Blackout Curtains in Nakuru: Measurements, Custom Orders and Courier Delivery

You can order blackout curtains for Nakuru from Curtains Kenya and receive them through your preferred courier service. The physical store is in Nairobi, while the Nakuru arrangement is courier delivery. Contact the team to discuss the fabric and order details before confirming the courier and destination.

For a custom curtain ordered remotely, clear measurements are especially important. This guide focuses on preparing a window record, agreeing the final specification and checking the parcel after delivery. Begin with the blackout curtain collection to identify designs you would like to discuss, then work through the measurement and ordering steps below.

Start with the room and the required coverage

Describe the room and explain why you want blackout curtains. Is light passing through the current fabric, entering around an exposed edge or reflecting on a screen? A description of the actual problem helps the team understand whether the material, the fit or both need attention.

Take one wide photograph of the opening with the curtains open and another with them closed. Include the rod or track, floor, sill and nearby furniture. Close-up photographs can be added for a handle or bracket, but they should not replace a view of the complete window.

Our light-gap guide helps distinguish uncovered edges from light passing through the material. The blackout and room-darkening comparison explains the fabric choice. Neither a city name nor a dark colour tells you how well a particular curtain will fit your opening.

Create a separate record for each window

Give every window a simple name, such as main bedroom left or living room door. Use that name on its photographs and measurements. When ordering several sets, avoid a single message containing unlabelled numbers that could be assigned to the wrong opening.

Write the unit beside each dimension and keep it consistent. Mark approximate figures as estimates. If someone else takes the measurements, ask them to use the same window names so the person approving the order can follow the record without guessing.

A practical record includes the room name, window opening dimensions, existing hardware details, intended hem level and a short note about obstructions. This creates a useful basis for discussion with Curtains Kenya. It does not mean that every initial measurement is automatically a final cutting dimension; the complete making specification still needs confirmation.

Measure the opening and hardware separately

The width of the glass, the overall window opening and the usable rod or track length may all differ. Record them separately rather than using the word width for all three. If there is no hardware yet, say so and describe the proposed arrangement.

The usable hardware width should reflect where the curtain can actually travel. A support, end stop or joint may affect movement. Photograph those features if you are unsure how they influence the intended curtain layout.

Use the blackout curtain measuring guide for the basic checks. If the curtain is to cover a sliding door, also read the wide-window and sliding-door guide. Final curtain width depends on the approved coverage, heading and fullness rather than the glass width alone.

Agree the hanging reference point for the drop

A curtain drop needs a clear start and finish. The top reference point depends on the heading and hardware, while the lower point depends on the chosen hem position. A measurement taken from the ceiling is not interchangeable with one taken from a hook or rod.

If you are unsure which reference point to use, send a photograph and ask before finalising the number. Measure at more than one position where the floor or opening may be uneven. State whether the curtain should finish above the floor, at the sill or at another agreed level.

Do not add making allowances yourself unless that is specifically part of the agreed measurement method. Keep the measured opening and the approved finished dimensions distinct. That makes it easier to identify a misunderstanding before the fabric is cut rather than after the parcel reaches Nakuru.

Choose the heading before approving dimensions

Eyelets, pleats and other headings connect to their hardware differently. They also create different folds and can change how much space the curtain occupies when open. Choose the intended heading early so it can be reflected in the final specification.

If you are retaining a rod or track, confirm that the proposed heading is compatible. A photograph of the current hooks or rings can be useful, but the condition and load suitability of the complete fitting also matter.

Our heading comparison and rails and rods guide explain the choices. Courier delivery of the curtain does not assess the supporting surface at your property, so make sure the fitting responsibility is clear before ordering.

Check what is hidden outside the photograph

A straight-on image can miss a projecting handle, a deep sill or furniture that pushes the curtain outward. Add a side view where those features matter. Show doors in their open position if they could meet the curtain or its gathered folds.

For a bay or corner window, send a labelled sketch showing each section as well as photographs. Do not reduce an angled opening to one overall width and assume the shape can be reconstructed from it. Our bay and corner window guide explains the additional planning.

If the layout is still changing, tell the team. Moving a track or replacing furniture after the curtain has been specified may change the required clearance or drop. Resolve those decisions before treating the order as ready for manufacture.

Select the exact fabric and colour remotely

Ask for a clear product or fabric reference for the option you choose. Keep the reference with the quotation so a later message about a similar-looking design does not accidentally change the order. Confirm whether the fabric itself provides blackout properties or whether a separate lining is proposed.

Colours on a phone or computer can look different from the material in the room. Ask what information or sample-viewing options are available for your order instead of assuming a photograph is a perfect colour match. Any sample arrangement should be confirmed with the team.

The light-coloured blackout guide explains why cream or pale grey can still be considered. If you already own a decorative curtain, the lining guide helps you assess whether alteration is worth discussing.

Compare ready-made sizes with your record

If considering a ready-made option, check its actual finished dimensions and the supplied panel quantity. Confirm whether the listed width is for one panel or a set. A product can look right in a photograph while being too short or too narrow for the intended fitting.

Include any required shortening, extra panels, hooks or other accessories in the comparison. The ready-made blackout price guide provides context, but the current product details and price should be confirmed before ordering.

For custom curtains, use the custom buying guide to agree the width, drop, heading and lining. Fabric and length affect the cost, and the complete quote should identify all included items. A ready-made example is not a fixed price for a made-to-measure window.

Request a quote that separates curtains and delivery

Ask the team to state the curtain specification and cost clearly before adding the courier arrangement. Identify the fabric, colour, panel count, finished dimensions, heading, lining and any accessories. If hardware is also supplied, it should be listed so you know what the parcel is intended to contain.

Then confirm the chosen courier, destination and delivery charge. A curtain price should not be assumed to include courier fees unless that has been agreed. Likewise, dispatch timing and the courier’s expected arrival timing are separate parts of the order.

Do not rely on a generic promised number of days. Ask for the estimate applicable to your fabric, making requirements and courier. This guide does not publish an unconfirmed Nakuru delivery fee or turnaround time.

Confirm the courier and recipient details

Tell Curtains Kenya which courier you prefer and check the destination details before dispatch. If collection will be from a branch, identify the branch clearly. If the arrangement is delivery to an address, confirm that this is the service being arranged rather than assuming it follows from the city name.

Use the recipient’s correct name and contact details, and ensure the person expecting the parcel knows about the order. If someone else will collect or receive it, ask the courier what requirements apply to that handover.

Request the relevant dispatch or consignment details once available and keep them with the order record. Do not publish private recipient information in a review or public message. Use the contact channels agreed for the order when discussing parcel-specific details.

Plan fitting at the destination

Courier delivery gets the ordered items to the agreed destination; it should not be treated as confirmation of an on-site measuring or installation visit in Nakuru. Decide who will check the existing hardware and hang the curtains, and make any separate arrangements needed.

Before dispatch, confirm which hooks, rings or other accessories are included and which are already at the property. A small missing component can delay hanging even when the fabric and dimensions are correct.

If the property is rented, agree any changes to fixing points beforehand. Our rental-home curtain guide explains that planning step. Keep the approved dimensions available for whoever carries out the fitting so the intended hem level and panel arrangement are understood.

Check the parcel and the fitted result

When the order arrives, compare the supplied items with the order record. Check fabric reference where identified, colour, panel count, accessories and the window labels. Keep the packaging and delivery information while you review the contents.

If something appears different from what was agreed, photograph the item and contact Curtains Kenya promptly for guidance. Ask about the applicable process before cutting, washing or altering a curtain. This guide does not replace the terms agreed for your order.

After hanging, check that the panels move freely, meet as intended and finish at the agreed level. Inspect light gaps from the normal position in the room. If a problem appears, describe where it occurs and provide the original measurements as well as a photograph of the fitted curtain.

Prepare for cleaning and future reordering

Ask for the care instructions for the complete curtain, including its lining. Keep them with the fabric reference and finished dimensions. Our blackout care guide explains why washing, drying and steaming should follow the exact material’s instructions.

If you later order for another room, measure that opening separately even if it looks similar. Fabric availability and colour batches should also be reconfirmed rather than assuming that a previous purchase guarantees an identical future supply.

For two-layer arrangements, keep the sheer and blackout specifications distinct. The layering guide helps you record the separate roles and measurements. A clear order record is useful both for maintenance and for discussing additional curtains later.

Use a final measurement cross-check

Before approving a custom order, compare the written dimensions with the original window record one more time. Check that the left and right panels have not been confused with two separate windows, and that a measurement for the rod has not been entered as the finished width of each panel.

Read the units aloud when reviewing the order with another person. Confirm the top reference point and intended hem level on the photograph. If a new rod or track has been fitted since the first measurements were sent, tell the team and review the affected dimensions.

This check is especially useful when the purchaser and the person measuring are in different places. It gives everyone the same approved record and helps separate an estimate from a final instruction.

Send a complete Nakuru enquiry

Include your city, the number of windows, room photographs, labelled measurements and the fabric options you prefer. State which information is approximate and whether the hardware is existing or still to be selected. Add your preferred courier when discussing delivery.

Before approval, review one consolidated specification rather than relying on scattered messages. Check the dimensions, panel count, colour, lining, accessories, curtain cost and agreed courier details together. This is the point to resolve any conflicting measurements.
