Double French Return Rod

How to measure windows for double Drapery Rods: Measuring windows for double curtain rods is about the same as measuring them for single or standard curtain rods except that you need to be sure to check that the longer projection of the double rod mounting brackets won’t interfere with sills or shelves that may be installed around the window. Return rods are measured just like straight rods, the overall length on your wall. A 60″ return rod will measure exactly 60″ on your wall. Measure the window width, and add enough on each side so that the drapes will block the light around the sides of the window, and allow the drape to slide sufficiently off of the window when they are opened. This measurement is the drapery rod length. Make sure you have room beyond these measurements for the drapery to stack around the outside of the French return, a 3″ minimum clearance is recommended.
