The cuff top valance features a unique shape created by alternating cuffs and horns. This is especially evident when viewing the valance from the side. This window treatment is available in a variety of widths, from a narrow French door valance all the way to a 163" wide size for large windows that span an entire wall. For the cuffs, you can choose either a contrasting fabric or use the same fabric for the entire valance. Ring top or drapery medallion installation possible. For bay and bow windows, we recommend drapery medallion installation. Length of valance depends on trim options and ring top/drapery medallion hardware. Because of this variation, approximate jabot length is 25 to 31 inches. Please contact us if you will be ordering several valances in drastically different widths. That way, we will be able to ensure that the jabots on all valances are the same length. This product is custom made to order in our Priority Windows USA workroom. 3 © www.PriorityWindows.com.

Fabric Information: Fabric: Maynor in Cordoba 11146 Accent Fabric: Ophelia in Hemp 11766 Step-by-Step Ordering Guide To order the cuff top valance, you must use our design tool. Our design tool lets you choose from over 1,200 fabrics and other customizable options such as sizes, trims, linings and more. To start your design, click here. You will have to go through a series of steps to design your product. After you have chosen a custom component, you will need to keep clicking on “Move to Next Step” until you finally finish your custom design. If you are ready to purchase the product, you can click on the “I’m Finished – Review and Add to Cart” button. Step 1 – Fabric: Here, you get to select the fabric for the front of the valance. If you want to narrow down the fabric choices, you can check the desired fabric categories that you are looking for – for example, if you know you want a toile fabric, you can check the box next to “Toile” to narrow down your selection. Also remember 5 © www.PriorityWindows.com. May not be edited or distributed. that some fabric thumbnails have a small “CF” label on them. This means that the fabric is part of a color family. Color families are groupings of coordinating fabrics, trims and wall paint colors that you may use as an additional design aid. Step 2 – Accent Fabric: Select your accent fabric. The entire back of the valance will be lined in this chosen accent fabric. The accent fabric will show in the cuffs. Step 3 – Trim: You may also opt to add trim to your custom valance. This selection is optional; if you do not wish to add trim, you can simply skip this step without making any choices. Step 4 – Width: This valance can be made to fit windows 22 to 163 inches wide. Measure the width of your window, including the wooden frame, if any, and select a valance width that fits in that width range. DESIGNER TIP: If you will install draperies underneath this valance, we 6 © www.PriorityWindows.com.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR ARCHED AND PALLADIUM WINDOWS: Follow measuring instructions above. However, valance will only work as a curtain rod installation. The drapery medallion installation will not work on arched or palladium windows. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SLIDING GLASS DOORS (assuming 77 to 80” door height): Without trim, ensure that the distance from the top of the sliding glass door to the ceiling or crown molding is at least 27 inches. If you will be adding trim to the valance, ensure that the distance from the top of the sliding glass door to the ceiling or crown molding is at least 31 inches. Otherwise, follow measuring instructions above. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FRENCH DOORS: If the panes of your window are 22 to 26 inches wide, the French door version will work as an inside mount. You may install this valance onto a 7 © www.PriorityWindows.com. May not be edited or distributed. magnetic curtain rod if you are unable to drill into your French door. For steel doors, select the curtain rod installation, not the medallion installation. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR BAY AND BOW WINDOWS: STEP 1: Measure the following widths: the width of the wall(s) in the center (A). the width from the farthest point of each side window to the next wall towards the center (B, D). Add an allowance (C). STEP 2: Let's assume that we measured A at 48 inches, B+C at 36 inches and D+C at 36 inches. Next, we need to divide those numbers by the width of each cuff to make sure that the ties will be installed at the right places. Each cuff is about 7.75 to 9.00 inches wide. Let's see if we can figure out how many cuffs each section will have. 48 inches divided by 6 cuffs gives us 8-inch wide cuffs. To verify, 8 is between 7.75 and 9.00. 36 inches divided by 4 cuffs gives us 9-inch cuffs, another number that falls between 7.75 and 9.00 inches. This means that our side windows will have 4 cuffs each and our center window will have 6 cuffs. That's 14 cuffs total, so we need to order the cuff top valance with 14 cuffs. In step 6 of your custom design, make sure to select the drapery medallion installation, not the curtain rod installation. 8 © www.PriorityWindows.com. May not be edited or distributed. Step 5 – Lining: The valance is lined entirely in your chosen accent fabric. In addition, you may also select felt thermal interlining to go between the two layers of fabric, which will give the valance a better shape and make it fuller and heavier. We also recommend adding interlining if there is a large contrast in color or pattern between the two chosen fabrics. Step 6 – Installation: You may select either a curtain rod or drapery medallion installation. Make sure that you followed the measuring instructions above. Both curtain rod and drapery medallion installation will not work on all window types. 9 © www.PriorityWindows.com. May not be edited or distributed. Measuring and Installation Recommendation Measuring Instructions: This valance can be made for windows 22 to 163 inches wide. Follow measuring instructions found on pages 6 through 8. Installation Instructions: This valance can be installed using clip-on curtain rings onto a curtain rod, or it can be installed onto drapery medallions (or tiebacks) using ties. Hardware not included. 10 © www.PriorityWindows.com. May not be edited or distributed. Frequently Asked Questions My window width falls within two width options. Which one do I choose? Let's say that your window width is 76 inches. You can choose the valance version with eight or nine cuffs. If you want a rich valance with greater volume, opt for nine cuffs. If you are on a budget or want a more casual and less formal look, opt for the valance with eight cuffs. Also, if you choose to add draperies underneath, it is always a wise idea to get a valance that is slightly wider. Which installation version is better, the one with curtain rings or the one with medallions? Medallions add more custom detail to the valance. They are great if you want a more unique look or if your valance spans across windows that are at an angle to each other (i.e. bay window). Big medallions add richness to the look. Make sure to follow the measuring instructions above as both types of installation methods aren’t possible on all window types. 11 © www.PriorityWindows.com. May not be edited or distributed. Should I get thermal interlining? Interlining gives a valance more shape so it's always a wise choice. With the cuff top valance, it will especially point out the "curves" that the cuffs and horns create. If you want the valance to have more volume and a better shape, if you choose thinner face fabrics (i.e. faux silks) and a vivid accent fabric, then we recommend interlining. What kinds of trims do you suggest? I'm afraid that I will pick the wrong kind. Each product has already been configured to allow you to choose only trims that will work with it. Short trims are not offered on valances with deep, voluminous folds and similarly, big and bulky trims aren't an option when it comes to scalloped products with sharp edges and curves that need to be sewn with utmost attention to detail. Feel free to choose any trim that the product allows in its drop-down list. And remember, colors don't have to match exactly, but they need to go together. 12 © www.PriorityWindows.com. May not be edited or distributed. Why is the fabric that I like not available from the selection? Likely, it is inappropriate and would jeopardize the shape and look of the valance. You will not find such fabrics available as an option. 13 © www.PriorityWindows.com. May not be edited or distributed.
