Measuring Suggestions:

Outside Mount - Outside mounted treatments will be made to the exact dimensions provided.

Width: Measure the exact width of the window, including any frame. Add a minimum of 4” to each side (8” total overlap) to ensure light control and privacy.

Height: Measure the height of the window from the top edge of the molding to the bottom edge of the molding, sill or floor. Add a minimum of 4” to allow for an adequate mounting area above the window.

Width: Measure inside the window casing at the top, middle and bottom. Record the narrowest measurement. No deduction will be taken on width.

It is recommended Decorative Traverse Rods, Draperies & Side Panels be vacuumed periodically with a brush or drapery hose attachment. Professional cleaning is recommended for all Custom Drapery Panels. A professional drapery cleaner may be found in the yellow pages or on the internet.

Pin settings

The standard pin setting is 1-3/4”down from the top of the drapery.Other pin settings are available upon request at no charge. The pin setting for an under treatmentis 1/2”. When ordering a drapery with a Decorative Traverse Rod the pin setting is 1/8”.

Undertreatments

The workroom will make a 1/2” deduction from the height of draperies used as an undertreatment.

Spring back

Pleated Draperies mounted on decorative poles with loose rings may “spring back” slightly from  the closed position. To  prevent this from occurring order the drapery 10% wider than the pole width.

Example: Using a 90” width.10% is 9”. Add this 9” to the drapery width. 90” + 9” = 99”.The rod will remain at 90” wideon the order and the draperyshould be ordered at 99” wide toavoid spring back.
