“Boss, how much space should I leave for the curtain box?”

😊 Many customers ask us during renovation:
“Boss, how much space should I leave for the curtain box?”
Actually, before building the curtain box, just answer these 3 simple questionsand you’ll already have a good idea of how much space you need. 👇
① What curtain style do you want?
👉 Korean Pleat?
👉 S Fold / Wave Fold?
✅ Korean Pleat — more space-saving
✅ S Fold — larger waves, needs more depth
✅ S Fold — gives a more elegant, hotel-style look
② Do you want one layer or two layers?
👉 One layer curtain
👉 Curtain + sheer
One layer is simpler and more economical.
With two layers, you can:
☀️ Close the sheer during the day
🌙 Close the blackout curtain at night
Better privacy + better light control.
③ Do you want motorized curtains?
For one layer:
👉 Manual
👉 Motorized
For two layers:
👉 One motorized + one manual
👉 Both motorized
⚡️ Motorized tracks need more space because you need to allow room for the motor and track system.
So the curtain box usually needs to be deeper.

📌 Easy way to remember:
✅ Korean Pleat = less space
✅ S Fold = more space for the waves
✅ Motorized track = extra space for the motor
✅ Two layers = deeper curtain box
If the curtain box is too small, you may end up with:
❌ Curtain rubbing or getting stuck
❌ Poor-looking folds
❌ S Fold waves getting compressed
❌ Not enough space for the motorized track
❌ No room to add a sheer curtain later
And of course, the final measurement also depends on:
✔️ Distance between wall and glass
✔️ Air-conditioning concealed trunking
✔️ Lighting design
✔️ Fabric thickness
✔️ Motor model
✔️ Whether Memory Fold / High Temperature Setting is used
So I always tell my customers:
**Curtains can be installed later.
But a curtain box is not so easy to enlarge later!** 😅
Before starting your renovation, talk to your curtain specialist first.
A few minutes of planning can save you from a lot of trouble — and extra renovation costs later. 😊

😊 很多顾客装修时都会问:
老板,窗帘盒到底要留多少?
其实,在做窗帘盒之前,先回答这三个问题,就知道要留多少位置了。👇
━━━━━━━━━━
第一个问题:
您要做什么款式?
👉 韩折?
👉 S Fold?
✅ 韩折比较省空间
✅ S Fold 波浪比较大,需要更多空间
✅ S Fold 的酒店感会比较强
━━━━━━━━━━
第二个问题:
您要做一层还是两层?
👉 一层布
👉 一层布+一层纱
一层窗帘比较简单、经济。
两层窗帘白天可以拉纱,
晚上再拉布,
隐私和遮光效果都会更好。
━━━━━━━━━━
第三个问题:
要做电动吗?
如果是一层:
👉 手拉
👉 电动
如果是两层:
👉 一层电动+一层手拉
👉 两层都电动
电动轨道会占用更多空间,
因此窗帘盒也必须预留更大尺寸。
━━━━━━━━━━
三个问题回答完后,
窗帘盒尺寸基本就出来了。
装修前先决定:
① 做什么款式?
② 做几层?
③ 要不要电动?
这样木工、石膏天花和窗帘师傅才能一次做到位。😊
这里帮大家整理成最简单、最实用的版本👇
配置 建议尺寸 最少尺寸
一层韩折(铝轨) 6~7寸 4寸
一层 S Fold 7~8寸 5寸
一层电动韩折 7~8寸 5寸
一层电动 S Fold 8~10寸 5寸
两层韩折 10~12寸 6寸
两层电动韩折 12~14寸 6寸
一层电动韩折+一层韩折(铝轨) 10~12寸 6寸
一层电动 S Fold+一层韩折(铝轨) 12~14寸 8寸
两层 S Fold 12~14寸 8寸
两层电动 S Fold 14~16寸 10寸
📌 简单记:
✅ 韩折比较省空间
✅ S Fold 需要更大的波浪空间
✅ 电动轨需要预留电机位置
✅ 两层窗帘需要更深的窗帘盒
如果窗帘盒留太小,很容易出现:
❌ 窗帘卡住
❌ 布浪不漂亮
❌ S Fold 被压扁
❌ 电动轨无法安装
❌ 以后想加纱没位置
当然,最终尺寸还需要考虑:
✔️ 墙壁和玻璃之间的距离
✔️ 是否有冷气暗槽
✔️ 是否有灯槽设计
✔️ 布料厚度
✔️ 电机型号
✔️ 是否做高温定型
所以我常常跟顾客说:
窗帘可以后做,窗帘盒不能后补。
装修前先问窗帘师傅,
永远比装修后才发现位置不够来得更省钱。😊
