For Pleat Heading Style

Step 1: Measure the Curtain Rod Width and Placement

If you have installed a curtain rod, measure the length of the rod.

If a curtain rod is not installed, first check where the curtain rod will be installed above and to the sides of the window frame. Consider how high you want the rod to be to create the desired visual effect.

Height Above the Window Frame: Curtain rods are usually mounted 6-10 inches above the window frame to give the impression of a taller window. Lightly mark this height with a pencil or use masking tape as a guide.

Width Beyond the Window Frame: To allow room for the curtain stack, extend the rod 6-15 inches beyond each side of the window frame. Lightly mark these spots with a pencil or use masking tape as a guide.

Step 2: Know INOUTZCURT's Standard Fullness

To prevent your drapes from looking flat like a stretched sheet, it’s important to consider adding fullness for extra width.

Pleated Styles

The fabric’s fullness is already factored into the design. We use 160-200% fabric fullness to create the pleats, ensuring the curtains have a rich and luxurious appearance.

1.6x Fullness for pinch pleat, tailored pleat, inverted pleat, and goblet styles.

2x Built-in Fullness for pinch pleat, tailor pleat, inverted pleat, and goblet style.

2.3x Built-in Fullness for triple pleat and triple tailor pleat style.

Step 3: Determine The Width And Length of The Curtains

Liner shading guide

For Soft Top & Grommet Heading Style

The default fullness is set at 100%, but for drapes, you should aim for a fullness of 160-200% of the final measured width. A 160% fullness will give a more tailored look, while 200% fullness, which is recommended, will create a richer, more luxurious appearance. Here's a quick guide on recommended fullness:

1.6 times of the curtain rod length is a moderate gather.

2 times of the curtain rod length is a standard gather.

You'll need to choose the fullness ratio based on the type of header you're using. Additionally, you'll need to determine how many panels are necessary to achieve your desired fullness, as the fullness ratio can vary depending on the header style.

Determine The Width of Curtains

· For Pleated Style, Single Panel Width = Rod Track Full Length / Panel Quantity

· For Soft Top Style, Single Panel Width = (Rod Track Full Length x 200% fullness) / Panel Quantity

· For Grommet Style, Single Panel Width = (Rod Track Full Length x 200% fullness) / Panel Quantity

· For Ripple Fold Style, Single Panel Width = Rod Track Full Length / Panel Quantity
