INSTALLATION GUIDE
Measuring Tips
Before purchasing your window treatments, you will want to decide on how you want them to hang. They may hang on
the inside or outside of the window. To measure, you will need a pencil, steel measuring tape and paper.

width inside
the frame.
Measure

Measure

height of the

• Hardware will generally extend 4 inches beyond the window frame (2 inches on either side).
• A curtain rod’s length doesn’t include the decorative finial.
• While many curtain rods are expandable, wooden poles come in standard lengths of 4 feet,
6 feet, and 8 feet and may be customized.
• For a full look, plan on two to four times the fabric width to the width of your window.
• For panels, the height includes the tip of the tab or ring to the bottom of the panel.
• Panels are usually hung 4 inches above the window frame (commonly 96 inches).
• Shorter panels are meant to hang 4 inches below the window sill (commonly 63 inches).
• You will typically want to use an even number of panels (four per window creates a full gathered look).
