Curtain measurements ?

avoidtheupsidedownbottles

Wonder if anyone can advise pls.  
On Dunelm site they state a width figure for curtains.  
Is this the width for one curtain or both?  
Is it the width with the curtain(s) flat, so I should multiply by 1.5 or something?
This is for heavy blackout type curtains with eyelets to go directly on a pole.
Thanks for any guidance

It's for one curtain, width to width. Usually the site says how they do their measurements.
--Have a look on the Argos site as that says how to measure for what you want the curtain to fit.

If you are wanting blackout curtains, you don't want the ring type as the light will come through, it's ribbon top you want.
--I did floor to ceiling in my last flat.

It's for one curtain flat, so, if it's a pack of two, I normally make sure that the one curtain width would cover the whole window so that when they're closed you get a curtain that's still full enough.  I go wider if I can afford it!

I'd forgotten to return here to thank you for your replies.  You helped me avoid disaster and I got the right size

And I've twice joined 2 curtains to give a better effect in one case and to reduce light in a bedroom in the other.
