Pencil pleat curtain
DROP:
Measure from the curtain rod hooks to the floor or windowsill. Our gathering tape has two rows of pockets: 1 and 2.5 cm from the top edge of the curtain. Decide which row of pockets you want to use, then add 1 or 2.5 cm to the measured height. Now determine how high the curtain should hang from the floor. We recommend 1-2 cm. To do this, subtract 1-2 cm from the measured height.
WIDTH:
Measure the section to be covered or the rail, then add 80 to 100% for gathers. Then, select the appropriate value in the WIDTH field. If the desired width is not available, round up to the nearest available width. If you want two curtains, halve the measurement and order two.
curtain width 130 cm = final curtain width after gathering 65-72 cm
curtain width 195 cm = final curtain width after gathering 97-108 cm
curtain width 260 cm = final curtain width after gathering 130-144 cm
curtain width 325 cm = final curtain width after gathering 162-180 cm
curtain width 390 cm = final curtain width after gathering 195-216 cm

Double pinch pleat curtain
DROP:
There are two ways to measure curtain height, depending on whether you want the rail to be visible. To cover the entire rail, measure the height from the top of the rail to the floor, subtracting 0.5cm–2cm depending on your preference. For a visible rail, measure the height from the bottom of the rail to the floor, subtracting 0.5cm–2cm depending on your preference.
WIDTH:
Determine the curtain width – the width is measured from the center of the window to the outer edge of the rail. Remember, the specified curtain width is the finished width after the decorative waves have been placed.
The custom-made curtain is available in three widths: 70cm, 140cm, and 210cm, and is ready to hang. The curtain features sewn-in plastic flex with hooks spaced 12-14cm apart.
The sewn-in flexes with hooks are 9.5cm high and serve as a suspension for the curtain to the glider running in the ceiling track. Hooks are included with the curtain.
Single pinch pleat curtain
DROP:
There are two ways to measure curtain height, depending on whether you want the rail to be visible. To cover the entire rail, measure the height from the top of the rail to the floor, subtracting 0.5cm–2cm depending on your preference. For a visible rail, measure the height from the bottom of the rail to the floor, subtracting 0.5cm–2cm depending on your preference.
WIDTH:
Measure the width you want to cover the window. If your desired width is not available, round up to the nearest available width. If you want two curtains, halve the measurement and order two. Please note that the tolerance in width can be up to 5 cm.
Curtain width = width after arranging decorative waves: 90 cm, 140 cm, 210 cm.
The width of the curtain is specified after installation. The curtain has sewn-in plastic flex strips with hooks spaced 12-14cm apart. The sewn-in flex strips with hooks are 9.5cm high and serve as a suspension for the curtain slider running in the ceiling track. Hooks are included with the curtain.
Please note that some fabrics may shrink after washing (3-8%). These fabrics show the values by which they can shrink after washing. These values should be taken into account (especially for the width of the curtain).
Even though the width of almost all fabric rolls is 140 cm, we also make wider curtains. In this case, we stitch a piece (or pieces) of fabric. In this case, the fabric report is taken into account so that the joining seam looks aesthetically pleasing. This does not apply to 280 cm wide fabrics.
