Measurement Guide

INSTALLING THE ROD
 Valance
o 2-4 inches above the window frame with enough length at the bottom to
cover the top of the window frame.
 Tier
o Slightly above the middle of the window, covering where the window
panes meet.
 Panel
o Anywhere from 4 inches above the window header to 6 inches from the
ceiling.
INSTALLING ROD BRACKETS
 Valance or Panel
o Mark your bracket height on both sides of the window with a pencil. For
windows over 5ft wide, repeat the process in the center of the window to
add a center bracket. Check the lines with a level. Set a bracket on each
line and mark the holes. Use your drill to secure the brackets into the
wall.
 Tier
o Mark 2 inches above the middle of the frame on one side with a pencil.
Use a level to mark the other side at the same height. Set the rod the
height of the marks.
HANGING YOUR CURTAIN
 Insert rod through the rod pocket, grommet or tabs until treatment is spaced
evenly on the rod.
HEMMING YOUR CURTAIN
 Tier or Panel
o Bottom 4-6 inches. The hem should sit below the bottom of the sill when
seen from the outside. For curtains hanging to the floor, a ½ inch
clearance allows for more movement and ease in cleaning the floor,
while an extra foot of fabric provides a more luxurious look, but will
require more maintenance.
 For extra weight, fold the fabric twice when creating the hem.
