How to Measure for Drapes

“Measuring for drapes is not a complicated process,” according to FactoryDirectDrapes.com. “In fact, it is relatively easy if you simply follow the directions we provide.”

Rules for Measuring for Drapes

  • WIDTH is always measured and expressed first when ordering.
  • HEIGHT is always measured and expressed second when ordering.
  • Use a retractable metal tape measure to ensure accuracy (i.e.: never use a cloth tape measure or a yard stick)
  • Never measure the existing drape or window covering. You will not get an accurate measure this way.
