Beyond 250 cm, standard curtains no longer keep up. Large patio doors, high ceilings, glazed walls and lofts go past the sizes sold in shops. A curtain that is too short lets light in at the top and the bottom, and breaks the proportions of the room.
Made-to-measure solves this: you give your real height, Kurtens makes to that exact dimension. No drape that floats, no hem that drags. To take the right measurement, follow our guide to measuring a made-to-measure curtain.
The maximum height Kurtens makes
Kurtens makes curtains up to 400 cm tall, to the exact centimetre. You enter your precise height in the configurator, without being limited to a preset size.
Most curtains on the market top out at around 230 cm in a few fixed sizes. The table shows the gap.

An extra-long curtain is not limited to a polyester blackout panel. The Kurtens range covers several fabrics, several weights, varied colours and patterns, from light sheers to dense curtains. You choose the material and the look to suit your room, not the other way round.
On very large heights, the weight of the fabric matters: a heavy fabric needs a solid wall fixing, a light fabric works with simpler brackets. The team guides you according to your project in the made-to-measure catalogue
Three steps: measure, choose, order. Take the height from the hanging point down to the floor or the level you want, then the width. Our sizing guide sets out the method case by case.
Then choose the heading: eyelets for a large-fold drape, pencil pleat for a dense gather, or rod pocket. The heading guide compares the systems by height and weight. For the shade, the colour guide helps you match the curtain to your interior.
