1. Create a Side View Diagram

  • Lay your entire project out on a sheet of paper
  • Dashed lines represent outer corners of your project
  • Work your way from LEFT to RIGHT (good reasons)

2. Measure Entire Exposure

  • Measure along the path that your curtain will take
  • Write widths of each side in ft-in (i.e. 9-4 means 9ft 4in).
  • Circle the heights at each corner represented in inches

3. Measure Width of Each Panel

  • Now add panel widths starting from LEFT to RIGHT. It is up to you where curtain panels start and end.
  • Panel breaks will create a doorway.
  • Try to minimize the number of panels in your project
    • to save cost,
    • to have one less opening to seal,
    • and to create the most seamless look possible.
  • Fewer large swags are prettier than many wispy swags
  • If you have shapes non-rectangular shapes that must be phoned in, this is the information we need.
