How to Measure for Drapery

To ensure a perfect fit for your SmartView motorized drapery, accurate measurements are crucial. Follow these steps based on your chosen mount type to achieve the best results.

Mount Type 1: Wall to Wall

Width Measurement Measure the precise width from wall to wall and round down to the nearest 1/8 inch. Order at the exact opening size with no deductions. It determines the length of the drapery rod. Note that when fully opened, the drapes will gather to about 20% of the total width (10% fabric stack on each side).

Height Measurement Measure from the exact location you want the shades to cover. The default position of the tracks is 2 inches (5 cm)above the window. Our factory will automatically deduct 1/2 inch (1.5 cm)from the height to prevent the fabric from dragging on the ground. Order Height = Fabric Height + 2.5 inches (6.5 cm).

Mount Type 2: Window Trim to Window Trim

Width Measurement: Measure the precise width of the window trim to the opposite window trim and round down to the nearest 1/8 inch. Measure your windows precisely and add the following width when ordering drapes to prevent obstruction when fully opened. For window widths between 59 - 106 inches, add 28 inches. For window widths between 107 - 162 inches, add 36 inches. For window widths between 163 - 220 inches, add 44 inches.
