WHAT IS PROJECTION?

Misti St. Pierre on Jun 28th 2025

When creating a window treatment, interior designers and drapery workrooms must keep the projection of the treatment in mind. Projection is a term that describes how far your window treatment will extend from the wall. With a drapery rod, projection is determined from the wall to the center of the cup of the bracket. With our drapery medallion, its 2 piece construction allows for projection that can be determined from the wall to the back of the medallion. The average projection for a single layer window treatment is 3-5". However, projection can vary depending on the type of treatment you are striving to create. Here at Metropolis Iron, we can do projections of 5-7" to better accomodate your needs. Note that it may require additional fees.
