CURTAIN RODS :
CHOOSING THE LENGTH
CURTAINS OR SHEERS : HOW TO
SELECT APPROPRIATE WIDTH
Madura offers different styles of exclusive
rods and hardware.
Madura’s curtains and sheers are “prêt à poser”,
meaning they are ready to be installed immediately.
The rod should be longer than the width of the window
in order to let in more light and to give the impression
of a larger opening.
They come with the gathering tape or grommets already installed. They are sold in three
widths : 57” (1,45 m), 78.7” (2,00 m), 137.8”
(3,50 m).
