Curtain pole diameter sizes.

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. 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.

Have a steel tape measure ready and something to write all of your measurements down as you go along. It s large enough to allow for. Measure the length of the pole between the finials decorative ends. Measure the width of the rod from left to right.

A grommet that is 1 4 inch larger than the rod diameter slides smoothly along the rod.
