Custom Drapery & Curtains Bramalea – Free Installation

About 100 to 150 millimetres above the casing, or right at the ceiling line if the wall above the window is shorter than that. Higher reads taller. The panels then break just off the floor, which is where a room with an ordinary ceiling gets most of its height back. We set the exact position at the measure with you standing in the room.

Yes, and it is one of the more common orders we take here. The verticals keep doing the daily work of tilting and stacking, and the panels sit on a rod outside the frame so they never interfere with the track. Stack the drapery wide enough to clear the doorway completely. What the fabric adds is warmth at the glass and a softer edge to a large opening.

Flat panels want roughly double the width of the opening so they still look full when closed, and a little more than that for a pinch pleat. On a 3 metre window that means about 6 metres of fabric across two panels. We also add width for the return to the wall at each end. The measure gives you the exact amount before anything is cut.

It depends on how heavy the panels are. Lined drapery across a wide slider takes real effort to pull twice a day, and a track motor removes that. On a single window with light fabric a hand draw is fine and nobody misses the motor. Battery track motors mount without wiring, which suits these homes, and they run on the same remote as any motorized blinds you have.
