What is Curtain Fullness?

Understanding curtain fullness is essential when ordering Made to Measure curtains.

Curtain fullness is the relationship between the length of the curtain track or pole and the amount of fabric used in the curtains. If your curtain pole is 1m long and the curtain is 2m wide, the fullness is 2 times, or written 2x. This means that there is twice as much fabric in the width as the pole length.

The extra fabric used across the width of the curtain provides a richer look by increasing the visual depth of field and gives better sound and light absorption.

Britannia Rose applies fullness to its pencil pleat curtains as this style benefits more from using extra fabric when hung up.
