NET AND VOILE CURTAINS – MEASURING GUIDE

We recommend that you use a metal tape measure for the most accurate measurements.

Net curtains are supplied with cut edges; we recommend that you sew the sides of the curtains so
they do not fray. This service costs £5.00 per curtain.

How to measure for Net and Voile Curtains

You need to measure the Width (A) and the Drop (B) by following the instructions below:

Curtains

A: The Width

Net curtains are bought and priced per metre.

We recommend that customers buy at least 2.5
times of the width of the window of net to get
optimum fullness (see pictures and chart below).
You will require more fabric that the windows
width as they are not supposed to hang flat.

B : The Drop/Length

Measure from the top of your wire or rod to the

bottom of your window frame. Net curtains come
in standard drop sizes and most people order to
the nearest size, however they can be altered to
your exact drop. If ordering to the exact drop
the next longest drop is used for the prices per
metre. The alteration charge for this is £3.00 per
metre.
