Made-to-measure glass curtains: the buyer's guide to dressing your windows with elegance

Looking for a more modern, structured alternative to net curtains to dress your windows without weighing down your décor? Made-to-measure glass curtains are the ideal solution. Fitted flat directly against the window, they decorate, soften the light and protect your privacy, all while bringing the charm of French artisanal craftsmanship.

Here is our complete guide to choosing the right one, from fabric to measurements.

Why choose a made-to-measure glass curtain?

The glass curtain has become a genuine alternative to classic net curtains. While a full curtain covers the entire window, the glass curtain fits the glass pane perfectly. It offers sober, clean and resolutely contemporary décor.

Its first asset is its understated elegance. Fitted flat, it frees up space, highlights your window frames and lets the room breathe. Depending on the fabric you choose, it plays on transparency: it filters light gently while shielding you from prying eyes.

What really makes the difference is the made-to-measure quality and the craftsmanship. Each curtain is made in our workshops in the Hauts-de-France region, to your exact height and width, sold individually and ready to hang. This 100% French production, passed down from generation to generation, ensures a refined finish and lasting quality that mass-produced items simply cannot match.

Choosing the right fabric: the heart of your curtain

The fabric determines the look and effect of your glass curtain. We offer three fabrics, each with its own character.

Étamine (voile)
A finished 100% polyester fabric, available in white. It offers a beautiful drape and a slightly diffusing effect: perfect for softening the light while keeping plenty of brightness. It's the choice of simplicity and clarity. Many embroidered models are made on this base, such as pastoral embroidery or ladder-stitch patterns.

Poly-linen
Made of 55% polyester and 45% linen, it appeals with its lovely texture and natural look. Available in ecru, natural, white or grey, it brings a cosy, warm touch to your interior. Sturdy and decorative, it suits plain models as well as finishes with braid or macramé.

Marquetry voile
The lightest fabric: both transparent and airy, it lets in plenty of light and gives the room a contemporary feel. Its 100% polyester composition makes it easy to care for. It's the ideal option for an airy, modern atmosphere.

The right instinct: choose the fabric according to the mood you want and the level of privacy you need. Étamine or poly-linen offer more presence and light diffusion, while marquetry voile favours transparency and light.

Finishes: personalise your curtain

The made-to-measure glass curtain comes with several finishes, to be chosen according to the model and the style of your interior.

At the top, two options:

• Slot heading (about 3.5 cm): a clean look, slides easily onto a rod.
• Macramé tabs (about 6 cm): a decorative, authentic touch, ideal for country or romantic settings.

At the bottom, two finishes:

• Straight: sober and timeless.
• Pointed: more original and graphic.

In both cases, the hem is designed to hold a weighting bar, ensuring a perfect, well-tensioned drape.

These finishes, combined with the decorative embroidery and braids (gingham, macramé, dotted Swiss, pastoral motifs), make each curtain a unique piece that matches your décor.

Taking the right measurements

A successful curtain starts with precise measurements. The good news: it's simple if you go about it methodically.

• Height: measure from the top of the rod to the desired point. This is the finished dimension that will be made.
• Width: it depends on the surface you want to cover. Base it on the width of the glass pane or that of the rod. Remember to allow for a handle or any other opening mechanism, so the curtain hangs freely without obstructing the window.

Our tip: always measure twice and note your dimensions carefully. Since each curtain is made to order, the accuracy of your measurements guarantees a flawless result.

Finding the style that suits you

Our collection caters to every taste, from the most classic to the most contemporary.

For a sober, bright interior, plain poly-linen models in ecru or étamine glass curtains in white with a pointed finish blend in discreetly anywhere.

Want some character? Embroidered models bring real personality: pastoral motifs, tone-on-tone cow or hen friezes, edelweiss for a mountain feel, or red or grey gingham braids for a chic country touch. Macramé lovers will also find medallions and decorative tabs that instantly warm up a room.

Harmony tip: use the same fabric or the same finish across several windows in a room: the overall effect will gain in consistency and refinement.

Hanging: simple and hassle-free

One of the great advantages of the glass curtain is how easy it is to put up. Delivered ready to hang, it slides onto a rod via its slot heading or hangs from its macramé tabs. No complex mechanism, no heavy drilling: in just a few minutes, your window is dressed.

The weighting bar inserted at the bottom ensures a clean, even drape, for a professional result with no effort.

Our verdict

The made-to-measure glass curtain brings together the best of window dressing: the elegance of a net curtain, the crispness of a flat fit and the charm of French artisanal craftsmanship. Personalised in fabric, finishes and dimensions, it adapts to every window and every style, from the most pared-back to the most rustic.

By taking care over the choice of fabric, finishes and measurements, you invest in a unique piece, made just for you in our workshops in the Hauts-de-France region.
