MeasuringDo skirting boards affect my width measurement for wall-to-wall curtains?
No. Skirting boards don't change the width for a wall-to-wall fit, since the track sits up high and the skirting is down at floor level. Measure the full wall width where the track will go.
Width is the distance the track runs, so it is measured at track height, not at the floor.
Note: A cornice can affect the drop and, if you top-fix up over it, the available width. It does not change a standard wall-to-wall width measurement taken below the cornice. For step-by-step measuring, see our curtains measuring guide.
