For the cuffs, you can choose either a contrasting fabric or use the same fabric for the entire valance. Ring top or drapery medallion installation possible. For bay and bow windows, we recommend drapery medallion installation. Length of valance depends on trim options and ring top/drapery medallion hardware. Because of this variation, approximate jabot length is 25 to 31 inches. This product is custom made to order in our Priority Windows USA workroom.
Product-Specific Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure my window for this valance? Measure your widest part of your window, including the window frame, if any. Scroll down to options and choose the window width that falls within the range that you measured.

"Need help measuring for a bay window or bay window?" My window width falls within two width options. Which one do I choose?Let's say that your window width is 76 inches. You can choose the valance version with eight or nine cuffs. If you want a rich valance with greater volume, opt for nine cuffs. If you are on a budget or want a more casual and less formal look, opt for the valance with eight cuffs.
Which installation version is better, the one with curtain rings or the one with medallions? Medallions add more custom detail to the valance. They are great if you want a more unique look or if your valance spans across windows that are at an angle to each other (i.e. bay window). Big medallions add richness to the look, but they can get expensive. Unless you have a bay or bow window, either installation version will work.
Should I get interlining? Interlining gives a valance more shape so it's always a wise choice. With the cuff top valance, it will especially point out the "curves" that the cuffs and horns create. If you want the valance to have more volume and a better shape, if you choose thinner face fabrics (i.e. faux silks) and a vivid accent fabric, then we recommend interlining.
The fabric (or trim) that I want to add is not available in the options. Why? If the name of the fabric (or trim) is not available under options, then it isn't appropriate for this specific valance. We have taken those items off the list to make sure that you don't design products that will look poorly on your window.
