Tips When Measuring the Finish Length
- above window 5-6" normally
- Sill Length: measure just above sill approximately 1/2"
- Apron Length: measure 2" below wood molding under sill or 5" below sill if there is no molding
- To clear floor: measure 1/2" off floor is standard
- Break on floor: add 1/2" to 1"
- Puddle: add 2" to 15"
Measuring for Finished Width
- Measure window width to determine how far beyond each side of the window opening or casing the rod will be installed. It is best to go out a minimum of 5" each side.
- Add to that measurement 12" for overlaps and returns. Our standard return is 3-1/2" if larger one is needed please specify
Measuring for Finished Length
- Measure from the top of the rod or bottom of the ring to the floor or carpet or the exact length of the drapery as described above
