Measuring for Door Panel curtains and Sidelights

Door Panels and Sidelights have rod pockets and headers at the top and bottom.


Measurements are from rod to rod, and do not include the header at each end.


The rod to rod measurement is from the top of the top rod to the bottom of the bottom rod. This is where the tension is to hold them taunt.


If your rods are already installed, take the rod to rod measurement. It will probably be one of the standard sizes we have listed. Otherwise it will be a custom job.


If you do not have rods installed, measure your glass area. Add 4 inches to get your rod to rod measurement. This will place the rod pockets outside of the glass on the frame.


Rods should be mounted after receiving the curtains. Rods should be mounted 1 inch to each side so the lace will cover the glass.

 

More Tips
  • Flat sash rods are recommended. They hold the curtains close to the glass. There is less interference when opening and closing the door. Rod Pockets are 1.5". 
  • Door Panel Curtains and Sidelights are the same except for their width. Door curtains are wider. Sidelights are narrow for the windows to the sides of the door. For more privacy, you can use a door panel on a sidelight.
  • More fullness (gathers) offer more privacy but less light and less design.  Fullness is a personal choice.
  • Ther are custom options: lining is available, custom sizes, etc. We will be happy to help you.
