Curtain pole diameter sizes.

Our 28mm metal bay window curtain pole kits offer two size options. Have a steel tape measure ready and something to write all of your measurements down as you go along. Getting the right measurements for your curtains is easy just follow our step by step guide. We would recommend you use the following guide line which would result in a full look with the right amount of gather.

Our county 19mm bay window curtain poles or rods are available in one size only of up to 420cms and are supplied in two halves with a 90cm add on returns kit available. A grommet that is 1 4 inch larger than the rod diameter slides smoothly along the rod. Measure the width of the rod from left to right. For ready made curtains the width of the pole track wants to be roughly the same size as one curtain.

A common rule for displaying curtains properly says the curtains finished width should be at least 2 times the width of your window if not more sheers can be 3 times the window width to achieve a look of proper fullness. Up to 420cms for a 3 sided bay window and up to 390cms for a 5 sided bay window. For example a common 1 5 8 inch grommet glides over a 1 3 8 inch diameter rod. The track or pole should be 15 20cm above your window and 15 20cm either side.
