Yes, it's daft !! We also have to take them up ! The only way to get a proper fit was to get made to measure ....but that would have cost nearly £2k .... and there ain't NO way I'm paying that !!

Our lounge is the only one that is a problem .....drop wise is a problem cos of the beams ....and the fact we have them floor to ceiling and wAll to wall ..l

See, mine don't, sitting room are 70 drop (made to measure) any more and they'd cover the radiator, as they are partly (but a lot partly) doing now  

Dining room aren't standard either

Cos I close them at night   and yes, I know, I could still use tie backs but I'm guessing I won't be able to get the same material now

if mine were an inch or two out, I would lower or heighten the pole to accommodate, cheaper than having to pay for alterations

We can't cos of the beams ....and the fact that window is set back ...one is bay ....so not much room between the ceiling and lintel ....if that makes sense

Waders!
