Homecraft Curtains Nottingham - Valanaces & Headings


Valances can be the finishing touch to curtains, blinds, or even an undressed window. Theres many types of valances available, which can be made to match a variety of styles.

Valances can be made to fit onto a headboard with velcro tape or hooks, or directly onto a track using hooks. Valances typically have a short drop normally depending on the drop of the curtains or personal taste.

Another option instead of a valance is a hard pelmet. These are foam padded boards covered in a chosen fabric, which can be straight (most common) or shaped.


Heading tape is what gathers the fabric at the top of curtains or valance . Heading tape, like Valances, can also varie in style. Pencil pleat is the most used form of heading, but we also offer Pinch & Goblet pleat, Box pleat, Tab Top, Cased, and Eyelet heading curtains and valances.
