Measuring for Ripplefold Drapes and Determining Your Stack-back 

1.     Ripplefold Drapes are typically mounted a minimum of 4” - 6” above any window casings.

2.     When determining your rod width you must decide whether you want your drapes “stacked back” off of your window (this means that you do not want the drapes to cover your window when open). This is a personal preference.

3.     If stack-back is not an issue for you, meaning you don’t mind if the panels cover part of your window when open) then you can order drapes based on the width of your rod from bracket to bracket.

4.     The chart below can be used to determine stack back for Ripplefold drapes using a medium weight drapery fabric.     

It is quite possible that you may not have enough wall space to accommodate the above stack back figures. If this is the case, then we suggest using the widest rod width you can get in the space you have. 

The chart below can be used as a guideline for you in determining the width size you need for functioning pinch pleated drapes. 

DRAPERY LENGTH MEASUREMENT: 

Measure from where the top of the track will be to where you want the bottom hem of the drapery to be. Since the drapery hangs below the track, the height of the track should be deducted from your measurement to obtain your drapery ordering length. For Wall Track Mount deduct 1 1/2" and for Ceiling Track Mount deduct 1 1/4" from length. Drapery panels will be made to the exact length you specify

TRACK HARDWARE WIDTH MEASUREMENT: 

Measure the width of the window or doorway area you wish to cover. Consider extending hardware out from the edges of your window as much as 6"- 12" on each side, when possible, to maximize natural light when the drapery is open. Your custom track will be made to the exact width you specify.

DRAPERY WIDTH MEASUREMENT:

Your drapery width should be the same as the track width; there is no need to add width to ensure fullness. As noted above, the width of your drapery panels will be 1.8 times the track width so that the drapery will provide full, ample coverage when closed.

Because the number of carriers in your ripple-fold hardware and drapery are determined based on the track width, it is important that you specify the same width for both the track hardware and drapery.

PANEL CONFIGURATION:

For each drapery span, you may choose a single panel to cover the entire width, or a pair of equal panels.

You must choose the same panel configuration for both your custom Ripple-Fold drapery and custom track hardware orders so that we can construct them to work together.

Single Panel: One individual panel of fabric, made to cover the entire span of your drapery track.

Choose from: 

• Left panel: Drapery closes from left to right. Left edge of drapery is stationary.
• Right panel: Drapery closes from right to left. Right edge of drapery is stationary. 

Pair: Two equal panels (1 left, 1 right); the total width coverage you specify will be automatically divided in 2.

TRACK MOUNT TYPE (WALL OR CEILING MOUNT)

WALL MOUNT: 

• Track can be mounted at any height along the wall. 
• In rooms with high ceilings, mounting the track lower on the wall allows greater ease of opening and closing drapery.

 CEILING MOUNT 

• Track is mounted to the ceiling. 
• Ideal when there is little room between the top of window or door and the ceiling. 
• Extending drapery from floor to ceiling creates a seamless, dramatic effect

Alternative Lining Choices:

1.  Blackout lining is used in place of privacy lining to filter light completely out of a room. It also provides insulation and UV protection for your drapes.

2.  Thermal lining can be used in place privacy lining for those who need better insulation properties. Thermal lining also provides better UV protection for your drapes than standard privacy lining.

3.  Classic napped lining is a high end lining that offers the look of a premium sateen lining with the added bonus of thermal and noise reduction. The outer side of the lining is a premium sateen while the inner side of the fabric has raised flannel like fibers that will add body and drapeablility to your window treatments.
