Quick Measuring Tips!

Tab Top curtains are only suitable for poles
Measure to the nearest whole cm
Measure in several places to allow for any irregularities and use the smallest of those measurements
Always use a metal or wooden tape for better accuracy
Always measure the pole not the window
Fabric gather (fullness) is already included in our curtain calculations, so it is the width of your pole that you should enter
Get someone else to help by holding one end of the tape

Drop Measure the smallest distance between C (which is the top of the pole) and D which could be any one of the following: To a window sill, in which case measure to the sill then deduct 1 cm* so that the curtain will sit that amount off the sill. Below the sill, in which case measure to the sill and then add 15 cm. If there is a radiator within 15 cm below the sill then measure to the radiator and deduct 1 cm. To the floor, in which case measure to the floor then deduct 1 cm* so that the curtains will sit above the floor.
