- How do I measure for curtain rods and tracks?
Measuring an Existing Curtain Rod or Track
If you already have a curtain rod or curtain track installed, measuring is simple. Measure the total length of the rod or track from end to end, excluding any decorative finials. This measurement gives you the exact length required when ordering replacement curtain rods or tracks in New Zealand.
Step-by-Step Guide: Measuring for New Curtain Rods & Tracks
- Step 1: Measure the window recess width, shown as (A). This is the internal width of the window opening. Record this measurement accurately.
- Step 2: Measure the space on each side of the window recess, shown as (B) and (C). These extensions allow curtains to stack clear of the glass and maximise natural light. Typically, allow between 150mm and 350mm on each side. As a guide, a 2000mm window should have at least 200mm each side, while a 3000mm window should have at least 300mm each side. For heavy or blockout curtains, allow additional clearance.
- Step 3: Add the three measurements together to calculate the required curtain rod or track length. Formula: (B) + (A) + (C) = Total rod or track length.
Once you have calculated the correct curtain rod or track length, you’re ready to start shopping with confidence, knowing your measurements are accurate and suited to your New Zealand home.
Note: Curtain rod lengths do not include finials. Finial lengths vary by design and are listed individually in the specification tab under each finial.
Handy Measuring Hints
- All our custom curtain tracks and curtain rods are manufactured to your exact measurements for a precise fit.
- When measuring, it’s best to have someone hold the other end of the tape measure, as even metal tape measures can bend or drop when fully extended.
- All curtain track and rod measurements are shown in millimetres (mm).
- If space is limited on either side of the window, choosing a smaller finial may be more suitable. Finial lengths are listed in the finial section under the specification tab. As always, measure twice for accuracy.
