Product-Specific Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have calculated the desired width correctly?First, measure your window. Don't forget to include the window frame,
allowance, and
return if desired. Once you know how wide the area to cover is, multiply this number by 2 to 2.5. This is the ungathered width that you should choose in the options.
Can I install this valance over draperies?Yes, but you have to make sure that the valance projects 5 or more inches away from the wall. Make sure that you have the appropriate hardware that will accommodate the proper
projection.
Can this valance be made with trim?We're sorry, but this valance is only available with an accent band.
What kind of curtain rod do I need for this valance?It depends on whether you choose a valance with or without a
return. Valances without a
return will work with a decorative pole up to 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Valances with a
return require a 2 1/2-inch wide
continental rod.
The fabric that I'd like is not an option for this product. Each of our products only allows you to choose from fabrics that are appropriate for it. Fabrics that compromise the look or shape of this product are not part of the fabric selection.
How do I install this valance so that it clears a French door or sliding door? Install it higher up towards the ceiling so that it ends at the top frame of the door.
