Measuring Hints

1. Use a metal measuring tape if possible, not a ruler or cloth tape.
2. Please measure in inches.
3. Windows may appear to be the same size but check the measurement of each window.
4. Floor length draperies should end 1/2″ above the floor. Place a thin piece of cardboard on top of deep carpet to help measure evenly.
5. Keep in mind that generally drapes will look their best when closed if no window trim is exposed.
