EURO PLEAT drapes are double fullness. We take a 54 wide length of silk and once sewn and pleated, results in a 24 wide panel. By joining two 24 panels we create a 48 wide panel. If a 60 wide panel is required, for example, we join to two and a half widths of open fabric resulting in a 60 wide panel.To calculate how many widths you need, divide the width of the window opening by 2. For example an 84 wide opening, halved will be 42.y joining two 24 panels we create a 48 wide panel.
