Bali Blinds | How to Measure Wood and Faux Wood Valances

A valance is a beautiful addition to your window treatment. In this video, we'll show you different mounting options as well as how to measure and order the right size valance for your window treatment. First, take a look at the measuring guide available on our website and make sure you have everything you need. If you're measuring a valance for a window treatment that's been flush mounted inside a window, the valance width is the measurement inside the top of the window. Measure twice and round to the nearest one 8. Since it's flush mounted, you don't need returns. If you're ordering a valance for an already installed outside mounted treatment or a partially recessed inside mounted treatment, measure the width of the window treatment and add 2 inches on each side. If you're ordering a valance with your wood or faux wood blind, we know the width so no measurement is necessary. We'll also know the right return length for your outside mounted treatment, but for a partially recessed inside mount treatment, measure the depth of the window and subtract it from the standard return length listed in the measuring guide. For example, if your window depth is 2 inches and you're ordering a 2 1/2 inch standard valance, find the product on the measuring guide as well as its tilt or control type. Find its standard return length and subtract your window depth. That's the special return length you'll specify when you place your order. What you'll get back for your partially recessed headrail is a standard valance face and a custom sized valance return that will be a perfect fit for your window. That's it, you're done. If you had any trouble following these steps or need to know how to mount and care for your new valance, visit our website.
