Measure For Bay

How To Measure For Your Bay Window Curtains. Click here if you are measuring for curtains for ordinary windows Click here to measure for blinds You can print this page and use it as a guide when measuring and ordering your curtains.
All our curtains are made to measure and lined in cream with matching tiebacks. We believe we have one of the largest and most varied ranges of styles available. We can also make curtains for unusual shaped windows such as arched or Venetian windows. Please contact us with your requirements and we will send you a quotation.
Bay Window Option 1.
	One pair of curtains straight across the bay opening A to B ( fig. 1 ). This is the cheaper of the options. We only need the normal measurements - width x length. Use the instructions above. Please make sure the pelmet is wide enough to attach to the wall either side.
Cost: As these are normal curtains the cost is the same as shown for any of our curtain designs. Please refer to the particular design you have chosen. Click here to get to the Curtain Design Index
For windows on the doors of your doll's house, make sure that floor length curtains will clear the floor when the door is closed. and that pelmets, especially ornate ones, will not obstruct the closing of the doors.
Bay Window Option 2.
	A shaped pelmet can go into the bay ( fig. 2 ).
	We will need an accurate template of the shape of the bay area. ( fig. 3 ) The easiest way to do this is by placing a sheet of paper into the bay and the folding back the edges until you have a good fit. When it fits run your nail along the folds to get a good sharp crease. Once you have ordered your curtains, we will, before making your curtains, send you a pelmet board for you to check the fit. Please note that wood cornices or trim are not available on shaped bay window pelmets. We can, however, adapt all of our designs to fit into a bay window.
Finally: Fill in on the order page the total width measurement (including the extra on each side) and the total length measurement ( from 1/2" above the frame to the bottom of the curtains). Please let us know if they are not to be floor length as this may affect the position of the tie-backs. Don't forget to send the template.
Cost: Choose the style, fabric,trim etc. from our curtain pages. If the style you have chosen has a wood trim or cornice ( not available for bay windows) deduct £5.00. Multiply by the number of windows your bay has i.e. x3 for a 3 window bay, x 5 for a 5 window bay etc. Click here to get to the Curtain Design Index
