The true benefit of made to order curtains is that you can be sure they will fit your windows perfectly regardless of their dimensions.

Which curtain heading type are you using?

Generally you have two main options available for hanging your curtains. And depending on the method you choose your curtain’s design will have to match the hanging system accordingly.

So for instance if you’re using Rods to hang your curtains then you know that Eyelet or Ring based curtains will be most compatible.

If you’re using tracks or rails then your curtain needs the old school method of tape and hooks for hanging purposes.

You can use your existing Rods or Rails for your custom made curtain.

Or if you want to step out all shiny and new then remember Dubai Centre stocks literally everything you could possibly need for all types of curtain hanging applications.

How to accurately take measurements for your curtain installation

Easy steps to follow when measuring curtains

The majority of our made to order curtain customers come to us already prepared with measurements jotted down.

But we also frequently send our install teams out to help with taking window measurements.

Even so here are some useful guidelines to follow when measuring for curtains.

The first rule of thumb is to use the right tool for the job. So make sure your measuring tape is up to standard, long enough for the application, and preferably of the metal tape variety.

You can write down your measurements in either centimetres or millimetres, but do keep in mind that most people in crafts prefer working with millimetres.

You will be taking two key measurements for each window – Length and Width. If you’re going to be using your own tracks then start by checking the clearing distance between the track and the edge of the window frame.

Then measure with your tape from the top of the track to the floor. Finally deduct approximately 30mm from the bottom so your curtains do not drag along the floor.

If you’re installing eyelet curtains then you would measure from the top of the rod reaching down to the floor. Again make an allowance for the bottom clearance between curtain and floor.

For a rods and rings setup your measurement starts from the eye on the ring where you place the curtain hooks.

Now for the width of your curtain.

Assuming you have rods or rails already installed, measure the distance from one side to the other horizontally, using the edges of your hanging equipment as a guide.

If you are planning on installing new rails then measure the entire window width and make an allowance of about 50mm extra on either side.

If you’re still unsure about how to go about taking your curtain measurements, or would like the professionals to take care of it for you, then just drop us line, and we’ll be happy to send out one of our curtain install teams to assist you.

Not forgetting the importance of good Curtain Lining

What is curtain lining and why do I need it?

Curtain lining is traditionally used as the first layer of curtain that can be seen from the outside of your window. These are the curtains which normally remain closed for the purpose of privacy.

At the same time they need to be light enough both in terms of colour and texture, so as to allow as much light as you need flowing into your home during the daytime.

Many curtain lining fabrics also serve as protection against UV light while still providing ample brightness when your main curtains are opened.

As much as you would emphasise the beauty and style of your curtains on the inside, you also want your windows to look attractive from the outside.

So do not compromise on the design and quality of the curtain lining you use.

Our consultants are ever ready to assist you in picking the right lining fabric.

They will tell you what you should consider when choosing lining fabric as well as provide advice on which curtain cloth is better for lining.
