How to measure for net curtains

Our net curtain department offers a vast choice of nets by the metre, voile panels, jardinieres, cafe nets and much more...

How to measure your nets;

1. DROP –
Measure from the top of the inside of your window to the sill and this will be your drop. Please go the nearest drop and don’t forget to allow for the position of your rod or net wire. This may take it slightly higher or lower. All the nets have a slot top to feed the wire or net rod through.

2. WIDTH –
Measure your window width from side to side. For a gentle gather we normally recommend the piece of net to be double the size of your window width measurement. If you like a very full gather then please triple the actual window width measurement. We cut from a roll so width edges will be cut edges, but the top has a slot top and the bottom edge is a finished edge.
E.g actual window width measures 1 metre, you would order 2 metres for double gather or 3 metres for a very full gather.


If you require 1/2 metres, any measuring or sizing advice, alterations or width edges sewn please do not hesitate to contact us on 01795 532392 Mon-Sat 9-5 or email us at-sales@whitesofkent.co.uk

Net widths available;
As our nets are cut from a roll we can cut to your requirements. The net is sold in metres so when you order from the quantity 1=1 metre width of your chosen drop. If you require a long width to be cut into smaller widths e.g if you have 2 windows the same size, you would order a certain length and then ask us to cut that length in half to fit your windows. Please let us know if you need any help or advice with this.

PLEASE NOTE THE SIZE YOU ORDER NEEDS TO INCLUDE YOUR PREFERRED GATHER AMOUNT- WE WILL CUT TO YOUR EXACT ORDER SO PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL GATHERING HAS BEEN ADDED IN YOUR QUANTITY
