A Stack-Right Drape is a single panel that when opened will stack (gather) the drape on the right side of your window when looking at it from the inside of your room.  Single panel drapes are common for sliders and French doors.  You typically want the drape to stack away from the functioning side of the slider or French door.

A Single Curtain Rod is an adjustable rod used for window treatments where there will not be an overlap of valances or window sheers for drapes.   Single rods come in a variety of adjustable widths.

SINGLE CURTAIN RODS WORK BEST WHEN THERE IS JUST A SINGLE WINDOW TREATMENTS SUCH AS A VALANCE OR DRAPES

• With the exception of Rod Pocket drapes, all drapes require drapery pins so they can be attached to a variety of hardware options.  Drapery pins are small metal hooks attached to the back of the drape and are not visible into the room.

• When using decorative hardware, the pin slips into a tiny eyelet on the decorative ring and holds the drapery in place.

• As an option, the rings can be sewn to the drapery fabric and thus pins would not be used.  Some drape styles such as the Flat Panel cannot use pins and the rings must be sewn on.

Ring clips attach to the drapery fabric when drapery pins are not used or not wanted.  Clips can be made visible by attaching to the top of the drape or completely hidden by attaching to the back of drape pleat.

A window treatment’s return is the distance it projects from the wall to the front of the window treatment.  You decide the distance based what other products you may have on the window such as drapes, shades or blinds.

Drapes can be used strictly for decorative purposes or for privacy.  If you want to close the drapes for privacy, you need to measure the window from end of casing to end of casing.  We recommend adding 8-10″ on each side if you have a slider or larger window for stacking.  Please enter that final measurement when you place your order.

If you want decorative panels that you are not planning on closing, you should order approximately 48″ wide for a standard size window.  Each panel would measure 24″ wide when pleated.

On the flat measuring is a simple concept.  When you take a gathered rod pocket drape or valance and lie it flat on a table you will be measuring the flat width.  If the flat measurement is 50″, you will typically get 25″ of window coverage when installed on the rod at 2 to 1 fullness.  Fullness is how much you gather the window treatment on the rod.
