How to measure for a door curtain
There’s no need to worry about measuring for door curtains - it’s virtually the same as measuring for any other type of curtain. And, lucky for you, we can help with that.
There’s nothing worse than an excessively complicated measuring guide, which is why we’ve made sure that ours is super easy to follow. It’ll cover everything you need to know about measuring for curtains, and it’ll save you a ton of time.
You can check out our measuring guide on The Mill Shop website. We promise you’ll have that door curtain measured to perfection and up in no time!
Are door curtains efficient?
Absolutely! They’re a cost-effective way to regulate the temperature of your home - no matter the season. This is because door curtains reduce the airflow that travels into the home. This will help to keep your home insulated, whilst also trapping the heat - which is especially handy in the winter.
On the other end of the spectrum - in the warmer months, door curtains can also be a valuable addition to have. British homes aren’t equipped for the scorching heat - so no doubt you’ll want to open your doors to let some much-needed fresh air in. A pro tip - you can never go wrong with a beautiful lace door curtain in the summer months.
For example, if you have large patio doors that open up into your garden - the use of light and airy door curtains will allow you to soak in all of the fresh air you desire, whilst also preserving a sense of privacy.
There’s nothing worse than feeling as though you may have prying eyes into your home from either your nosy neighbours or passersby. So adding a door curtain to open (or closed) areas will help you to prevent just that.
