Measuring for curtains is best undertaken when
the track or pole has been installed.
When measuring for curtain drop, the starting point for measurement is :
Curtain Tracks - the top edge of track
Curtain Poles - underside of pole ring / bracket.With Pinch Pleats, you
need to measure the length of track or pole, plus any returns or overlaps, as your
curtains should be made to fit the track or pole.
