GlossaryBox Pleated London Valance with Banding
Available widths: 42" to 74"
This beautiful London valance has too many luxurious custom features to mention. It features deep box pleats, which give it strength and volume. Another great feature is the 5-inch banding accent at the bottom. Valance arrives adjusted at a 24- to 27-inch length, depending on your chosen width. Because of its ring style composition, however, its length can easily be adjusted between 23 and 29 inches as needed while still maintaining its shape and generous volume. If you choose a fabric with large prints, they will be centered onto the center festoon.
Each valance is fully lined with quality drapery lining. Interlining is optional. The valance hangs flat on a curtain rod with a return up to 2.5 inches. It has a 3-inch rod pocket for easy installation. Widths that will work with this shape: 42 to 74 inches. Valance shown on left is 68 inches wide. This product is custom made to order in our Priority Windows USA workroom.
In order to maintain its shape with the proper festoon in the center, a width anywhere between 42 and 74 inches is available only.
Can you make this longer to cover my French door?
We don't recommend this particular valance any longer than what we offer. The longer it gets, the more it becomes a regular panel and less a valance. The gathered bottom hem is the focus of this valance and a long version of it would draw your eye down (not to mention that it would compromise the shape). Many people misunderstand London valances. They are not intended to cover a window entirely. They are commonly made to cover 1/4 or 1/2 of your window (or even 2/3 of some short windows).
What kinds of trims do you suggest? I'm afraid that I will pick the wrong kind.
Each product has already been configured to allow you to choose only trims that will work with it. Short trims are not offered on valances with deep, voluminous folds and similarly, big and bulky trims aren't an option when it comes to scalloped products with sharp edges and curves that need to be sewn with utmost attention to detail. Feel free to choose any trim that the product allows in its drop-down list. And remember, colors don't have to match exactly, but they need to go together.
The fabric that I'd like is not an option for this product.
More than likely, the fabric repeat or the way that the prints are centered on the fabric may compromise the shape or look of this valance. We have taken those fabrics off the list so that you get a product with perfectly centered prints.
