What style of drape hanging header would you like?

Do you have a drapery rod installed already?

What's your rod length?

Measure height to decide drapery length.

For soft top style ( tab top, 4-in-1, rod pocket, back tab ), the drapery length is measured from top of rod to floor.

For pleated and flat hook style, the curtain length is measured from the bottom of the rod ring eyelet or track ring eyelet to floor.

For grommet style, the length is measured from top of rod to floor.

For ripple fold style, measure from the carriers or hooks on the track down to the floor.

Do you want single or split panels?

What kind of finished length would you like for your drapes?

What's your window width? (Frame outer edge to edge.)

How many inches beyond your window frame would the rod extend?

What's the height from window top to floor?

How many inches above the window frame would you mount the rod?

For pleated and flat hook style, measure from rod ring eyelet or track runner eyelet to the window frame, which means you should take the hardware (rings/tracks) height into consideration.

For ripple fold style, measure from track runner eyelet to the window frame, which means you should take the track height(track + runners/carriers height) into consideration.

For ceiling mount, measure from the ceiling to top of window frame, consider subtracting track height.

To provide visual height to room, mount rod closer to ceiling line. In general, rods should be mounted at least 6-8" above window frame, if you have wall space.
