to see a photo.

Thanks again for all your help with this and for your lovely work."

"Attached is the photos of the finished item, it went together really well. The angle was spot on and the location pin worked great."
