Measure in two minutes.

Four steps.

1. 1

   Measure the window width

   Measure from the outside edge of the steel frame on the left to the outside edge on the right. Write it down in metres.

2. 2

   We add 25 cm each side

   You don't need to do this yourself. We add 25 cm on each side for the rod, so the curtains stack beside the glass and the window stays clear.

3. 3

   For curtains, note your ceiling

   We fit double rods high, just under the ceiling or cornice, so curtains fall long and straight. If you have a bulkhead or a cornice, take a photo.

4. 4

   For blinds, measure the height too

   Measure from the top of the frame to the sill. Vertical blinds are priced on width × height, zebra blinds on the width only.

We don't fit curtain rods on toilet windows in bathrooms and en-suites. A zebra blind works well there.
