Read the Curtain Glossary before Measuring

Split Panel

• Two equal curtain panels created by dividing one width into two. They open from the center.

Single Panel

• One continuous curtain panel that draws to either the left or right. It can also be used decoratively as a stationary panel.

Fullness refers to the ratio between the amount of fabric used and the width you intend to cover on your curtain track or rod. Using more fabric creates greater fullness, resulting in more elegant waves gathered at the top.

Soft Top Fullness

• 1X Fullness: Completely flat. Not recommended.
• 1.5X Fullness: Not sufficiently full unless the curtains are purely for covering the window
  and will not be frequently closed.
• 2.0X Fullness: Our top recommendation. Creates a luxurious look with rich, abundant pleats.

Grommet Fullness

• 1.8X Fullness: Offers a practical and attractive appearance.
• 2.0X Fullness: Creates a luxurious look with rich, abundant waves.

To specify:

• If you use a 42" w panel to cover a 42" w area, which is a 1x fullness, the curtains will look extremely flat.
• If you go for an 84" w panel to cover the same area, making a 2x fullness. The curtains get a charming wavy look instantly.

Pleat fullness is different from regular curtain fullness. Because pleats fold in part of the fabric, making pleated curtains already requires about double the fabric width. To create more pleats and a fuller look, we recommend adding an additional multiplier to your desired finished width. This gives the pleats a richer, more luxurious appearance.

• 1X Fullness: Completely flat.
• 1.5X Fullness: Not sufficiently full unless the curtains are purely for covering the window and will not be frequently closed.
• 2.0X Fullness: Our top recommendation.Creates a luxurious look with rich, abundant pleats. Sheers look especially beautiful with this level of fullness.

Please note: The fullness shown in the images is for demonstration purposes and may vary based on the selected width and header style.

Refers to curtain length — the way your curtains fall to the floor at different measurements.

• 1 inch above the floor
  Curtains hang 1" above the floor for a clean, crisp look. Easier to vacuum and less likely to collect dust, pet hair, or debris. An excellent option for busy households.
• Break on floor
  Curtains reach floor length, lightly touching the surface for a smooth, streamlined finish.
• Slight puddle on floor
  Curtains extend 1" onto the floor, creating a soft, intentional puddle instead of hanging straight. Not recommended for curtains that are opened and closed frequently, as the extra fabric can collect dust more easily.

Stack Back Width

• Refers to the drape width that stacks at each edge when fully open.
• Minimizing the stack back width allows your curtains to sit aside and barely touch the windows or sliding doors. It makes for max light and view.

Stack Back Depth

• Referring to the drape depth that curtains stack back when fully open.
• Leaving enough space with the stack back depth in mind ensures a crisp look for your curtains to flush in with any hardware, including rod and cornice box.

Note:

• The stack-back width is typically about 20% of the panel width you order.
• The stack back measurement is an estimate and can vary depending on the bottom style, fabric, lining, and other curtain hardware.
