Curtains: pre-made: common sizes
 

Anyone know what the common ready-made curtain sizes are in the UK?

Window size is 234 x 120 cm drop

I think 138 cm (56 inch) drop is a standard size.

Window width is about 96 inch, so I reckon two pre-made curtains of 60
inch width = 120 inchs would be OK.

So I would need a pair of 60 inch x 56 inch drop pre-made curtains. Is
this a common size?

Thanks

Google is your friend "ready made curtains site:uk" look at the John
Lewis site.

You may want to go up to twice the actual window width depending on the
style of curtain and how much pleating you want.

Thanks, BBC.
Looks like a standard size of 66 in x 54 in drop may be OK.

Not sure how they measure them, but curtains that are tight when closed
look cheap. IIRC, 2.5 times the window width is about right.

137cm - 54" is the closest standard size.

That is not much of a gather. The absolute recommended minimum is 1.5 times,
which would be 144" total = 2 x 72" curtains. However, the curtains will
look much better if you use a 90" width
