How to Measure Your Window for Curtains and Blinds | If you are planning to personalize your rental space by hanging new window treatments use these tips for measuring your windows.
Steps to Measuring Windows
1. Use the proper measuring tool:
For best results��use a metal retractable tape measure. Fabric or vinyl tape strips, used for taking body measurements, may sag and give an incorrect measurement.
2. Measure for the following dimensions
����- Length and width inside the window casing.
����- Length and width outside the window casing.
����- 6"above the top of the window to the floor (needed for curtains that��touch the floor).
These measurements can be used to purchase, blinds, curtains or drapes.
Tips to remember:
����- Select your desired curtain rod first. This will be your guide to the length of your curtain.
����- Standard curtain rods are hung 6" above a window frame with an allowance of 2"-3" on each side of the window . The length of your curtain panels will depend on your bottom point and any of these numbers can be adjusted to enhance a window.
����- If you want a fuller curtain, purchase panels double the width of our windows.
����- Be sure you mention to the sales person that the exact type of measurement you are discussing. They will need to know if it's inside or outside the window frame.
