Window Coverage Examples Many options, but most panels are installed with the majority of the panel off the window so that the client does not lose the window view. 12 -----5 5 -----12 20 Panel Example 36 Window Fully Taut Drapery Placement: 5 on Window 12 on wall (no returns back to the wall) Rod Length = 12 + 12 + 36 = 60

Very Relaxed Plain Top 18 -----5 5 -----18 20 Panel Example 66 Window Very Relaxed Placement: 5 on Window 18 on wall (3.5 returns back to the wall) Rod Length = 18 + 18 + 66 = 102

Which Size of Panel? 20 or 40? Window Size 24-60 = 20 panels Window Size 60 + = 40 panels This is a recommendation and can be altered based on your client s preference, room scale, and budget.

Measuring Panel Lengths 1. Best practice is to measure the panel to start a minimum 4 above top of window. You can add height in consideration of room room décor and client s request. 2. Best practice for length is; 4 below sill (sill length) 4 Above Window Minimum Window ½ off floor (floor length) 1 2 on floor (trouser break) 6-12 on floor (puddle length) Sill Length * Any panel length touching floor should be stationary. * Panels in the room should start at same window height Floor Floor Length Trouser Break Puddle Length

Floor length ½ off floor Trouser break 1-2 on floor Puddle length 6 12 on floor

Measuring Rod Width 1. Measure the window inside molding 2. Determine hang- fully taut, semi relaxed, or stacked 3. Determine how the drapery is going to be positioned on the wall including molding and then on the window. For example: 20 panels in the semi relaxed position may have 5 on the window and 10 on the wall/molding Drapery Width on Wall Right + Drapery Width on Wall Left + Window Size= Rod Length
