📖 Overview
Size curtain setups from real window dimensions and intended fullness, not guesswork.
The model calculates required panel count and total cut length with hemming allowance included.
It is useful for quick purchase planning during in-store fabric or panel selection.
Results keep style goals and material totals connected.
🧪 Example Scenarios
Use these default and higher-pressure example inputs to explore how sensitive this calculator is before using your real numbers.
| Input | Base Case | Higher Pressure Case |
|---|---|---|
| Window Width (in) | 96 | 110.4 |
| Window Height (in) | 84 | 96.6 |
| Fullness Multiplier | 2 | 2.3 |
| Panel Width (in) | 52 | 59.8 |
| Header Plus Hem Allowance (in) | 8 | 9.2 |
⚙️ How It Works
This calculator applies a direct math model based on the inputs above.
Quick Reference
| Input | Example Value |
|---|---|
| Window Width (in) | 96 |
| Window Height (in) | 84 |
| Fullness Multiplier | 2 |
| Panel Width (in) | 52 |
| Header Plus Hem Allowance (in) | 8 |
When To Use This
- Use this tool when you need a fast decision during active planning or execution.
- Use this before committing money, time, or tradeoffs that are hard to reverse.
- Use this to compare options using the same assumptions across scenarios.
Edge Cases To Watch
- Results can be misleading if key inputs are missing, stale, or unrealistic.
- Very small or very large values may amplify rounding effects and interpretation risk.
- If assumptions change mid-decision, recalculate before acting.
