Curtain Sizes

Curtains come in a handful of ready-made lengths and widths, so the question is usually which one your window and rod height call for. These pages turn your measurements into a length and a width, show the standard sizes, and cover 8 and 9 foot ceilings and shower curtains. The rules of thumb used (rod height, fullness) differ between sources, so each page shows where its numbers come from.
