Measuring Curtains

Considerations & Obstructions

When measuring a curtain, always want to begin by considering if there are any obstructions. Typically, the obstructions seen for curtains are sliding doors, inward-opening windows, flyscreens, and blinds. To avoid issues with these obstructions, pick the appropriate mounting point or note on the order that extension brackets are required. It is important to check if the curtain will cover anything important (i.e. light switches).
