7/24/2020

We are excited to introduce our NEW Inspired Box Valance top treatment, available in our roller shade collection!

See below for Box Valance ordering considerations.

Returns

The Inspired Box Valance can be ordered with or without returns, making it a suitable valance option for both inside and outside mount. Returns can be custom ordered in sizes up to 6".

When ordering with returns, allow at least 1 3/8" of extra width on the valance to accommodate for the thickness of the returns and hinges that hold the return to the valance.

Inside and Outside Mount Applications

When placing an order for inside mount valances, we recommend ordering without returns.

When placing an order for outside mount valances, we recommend ordering with returns. Keep in mind how you are mounting your specific valance. More width may need to be added to the valance to accommodate for covering window trim or multiple shades under one valance.

How to Order

The Inspired Box Valance can be ordered under "Inspired Shades Roller Shades Top Treatments" in your ordering system. Valances ordered to be shipped with a shade order will incur no freight surcharges.
