Panel Size Guide

If you need to cut a lampshade panel to fit this frame, we provide a helpful size guide below.


To cover this frame, your panel should measure 1745mm wide.
The panel height is determined by your chosen shade height.

This width ensures the material fully wraps around the frame, creating a clean, professional finish.
It includes a 15 mm allowance for seam overlap, so no additional adjustment is needed unless you want to change the seam size.

Alternatively, you can use our free online Lampshade Template Creator to design a perfectly sized panel for this frame.
Simply generate your template, print it out, and use it as an accurate cutting pattern.

You’ll find the link to the Lampshade Template Creator at the bottom of this page.
