Rod Pocket Valances

rod pocket valance

Rod pocket valances can be customized to have a straight, tapered, shaped, or ballooned hem, on a simple rod or more decorative hardware. These styles are often used alone, or can be used as a top treatment over an under treatment like a shade, blind or draperies.

Calico offers these options:

Rod Pocket:

Rod pocket valances are simple, versatile and timeless, with endless variations to complement any décor.

Serpentine:

The soft curves of serpentine valances add a sculptural element to your room.

Finished length for rod pocket valances needs to include take-up for rod.
Silk fabrics should always be interlined.
If a decorative rod is used, treatment does not return to the wall; there will be slight gap between valance and wall allowing light to enter the room from the sides.
When using sheers and laces, valance is constructed at 3 times fullness.
Add at least 4″ to face width and 2″ to returns of any under-treatment, e.g. sheers, for proper clearance.
Rod recommended: Continental II or 1-3/8″ pole.
