What are valances on the blind used for?
Valances are used on the blind to cover the head rail at the top of the blind and are usually made up of the same material as the slats in the blind. They can be attached to the head rail using Velcro strips, plastic clips or magnets. If the blind protrudes out past the window opening and the ends of the head rail are exposed than a “return” piece is added to the ends of the valance at 90 degrees to cover this exposure. These returns can be attached to the valance using a high strength hot glue giving a rigid, clean joint or by using a plastic hinge allowing for easier shipping.
