Drapery Calculator is a handy tool for all soft furnishing & curtain/drapery manufacturers and retailers to take the tedium out of calculating fabric amounts for curtains and drapery.

Use Drapery Calculator to quickly determine fabric quantities and number of drops needed to make a particular curtain, as well as to produce a simple quote with making charges and fabric prices for the curtain.  Drapery Calculator also includes a simple visual Cuts tool that shows you where to cut your fabric for each drop including allowances for hems and discarded fabric due to pattern matching.

Use the drag-sliders to easily see how changes to fullness, height or track size impact upon the fabric requirements for each job.  For instance, if you want to know how wide you can make your track without adding additional fabric, simply slide the ‘Track Size’ slider and watch as the number of drops and fabric meterage is updated in real time.  Of course you can always use the on-screen keyboard to specify accurate measurements for any value.

Drapery Calculator lets you to configure your own allowances for headings and hems, as well as provide sizes and prices for linings and fabrics, so you can be sure that the calculations provide accurate information relevant to your business.  Drapery Calculator uses industry standard calculations and operates in both Metric and Imperial measurements.
