How to Measure
Welcome to UpCurtains, your trusted factory-direct partner for custom curtains and aluminium windows.
Follow this guide to measure your windows accurately for a perfect fit.
● Metal measuring tape (not fabric)
● Pen and paper or phone note
● Level or measuring app
● A helper — large windows are easier with two people
Measurement unit: All dimensions must be in millimetres (mm) for accuracy.
Inside Mount
● Installed inside the window frame for a clean, built-in look.
● Measure the width at the top, middle, and bottom — record the smallest result.
● Measure the height on the left, centre, and right — record the smallest result.
Outside Mount
● Mounted on the wall or outside the frame — ideal for full coverage and block-out.
● Add 50–100 mm on each side of the width, and 100 mm above + 50 mm below the opening height.
三、Australian Building & Safety Notes
All UpCurtains products comply with Australian standards and local building codes:
● AS2047 & AS1288: Windows and glazing must meet water, wind, and safety standards.
● Bushfire Zones (BAL Rating): Use BAL-40 or BAL-FZ compliant frames and glass in bushfire areas.
● Energy Efficiency: We recommend Low-E or IGU double glazing to meet the 7-Star NatHERS requirement.
● Child Safety: Openings below 1700 mm from the floor must include a window restrictor or lock.
