About curtain drop effects
There are various drop effects (or finishes) available for your curtains, and the good news is—they are easy to measure, order and install yourself. Just measure for the look you want to create!
On our website, we explain each drop effect and how to measure for them, but here’s a quick rundown for you:
Hover effect
The curtain ‘hovers’ just above the floor, making it easier to clean underneath. This finish is also practical for curtains positioned over exit doors or behind furniture, and in homes where you have pets. Curtains with a hover effect can sit approximately 10-15mm above the floor.
How to measure:
Measure down to the floor and subtract between 10-15mm. This will be the finished size that you order. We will make the curtain to this measurement.
Just touching
The curtain just touches the floor for a completed look. Curtains with a just touching effect should sit approximately 5-10mm above the floor.
How to measure:
Measure down to the floor and subtract between 5-10mm. This will be the finished size that you order. We will make the curtain to this measurement.
Breaking gently
To create a sense of luxury and grandeur, add additional length to your curtain so that it ‘breaks’ (or puddles) gently over the floor. Curtains with a breaking gently effect can puddle on the floor by approximately 20-40mm (personal choice).
How to measure:
Measure down to the floor and add between 20-40mm. This will be the finished size that you order. We will make the curtain to this measurement.
