Professional Measuring Visit

Measure + Consultation

A premium measuring and consultation service for shaped, angled, apex and made-to-measure curtain projects. We don't just measure the window, we assess the full space, the fixing options, the curtain design and the installation requirements.

Why the measuring stage matters

With apex and shaped windows, small mistakes can affect the finished curtain length, slope, stacking, track position and overall appearance. A proper consultation helps avoid costly errors before the curtains are made.

Better design decisions before manufacture
Clearer advice on fabric, lining and heading style
More accurate planning for difficult windows
A smoother installation stage later

What We Check

A detailed visit designed to remove guesswork.

Every window is different. We check the shape, height, fixing points, room layout and practical limitations so your curtain project can be planned with confidence.

Accurate measuring

We take the key width, height, slope, fixing and drop measurements needed for made-to-measure curtain planning.

Window assessment

We look at the shape of the window, ceiling height, wall space, track position and any awkward angles.

Room guidance

We consider how the curtains will sit in the room, how they will stack, how they will open and how they will look from inside and outside.

Practical advice

We advise on suitable headings, track types, lining options, fabric weight and whether extra support or access equipment may be needed.

Measured Details

The details we look for during the visit.

The goal is to gather enough information to plan the right curtain style, avoid design issues and make sure the finished product suits the window properly.

For complex apex or gable end windows, a template or further technical check may be recommended before manufacture, especially where the final curtain shape must follow an angle precisely.

Consultation Process

What happens during the visit.

01

We understand your project

We discuss your window type, room, preferred look, privacy needs, light control and the finish you want to achieve.

02

We inspect the window

We check the width, height, slopes, ceiling line, fixing surfaces, access, obstructions and the best curtain position.

03

We take precise measurements

We record the key dimensions needed to plan the curtain, track and finished drop properly before manufacture.

04

We advise on the best solution

We explain suitable curtain headings, track styles, fabric direction, lining options and installation considerations.

05

We prepare the next step

After the visit, we can prepare a clear recommendation or quotation based on the agreed style and project requirements.

Important: measuring is not just about size.

A curtain can be the correct size and still not be the right solution if the heading, track position, fabric weight, stack space or fixing method has not been planned properly. That is why our consultation looks at the complete curtain system, not just the measurements.

Correct position
Correct finish
Correct installation plan

Continue the Journey

After measuring, the next stage is design and making.

Once the window has been measured and assessed, we can move into the curtain design stage — choosing the right fabric, lining, heading, fullness and final finish.
