If the decorative rod or track has been installed
Measure the length of the rod or the total length of the track, then measure the height from the bottom of the lifting ring to the ground. The height of the finished product is recommended to be 3 cm above the ground to avoid mopping. You can give the data to the seller.

There are different measure ways according to your window and favourite drape styles.
1) Floor-to-ceiling windows - full wall to the floor:

The curtain material is 2 times, 2.3 times, 2.5 times, 2.8 times thicker. Of course, 2.8 times the material is the best-looking, but the cost is relatively high. Ordinary materials are using 2.3 times. In this case, the cost performance is the highest, and the overall aesthetics are better and the least.
