How do I measure for stage curtains?

Accurate measurements are crucial for a proper fit. Avoid common mistakes by following these steps:

Measure the width: Measure the opening where the curtain will hang, adding extra width for proper pleating and fullness (typically 1.5 to 2 times the width of the opening).
Measure the height: Measure from the intended hanging point to the floor, adding extra length for hemming and pooling (typically 6 to 12 inches).
Consider the type of heading: Different heading styles (e.g., grommets, pinch pleats, etc.) require different measurements and considerations.
Consult our experts: Our team at Stagecurtain.in can provide personalized guidance and ensure your measurements are accurate.

Remember to carefully document your measurements and provide them to us to avoid costly delays.
