Retractable Awnings - Valance Styles

There are 6 different valance styles for our retractable awnings. Tipo 2 and Tipo 6 are the most popular, but feel free to choose any Tipo you like. The valance on the Elegante, Ferrara, Grande and Mirage retractable awnings is 8 inches long and can be made a few inches longer if requested at no additional charge. The Sleek model does not have a valance as it is a cassette awning.

The awning valance will have solution dyed binding trim attached to the bottom of the valance which will accent the Tipo chosen. The binding trim is only about 1/4" wide on the front and back of the bottom of the awning valance. For color coordinating options see Trim Colors on the navigation menu.

If you choose a striped fabric or a fabric with designs on it, please note that the stripes or designs are not designed to align with the shape of the particular valance style chosen. In addition, when we sew our fabric valances and awning covers, we use a full piece of fabric in the middle and then sew from the middle to the outer edges. You ask why? We want our covers to look great, so we do this because that way on striped or patterned fabrics the stripe or pattern is the same on BOTH edges of the retractable awnings.

Also note, that the awning valance is easily removable from the front bar on all retractable awnings by simply removing the end cap and loosening a couple of screws. The awning valance should be removed prior to high winds - those greater than 35 mph.

There is no additional cost for the awning valance....
