How use this Calculator
Use this calculator when pleating up a fabric panel to a finished curtain width. For a given number of pleats, the calculator will find the pleat sizes and Space sizes required to make the curtain.
How to Calculate your pleats
- Fold a sample pleat to find approximately what your ideal width of pleat and Space size is.
- Enter the following values in cms.
- Width of fabric panel to be pleated
- Finished curtain width
- *Leading Edge
- *Return
- Select a number of pleats
- Press Enter to calculate
- If necessary change the number of pleats and Recalculate until you find the best "Pleat size" and "Space size" for the curtain.
For more detail see our Pleat and Spacing Guide
*Note your Leading Edge or Return will be on the left or right side of the curtain depending if you are making a lefthand or righthand curtain. The diagram above is for a righthand curtain.
