VALANCE STYLES

Valances are measured from inside or backside of Valance, end to end.
Valance Returns are mitered and attached with strong-hold furniture glue.
Valance returns are the side pieces that attach to both ends of a valance to allow it to wrap around the sides of a head rail.
Customers can choose to only have a return on one side (L or R) – no cost option.
Custom Returns – You can request custom returns for inside-mount wood blinds that cannot be flush mounted. This will give the blind a finished look.
