Use the charts and instructions on the following pages to determine the special valance return length needed, if necessary. Valance returns are available from /" to. Note: Returns and valances are measured and cut from the INSIDE of the miter () to ensure the most accurate fit when installed over the headrail or window frame. For example, a 3" valance with returns: 3" would be the CKSIDE/INSIDE measurement. The front side measurement would be greater than 3" (which is correct). Returns would also be measured and cut on the CKSIDE of the miter.

HOW TO MESURE FOR VLNCE RETURNS Window depths vary considerably depending on the age and style of the window. lways measure the window depth, regardless of the type of window treatment the client is considering. Knowing the depth when the order is placed can help prevent costly errors. Use the information in your Graber Pricing and Information Guide for Wood, Composite & Faux Wood to calculate the needed return length (chart above). To calculate the return length, use this formula: [Standard Return Length] minus [Client Window Depth] = Special Return Length to order for lind Remember: The smallest return width is ½". The length of a return and the width of a valance are measured on the inside (back side ) of the valance, not the outside (face ) of the valance (see diagram at right). : Inside Measurement : Outside Measurement 7/4

The placement of the splice will be calculated by the factory using an INSIDE measurement from the mitered corner to the location specified on the order. SECTION SECTION SECTION 3 3" 5" 8" Each splice location should be recorded starting from the LEFT CKSIDE corner.
