Please verify the angles of your bay windows and share your measurements in the "Special Instructions" box. Bay windows typically have 45 degree or 90 degree bend. The 7/8" rods will have a radius bend and the 1 1/4" rods will have a mitered (sharp) corner.
7/8" rods over 72" and 1-1/4" rods over 94" long will require center support mounts. Bypass mounts and C-Rings are required if you need the curtain to draw past the support mounts. If you require a bypass mount, please let us know in the "Special Instructions" box.Enter the verified angles in the special instructions prior to processing your order so we can be certain your rods will be a perfect fit.
Please see the measurement guides for more information.Details & Dimensions
Choose the 7/8″ diameter or the 1-1/4″ for your corner rods. The 7/8″ rod comes with radius corner and the 1 1/4″ rod comes with a mitered corner.
Bay window rods come in three pieces. Rest assured, we can easily guarantee that any of our joined curtain rods will be as strong and functional as a one-piece curtain rod. When our rods are split for shipping, they and joined together internally with a center connector so there is never a bump for your curtains to hang up on.
Bypass Mounts and C-Curtain Rings are recommended for all rods with corner bends to allow your draperies to stack neatly into the corners of the window.
How to measure bay windows for Drapery Rods:
Measure the entire width of the back wall. We are not as concerned with the size of the window because the bay window rod follows the wall and we must have the actual wall measurements. Now measure the side walls, put the end of the measuring tape into the angle where the wall bends away from the back/center wall and measure past the side window to the point where you want the rod to end and the finial to begin. Do this same procedure for both side walls, and provide us with the three actual wall measurements, do not add or subtract anything, we will do the math for the rod projection.
Make sure you have room beyond these measurements for the drapery rod finials you have selected.
For Bay window curtain Rods with a French Return Leave enough room on the outside end of the return for your curtains to wrap around the rod, a 3″ minimum clearance is recommended.
How to measure the angle of my bay window
Most bay window angles are 135 degrees, (which is a 45 degree bend to a straight rod). There are many ways to measure or determine the angle. This page will allow you to measure the angle without any special tools or knowledge. If the angles in your project are other than 45 or 90, you will need custom bends.
To measure the angle, you are simply going to create a triangle using the walls as two 12″ sides and then provide the length of the third side of that triangle by following the easy steps below.
1. Measure 12″ from the back corner along the side wall and make a small (light) pencil mark on the wall.
2. Measure 12″ from the back corner along the back wall and make a small (light) pencil mark on the wall.
3. Measure the distance between your two pencil marks and enter that number
Please provide all three measurements for the left and right corners in the ” Custom Angle” box when placing your order.
