How to Use Our Measurement Tool for a Bulletproof Fit

Easy Measurement Checklist for Durable Custom Curtains
-
Step 1: Input Rod Width (Not Window Width)
Our tool starts with the rod. Rule of thumb: Extend 6-10" past the frame on each side. Enter this number into our calculator to determine panel width. This ensures full coverage when curtains are closed and proper light blocking.
-
Step 2: Calculate Stack Back (Maximize Light)
Want your new windows fully exposed when curtains are open? Our Stack Back Calculator tells you exactly how much extra rod width you need based on your fabric choice. This ensures your curtains stack completely clear of the window when open.
-
Step 3: Choose Fullness for Durability
For durable fabrics like Lesley, we recommend 2x fullness. This creates deep, rich pleats that hide wear and tear better than flat panels. Our calculator automatically adjusts fabric requirements based on your selected fullness level.
-
Final Checklist
✅ Did you use the Stack Back Calculator to ensure clear views?
✅ Did you choose a "Hover" length (0.5" off floor) to keep hems clean from pet hair?
✅ Is your rod mounted securely into studs (essential for heavier durable drapes)?

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our durable curtains and measurement process.
How do I measure for a new home if the rods aren't installed yet?
Use our "Rod Width Calculator" rule: If you don't have a rod or track yet, measure your window frame width and add 6-10 inches on each side to determine the approximate rod/track width needed.
For rod height placement, we recommend mounting as close to the ceiling as possible—at least 4-6 inches above the window frame. This creates the illusion of taller windows and allows your curtains to be pulled completely clear of the window when open, maximizing natural light and your view.
Are these durable curtains safe for nurseries?
Yes! Our fabrics are OEKO-TEX certified (non-toxic) and durable enough to withstand frequent cleaning. We understand that nursery environments require extra attention to safety and cleanliness. Our curtains contain no harmful chemicals or substances that could affect your little one's health. Additionally, they're designed to maintain their appearance despite frequent washing, making them perfect for the high-maintenance requirements of a nursery setting.
Does the "Tom" scratch-resistant curtain look stiff?
Not at all. Despite being durable, it maintains a soft, airy sheer look thanks to our specialized weaving technology. Our innovative manufacturing process creates a fabric that combines the delicate appearance and graceful drape of traditional sheers with remarkable durability. The Tom Series actually flows beautifully while providing superior resistance to damage from pets and everyday wear and tear.
What's the difference between Tom Series and Lesley Series?
The Tom Series features our scratch-resistant sheer fabric, ideal for areas where you want light filtration while maintaining privacy and protection from pet claws. The Lesley Series offers a more substantial poly-blend fabric with room-darkening properties, perfect for bedrooms and areas where you want more light control. Both series feature our proprietary durability technology and are machine washable.
