Taking your measurements & fitting your tracks
Two simple steps for a flawless result. And if you'd rather not, we take the measurements and fit everything in your home, anywhere in the Hérault.
1
Taking the measurements
- Width (W): measure the width of the track, not the window. Allow an overhang of 15 to 20 cm on each side so the glass is fully cleared once the curtains are open.
- Height (H): measure carefully from floor to ceiling. Then choose the bottom finish: 1 to 2 cm above the floor (the curtain stays clear of the floor and keeps clean), skimming (the curtain just rests on the floor) or pooling (it trails on the floor, plus 3 to 8 cm to taste).
- Mounting: our tracks are fitted to the ceiling - a clean, contemporary look that draws the eye upwards and suits every interior.

Fitting the track or rod
- Mark a straight guide line on the ceiling, at your chosen distance from the wall.
- Position a bracket about 10 cm from each end, then one bracket every 70 cm to keep the track from sagging.
- Drill, plug and screw the brackets (plugs suited to your ceiling).
- Clip the track onto the brackets and check that it is level.
- Hang the curtains on the gliders, then shape the pleats by hand for an even drape.
