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 approximately 25 3/8"  (645mm) wide to go around the circumference of the frame, which includes 5/8ths (15mm) allowance for the overlap/seam.
However, if you plan to create a fabric-covered seam, additional material should be added to the panel to accommodate the extra overlap required.
The panel height is determined by your chosen shade height

Lampshade Panel 
We supply a 25 3/8" wide panel in four different heights specifically for use with this frame. Please see the related items below.

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.
