How much curtain heading tape will I require for my project?

Well, that does depend on the width of your curtains, as you will require one length of heading tape for each curtain. Before you begin, it is important that you measure your window to ensure that you have the right measurement. We recommend using a metal tape measure for extra accuracy, yet if you already have curtains in place, it may be easier just to measure these directly. Some of our heading tape is sold by the metre so that you can order exactly how much you require for your project. We always recommend ordering just a little extra, just in case!

Count out how many curtain hooks you have, and then ensure that these are distributed evenly throughout your heading tape.
