Tips:
- Measure the width of the area you would like to cover. This is your ordering width - fullness is already accounted for (approx. 1.8x fullness). If your drapery needs to open and close, the total width coverage will equal the same span left to right that your hardware will be.
- We recommend whenever possible to extend out from the edges of your windows or doors as much as 6"-12" on each side. This will help make the area look larger, and will also help maintain as much natural light as possible when the drapery is open.
- If ordering drapery that does not need to close (stationary panels), you can consider ordering a drapery with less coverage while still getting a finished, professional look. Contact our experts for advice: design@theshadestore.com or call 800.754.1455.
- Measure the desired length of your drapery. Keep in mind the hardware type you will be using and where it will be mounted (see hardware deduction chart). The finished length you supply us with is the exact measurement the drapery fabric will be made to.
- When finalizing ripple fold drapery, please remember to deduct 1 1/4" from the top of the track as the fabric starts just below the hardware.
Tips:
- Choose a finished length that is long enough so that the drapery may be installed as high above the window / door as you are comfortable with. This will give you a more dramatic finished look and help enhance your ceiling height.
- Consider a small "puddle" on your drapery. Our decades of experience have taught us that a small "puddle" or "break" of anywhere from 1"-6" often enhances the finished look. It's also a great way to disguise uneven floors. Simply add the desired puddle amount into your finished measurement.
- For drapery that will be opened and closed frequently, we recommend ordering a length that will keep the drapery approximately 1/2" off the floor.
- Please bear in mind that we use some of the finest materials available to create your custom draperies. As with all fabrics made of natural fibers, there may be slight changes due to a number of variables including but not limited to: humidity, temperature and moisture. This is to be considered normal. If this is a concern, consider ordering a length that includes a small puddle.

LININGS
"Lining" refers to a fabric that is sewn to the back of the drapery to protect it from the sun, improve insulation, and add body. Lining(s) also provide privacy by reducing the amount of light that travels through the drapery. All linings are an off-white color.
UNLINED:
- No lining added to your drapery
- Preserves the natural sheerness of the material
- Not recommended when using silk fabric that will be exposed to direct sunlight
- No Charge
PRIVACY LINING:
- Offers privacy and provides greater light control
- Protects fabric and improves insulation
- Adds additional body
- surcharge applies
BLACKOUT LINING:
- Blocks 99% of light for complete privacy and great insulation
- Great for bedrooms, media rooms or whenever complete privacy desired
- surcharge applies
PRIVACY LINING + INTERLINING:
- Cotton flannel lining hangs between the material you selected and the privacy lining
- Gives drapery extra body and a better hang
- Offers privacy and maximum insulation
- surcharge applies
All Ripplefold draperies automatically come with white track hardware to mount the draperies on (tracks can be painted).
You can mount your track either to the wall, or on the ceiling. If you are interested in a double wall mount system to accommodate inner and outer layers, please contact customer service.

Open and close your draperies with either a traverse cord draw or an easy to use hand drawn baton. Consider a control length that
will be convenient to reach when operating the draperies.
CORD
- Open and close panels by pulling on a cord
- Comes with pulley which can be secured to wall
- Choice of left or right position
BATON
- Open and close panels by using hand drawn baton
Note: Baton will hang on the leading edge of the draperies. For split draw, if baton control selected,
two batons will be located in the center, operating each side independently.
