Measuring for curtain width

Always measure the curtain track or pole width, not the window. If fitting a new track or pole, this should extend 15cm to 30cm either side of the window (to allow the curtains to be stacked back off the window) and 12cm to 15cm above the window recess.



If you have a rail with a centre overlap, measure the rail as shown below then measure the overlap and add the two measurements together.
