Knowing which measurement you require for your curtains or blinds can be a tricky job, so we’ve put together the information below to help you get it right.
Information for Curtains:
All of Next’s ready made curtains are sold in pairs and come in three lengths: 137cm (54”), 183cm (72”) and 229cm (90”).
The measurements quoted below are for a singular curtain. The heading tape on pencil pleat is suitable for all tracks and poles as it has three pockets to enable it to be hung at different heights.

How do I measure the curtain width?
Use a metal ruler for accuracy. Measure the full length of your track, if the track overlaps you must include the overlap.
Measure the full length of your pole and do not include the finials.
Curtain track
Curtain pole
How do I measure the curtain length?
Measure the drop from the top of the track to ensure it is covered with the curtains.
To measure pencil pleat curtains start from the small ring at the bottom of the curtain ring on the pole.
To measure tab top and eyelet curtains ensue you measure from the top of the curtain pole.
For the correct length measure as follows:
1cm above the sill for a sill length
The desired length for below a sill length product
1 cm above the floor for a floor length product
If you have a curtain track, measure from here to the desired length:
If you have a curtain pole, measure from here to the desired length.
How gathered will your curtain look?
The combination of pole length and curtain widths you choose will determine if the appearance of your curtains will have a full/tight fit or flatter/loose gather.
For example a 168cm standard width pencil pleat curtain with a suggested pole length of 150-210cm will have a full appearance with tightly gathered header tape when used with a 150cm pole. With a 210cm pole it will give a flatter appearance with a less gathered header table.
The same principle can be applied to the finished appearances of the tab tops and eyelets.

Our rugs are sold in the following sizes:
Wool rugs will shed fibres when new and during use. This is a characteristic of this kind of product type and we recommend a regular light vacuum to remove any loose fibres from the surface.
What is Halogen?
Halogen is an efficient source of light using small compact bulbs. Halogen light fittings may only be dimmed using a Next halogen specific dimmer. Please note that not all halogen lights are supplied with bulbs.
Bathroom lighting
Some lighting products are suitable for use in bathroom ‘zones’, this means that the light fitting has the required water protection needed for your bathroom. This diagram shows how a bathroom is split up into zones.
As with all electrical work, please consult with a qualified electrician if you’re in any doubt as to how to proceed. Light fitting must be installed in accordance with Part P of the Building Regulations.
How should I deal with a broken CFL (Compact fluorescent lamp)?
Although the accidental breakage of a lamp is most unlikely to cause any health problems, it’s good practice to minimise any unnecessary exposure to mercury, as well as risk of cuts from glass fragments. Vacate the room and ventilate it for at least 15 minutes. Do not use a vacuum cleaner, but clean up using rubber gloves and aim to avoid creating and inhaling airborne dust. Sweep up all particles and glass fragments and place in a plastic bag. Wipe the area with a damp cloth, then add that to the bag and seal it.
Mercury is hazardous and the bag should not be disposed of in the bin. All local councils have an obligation to make arrangements for the disposal of household hazardous waste at a civic amenity site or household waste recycling centre. Alternatively contact your local council direct.
How should I dispose of unwanted CFLS, e.g. at the end of their life?
From 1st July 2007, waste CFLs have been subject to the requirements of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations. Those who sell items such as energy efficient bulbs must provide information to the public about where they can take waste bulbs and other WEEE. Next helps to fund Designated Collection Facilities, situated in local authority civic amenity sites. From this point, producers of the equipment fund the transport, treatment and recycling, where most of the mercury can be recovered.
