Why a standard curtain falls short at extra height.
Beyond 250 cm, standard curtains no longer keep up. Large patio doors, high ceilings, glass roofs and lofts go past the sizes sold in stores. A curtain that falls short lets light through at the top and bottom, and breaks the proportions of the room.
Made-to-measure settles the question: you give your actual height, and Kurtens manufactures 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.
Up to what height does Kurtens manufacture
Kurtens manufactures curtains up to 400 cm in height, to the exact centimetre. You enter your exact height in the configurator, without being limited to a preset size.
Most curtains on the market top out around 230 cm in a few fixed sizes. The table shows the gap.

Which spaces call for an extra-long curtain.
Five layouts fall outside standard sizes: XXL bay windows, cathedral ceilings, lofts and mezzanines, glass roofs, and full-height French doors.
- XXL bay window: high rod and out-of-range dimensions. Made to measure gives you a clean panel at the exact height and width.
- Cathedral ceiling or sloped ceiling: variable height and a slope angle. Cut to the real height of the fixing point.
- Loft and mezzanine: open volumes, ceilings of 3 m and up. A full drop down to 400 cm with no join.
- Glass roof and atelier: metal framework and unusual height. A curtain fitted to the framework and the height.
- Full-height French door: floor-level passage and precise length. A hem that grazes the floor, with no pooling.

Extra height means extra weight: plan the fixing ahead.
The taller a curtain, the heavier it is, and the more solid its fixing must be.
A large, dense panel won't hold on a telescopic rod: it needs a robust wall fixing, anchored into a load-bearing support. A light fabric like an extra-long sheer works with simpler supports. Our fixings guide compares the systems by height and weight.
Every style, not just blackout.
An extra-long curtain is more than a polyester blackout panel. The Kurtens range covers several fabrics, several weights, a variety of colors and patterns, from light sheers to dense curtains. You choose the material and the look to suit your room, not the other way round.
At very large heights, the weight of the fabric matters: a heavy fabric calls for a solid wall fixing, while a light fabric works with simpler supports. The team guides you according to your project in the made-to-measure catalogue
How to order and measure your extra-long curtain.
Three steps: measure, choose, order. Measure the height from the fixing 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 top finish: eyelets for a large-pleat drape, pencil pleat for dense gathers, or a rod pocket. The fixings guide compares the systems by height and weight. For the shade, the color guide helps you match the curtain to your interior.
