How to measure bay windows
Bay windows are a stunning feature in any home, but often present quite a challenge to dress. We have a specialist team who are here to help you create the perfect solution for your unique window.
All you need do is supply us with a paper template of your window, which is very easy to make. Just follow the simple steps below.

BAY WINDOW FORM
Use something robust like wallpaper or brown paper for the template
Newspaper is too flimsy and tears easily. An old roll of wallpaper is ideal. Push the paper to the back of the window and fold the corners to follow the angles (figure 1). Do this at ground level, not at pole height.
Cut away the excess paper to show the angles
Mark on the template where you would like the finials to begin.
Mark on the template where you would like the brackets to be. Let us know the depth of your skirting board so we can take this into account.
Let us know if you have a deep window sill which your curtain needs to fall in front of. We will make the necessary allowances for the depth of the bracket from the wall and any sills you’ve advised us of.
We offer our bay window poles in two diameters, 20mm and a more substantial 25mm option.
We offer a wide range of
finial designs that perfectly complement your forged iron pole. Choose from over 15 styles from traditional to modern, all beautifully handmade.
We offer two styles of brackets, the classic Chapel and more formal Brett that can be used at either end of your bay pole with adjustable passing brackets in-bewteen.
The passing system enables curtains to be drawn around the curve of your bay window. The adjustable passing brackets will be used along side your choice of Chapel or Brett brackets and work with our innovate passing rings.

We make an extensive range of elegant curtain holdbacks, in a choice of styles, sizes and finishes.
