Rules for Measuring Drapes and Curtains

A.-
WIDTH –is always measured and expressed first
when ordering.
HEIGHT –is always measured and expressed second
when ordering.
B. -
Use a RETRACTABLE METAL TAPE MEASURE to ensure accuracy 
(ie: NEVER use a cloth tape measure or a yard stick)
C. -
NEVER measure the existing drape or window covering.
You WILL NOT get an accurate measure this way.
