This custom window treatment resembles a Roman shade very closely. Nevertheless, it is a stationary custom valance with folds that stack up on the bottom. The valance is board-mounted. The board is covered in your chosen face fabric. The valance features a ringlet system in the back and can be shortened manually to a height as little as 12 to 16 inches.
The valance is fully lined with our premium lining. If you choose a fabric with large prints, they will be centered onto each valance. Interlining and trims are optional. This product is custom made to order in our Priority Windows USA workroom.
Product-Specific Frequently Asked Questions
Can this valance be moved up and down?No, it is a stationary valance - it can only be adjusted manually, but it does not operate like blinds do. Fabric window treatments that can be pulled up and down are called shades. Click on 'shades' in the navigation menu above to see the mobile equivalent of this valance.
Can I put draperies under this valance?No. Draperies can be put
over this valance, but not underneath.
Will this valance work on a bay or bow window? Of course. You can mount it outside, with a small
allowance that barely covers the window trim, or you can mount it inside the actual window.
How would I install this valance on a palladium/arched window?This valance works best as an inside-mount for arched windows.
Can I install this valance over French doors?Yes, it's a very smart solution. Just make sure that the bottom of the valance stops at the top frame of the door.
What do I need to consider when mounting this valance inside the window frame?You will need to make sure that the board
projection does not exceed that depth of the window and you will need to measure accurately, window by window. Consult our guide to measuring for valances for more details.
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.
Why is the fabric that I like not available from the selection?Likely, it is inappropriate and would jeopardize the shape and look of the valance. You will not find such fabrics under options.
