4 things to consider when measuring for curtains:

1. Where to install the curtain - Inside Mount (Top Fix) or Outside Mount (Face Fix)

2. Configuration - Left hand stack, Right hand stack, Centre opening.

3. What type of Pleat design you would like - Single Pinch Pleat, Double Pinch Pleat or Wave Fold

4. If you have your own track or rod, Hook Height is relevant to your calculations


Outside Mount/Face Fix

Most curtains are installed on the outside of the window or door frame and the brackets positioned at the top of the architrave or above the architrave. 

If installing above the architrave, ensure you have a solid surface (like solid timber) to screw into.

 


Measuring Width

Measure the exact width you would like the curtain to cover.

If you choose to include a track with your order, it will be the same as the curtain width. 

If you have your own track:

> Provide the width of your track.

If you have your own rod:

> Provide the width of the rod between any end caps.

Important notes:
For best light reduction we recommend the curtain extend 150-200mm either side of the window or door opening.

 


Measuring Height/Drop for Pinch Pleat

Measure and provide the exact height you would like the curtain to cover.

Note the track sits behind the curtain.

If you have your own track:

> Measure from the top of the track to where you want the curtain to hang to.

If you have your own rod:

> Measure from the bottom of the rings to where you want the curtain to hang to.

Important notes:
We will deduct 15mm from order length of the curtain if hung to the floor.  This is to ensure that the length correctly falls without puddling.
For a window, we recommend the curtain extend 150-200mm below the bottom of the window frame.


 

Measuring Height/Drop for Wave Fold

Measure and provide the exact height you would like the curtain to cover.

Note the Veneta track sits directly above the top of curtain.

If you have your own track:

> Measure from the bottom of the runner rings to where you want the curtain to hang.

If you have your own rod:

> Measure from the bottom of the rings to where you want the curtain to hang to.

Important notes:
We will deduct 30mm from the order height of the curtain to ensure the curtain hangs correction without puddling.
For a window, we recommend the curtain extend 150-200mm below the bottom of the window frame.


 

Inside Mount/Top Fix

Measuring for curtains mounted on the inside of the window or door frame or into the ceiling is nice and easy, just measure the width and height of the opening in 3 places and provide the shortest measurements.  We do the rest.

Important notes:
For Wave Fold curtains, note the top of the curtain sits below the track (20mm from top of track to top of fabric).  We will deduct 30mm from the order height to ensure correct fitting of the curtain.

 


Hook Height

The Hook Height is the measurement from the top of the track to the bottom of the rings (and generally the measurement from the top of the hook to the top of the fabric).

Veneta curtains are supplied with a hook height of 30mm (3cm) for Pinch Pleat and 10mm (1cm) for Wave Fold.  Therefore the top of the fabric will sit approx 30mm above the bottom of the rings.

If you have your own track:

> Measure from the bottom of the runner rings to the top of the track.

If you have your own rod:

> Measure from the bottom of the small rings to the bottom of the rod and minus 5mm. 

Important notes:
For Pinch Pleat curtains, we provide adjustable nylon hooks that can be set anywhere between 0 and 60mm (6cm). By default they are set to 30mm (3cm).

For Wave Fold, the fabric will sit 10mm (1cm) above the bottom of the rings.
