Professional project guide
Planning Curtain Pocket Dimensions
There is no universal curtain-pocket size. Width and depth depend on the approved track arrangement, fabric volume, heading, motor body, distance from the glazing and maintenance access.Why it matters at project stage
An undersized pocket can compress fabric, expose the track or make a motor connection inaccessible; an oversized pocket can disturb ceiling proportions. Set it from a resolved system section.
Information required
Use the confirmed system, track count, fabric layers and fullness, motor and accessories, wall and glazing offsets, skirtings, service access and finished levels.
Reaching a project decision
Dimension the pocket from the approved product section rather than an assumed system. Position the centreline so the fabric can move without rubbing against glazing or adjacent finishes.
Coordination through delivery
The ceiling contractor confirms void and finish, the curtain specialist confirms system requirements, and the electrical team confirms motor connections before ceiling closure.
Project checklist
Points to resolve in the project
- Is the system confirmed?
- Is there space for every layer?
- Does the motor fit?
- Is fabric clear of the glazing?
- Is service access open?
