Ɣ If ordering stationary panels (curtains that do not need to close), you may be able to
ordering a drapery with less coverage. Contact our design assistants for advice.c

Tips for Measuring Length:c

Ɣ Jrapery installed high above a window or door creates a dramatic look that
makes your ceilings appear higher. If you desire this look, choose a finished
length that is long enough so that the drapery may be installed higher.c
Ɣ A small puddle of 1´ to 6´ adds an elegant look to your drapery. If you desire a
 puddle, add the desired puddle amount into your finished measurement. See
the puddle guide below for guidance.c
Ɣ For drapery that will be opened and closed frequently, we recommend ordering
a length that will keep the drapery approximately 1/2" off the floor.c
Ɣ Globusliving uses the finest materials available to create your custom curtains.
Because our fabrics are made of natural fibers there may be slight changes in
length due to variables out of our control. This is considered a normal feature
of these fabrics; however, if it is of concern, consider ordering a length that
includes a small puddle.c
