What height of window will be best for Drapery
Drapery Cleaning in El Segundo — I had a call from a gentleman who needed help with some drapes he bought at a big box retail store. He wanted to know whether the two panels he bought could be sewn together to create them into a panel for both story windows.
That is not the way to do it, although I am all about extending your decorating dollars. It is probably safe to say these two story windows are most likely a big focal point in the room, therefore store bought would stick out like a sore thumb.
Store bought curtains cannot be expected to do what custom draperies can. They’re mass produced and only come in standard lengths 63″, 84″, 95″, 96″ and 108″. Both story window is most likely going to be over 200″at the least; a mean of approximately 216″. I am certain I don’t have to state the obvious that in case you sew two drapes together, you will see a seam running across it in the center of the curtain panel, and that’s a dead giveaway they were not designed for your window.
Store bought drapes are not usually adequately lined and interlined. The pleating at the header (if one exists) is generally sloppy rather than tailored with buckram. They’re also usually not wide enough and they don’t have weights sewn into the hem. These are just some of the pieces that come together to make custom tailored drapery panels designed for your window up. Store bought drapes do not take into account that the wall and floor are not flat and there has to be some tweaking onsite at installment
That is what you pay for if you hire a professional to design and create your custom drapery. These variables are considered by us after assessing your windows along with the walls, ceiling and flooring
In some cases we do color-block drapery panels, but those require a layout strategy to Ensure the seams fall in just the Correct place on the walls, or the proportions work well overall
Now think about what it takes to install two story drapery panels. Its really is a much larger undertaking than many homeowners realize and therefore the price is questioned by them.
Some brave installer must get on a ladder (or scaffolding) to put in your new custom draperies. He’s got to have a vehicle large enough to transport a very large ladder. He has to have insurance. It will take a lot more time than windows plus it needs tools to ensure the hardware is secured to the walls
