![]() Whatever type of curtain you are interested in, it’s essential you give us the right measurements. This requires nothing more than noting down a simple drop and width measurement of the opening area to be curtained. However, where these measurements are taken from is extremely important because the measuring points are not the same for all door types and/or display cabinet formats.
To avoid mistakes, please scroll down to see how to measure the space you would like curtained. If you're still not sure and would like to discuss your space with us, please contact us.
Standard pedestrian door
The measurements are:
Drop (D) Measure from the underside of the door lintel/frame all the way to the ground.
Width (W) Measure between the two inner side edges of the door frame. Note: Should you wish your curtain to be face-fitted rather than soffit-fitted (so it overhangs the door at either side) please allow for this in your measurements. Sectional overhead door
![]() The measurements are:
Drop (D) Measure from just beneath where the curve of the door runner begins to the ground.
Width (W) Measure from the outside edges of the door runners.
Folding shutter door (concertina style)
![]() ![]() The measurements are:
Drop (D) Measure from the top of the door guide to the ground.
Width (W) Measure between the outer edges of the left and right doors.
NOTE: If you tend not to fully open the doors, a more economical solution is to have curtains covering just the usual working opening. To do this, measure between the two inside edges of the partly opened doors - Opening (O) - and give us this measurement instead of Width (W).
Rolling shutter/grille door
![]() ![]() The measurements are:
Drop (D) With the door fully open, measure from just below the door spool housing to the ground.
Width (W) Measure between the outer edges of the door guides.

![]() ![]() The measurements are:
Drop Length (L) Measure from the underside of the fascia to the top for the base sill.
Width (W) Measure between the two inner edges.
Note: If your unit has back frame struts or any other obstructions
We will need the size and position of these as this will affect the rail fixing position.
