STEP 3 | Headers

Prices include poly-cotton lining, blackout lining, or ultrasoft

blackout lining with the exception of unlined sheer fabrics.

STEP 4 | Hanging Options | Hooks or Tabs?

Both hooks or tabs can be used to hang drapery panels with Top Tack, Euro Tack, Reverse Pleat and French Pleat headers. Tabs allow you to hang drapery directly on a drapery rod without any additional hardware. Hooks allow you to hang drapery on rings or gliders and allow for better mobility. Hooks will be placed 0.5" from the top of the header.

Standard Rod  |  TABS

Tabs are sewn behind each pleat so that the drapery panel can be hung directly on the rod. This option limits mobility and is ideal for panels that are intended to remain stationary.

Standard Rod with Rings  |  HOOKS

Hooks are placed behind each pleat so that the drapery panel can be hung on rings. This leaves the rod exposed.

Channel Rod with Gliders  |  HOOKS

Hooks are placed behind each pleat so that drapery panels can be hung on gliders that move through a channel rod. Rod can be left exposed or hidden by adjusting the position of the hooks.

Channel Track with Gliders  |  HOOKS

Hooks are placed behind each pleat so that the drapery panel can be hung on gliders that move through a channel track. Brackets are placed above the track and will not interfere with the movement of drapery.

STEP 5 | Measurements STEP 6 | Decorative Trim

Completely customizable. Pricing is provided for each fabric collection in a width by length chart format for up to 104" wide and 130" long. If greater length or width is required, please call for a quote.

A General Guide in Measuring Windows for Drapery Panels

Determine the height of your drapery rod. Do you want your drapery to go to the ceiling,
just above the window frame, or somewhere in between? This will determine the length
of your drapery.

 

Determine the width of your drapery rod. Keep in mind that when the drapery panel is open,

or “stacked”, the stacked fabric will take up space. When the drapery is stacked do you want
it to hang beside the window, or is it acceptable for the drapery to partially cover the window?

 

Determine the width of your drapery panels. Not all heading styles have
the same fullness. Pleated and ripplefold panels have 2x fullness built into their
width measurements, while grommets and European tacked panels are flat.
One width of fabric will cover 26" of window at 2x fullness.

 

Determine the finished length of your drapery panels. After choosing
your drapery header, hanging option and hardware, measure accordingly
(no clearance from the floor):

 

Measure from the top of the drapery rod or track to the floor,

 

a.  Pleated panels with tabs hung on 1 ⅛" standard rod

b.  Pleated panels with hooks hung on 1 ⅛" standard rod and rings

c.  Pleated panels hung on 1 ⅛" channel rod and gliders

d.  Pleated panels hung on channel track and gliders

e.  Grommet panels hung on 1 ⅛" standard rod

f.   Ripplefold panels hung on 1 ⅛" Ripplefold rod

g.  Ripplefold panels hung on Ripplefold track

A General Guide in Measuring Windows for Valances
OUTSIDE MOUNT

When designing an outside mounted valance, it is important to consider what other window treatments are going underneath, if any. Be sure to allow enough width and return to allow any drapery panels, roman shades or hard window coverings to operate properly.

Determine the face measurement of the valance (width). Measure the top of the outside of the window frame and add
a minimum of 2.5", or greater.

 

Determine the return measurement of the valance.

How much space is required under the valance? The width
of returns depends on what window treatments are going underneath, if any.

 

Roman Shade – 3.5" return required

Drapery panels – 5.5" return required

Two layers of drapery (side panels and sheers) –
7.5" return required

 

The face measurement plus the left and right return measurements will give you the finished width. Be sure
to indicate all three measurements when ordering.

 

Determine the length of the valance. Consider how high
above the window will the valance be placed and how much
of the widow should be covered.

Face: 19" + Left Return: 3.5" + Right Return: 3.5"

INSIDE MOUNT

Inside mounted valances are commonly used as stationary or “faux” roman shades. When designing an inside mounted valance, make sure the depth of the window frame can accommodate a 2" valance mounting board.

Determine the width of the valance by measuring

the top of the inside of the window frame.

 

Determine the length of the valance.

How much of the window should be covered?

A General Guide in Measuring Windows for Roman Shades INSIDE OR OUTSIDE MOUNT? Some things to consider…

  Does the depth of the window frame have enough space to accommodate the 2" Roman Shade track for an inside mount?

  If the roman shade is inside mounted, will there be enough window exposed when the shade is open or stacked?

  Do you want to leave the window frame exposed (inside mount) or do you want the roman shade to cover the frame (outside mount)?

  Outside mounted roman shades provide better light control and allow more freedom in determining finished length and width.

INSIDE MOUNT

Determine the width of the Roman Shade.

Measure the width of the inside of the window frame at the top, middle and bottom to ensure the window is symmetrical. If the window is not symmetrical, use the measurement at the narrowest point.

 

Determine the length of the Roman Shade.

Measure the length of the inside of the window
frame on the left and right sides to ensure symmetry. Again, if the window is not symmetrical, use the measurement at the shortest point.

 

Determine whether you would like the Roman Shade control on the left or right
of the window.

This guide pertains to Starlight Drapery Roman Shades

OUTSIDE MOUNT

Determine the width of the Roman Shade.

 

a. Measure the width of the outside of the window frame
at the top, middle and bottom to ensure the window is symmetrical. If the window is not symmetrical, use the measurement at the widest point.

 

b. Add a minimum of ½ inch to this measurement to ensure the Roman Shade covers the width of the window frame, or greater.

 

Determine the length of the Roman Shade.

 

a. Measure the length of the outside of the window frame on the left and right sides to ensure symmetry. Again, if the window is not symmetrical, use the measurement at the longest point.

 

b. Add a minimum of 2" to accommodate the roman shade track and an additional 1" to ensure the roman covers the length of the window frame, or greater.

 

Determine whether you would like the Roman Shade

control on the left or right of the window.

Lining Why Lining?
Quality blackout lining adds weight to your drapes, giving them fullness and more rounded pleats. The natural ivory colour compliments your home and keeps is uniform from the outside. It prevents light from entering the room and prolongs the life of your drapes by protecting the face fabric from harmful UV rays which cause fading. Blackout lining also helps insulate rooms, keeping them warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer, and reduces noise that may come in through windows.
