SCAL E | ME AS U R I NG
Scale is the relative size of one object to another. ADR drapery rods and related individual components (finials, brackets, and rings) are identified by the Scale of the particular component (1 in., 2 in., 3 in.). This establishes how the various hardware items relate to one another in form, proportion, and function. Be sure to always pay close attention to the dimensions presented for each item. The photos can be deceiving and make some of the 2 in. and 3 in. Scale items appear smaller than the amount of space they actually occupy.

1. Precise measurements are key. Use a steel tape measure and measure to the nearest 1/8". 2. Measure each window individually. Do not assume windows that appear to be the same size are the same size. 3. W hen determining the exact length of the drapery rod be sure to consider the extra space added by the extension of the finials from the end of the rod. 4. W hen determining the exact length of a radius rod, be sure to include the extra length added by the radius at each end of the rod, e.g., a radius rod covering an 80-inch span that has a 3-inch radius is ordered as an 86-inch rod. The radius is the top measurement in the return diagrams on pg. 22. 5. Drapery rod brackets should be installed at least every 4 to 6 feet (depending on the weight of the drapes) and under each point at which rods are joined with a connector. 6. D rapery rings add extra inches to the measurement. This needs to be considered when deciding the height at which the drapery rod is to be installed.
