So, we know what an awning is; it’s a shade structure you can attach to a building, home, or business. But did you know awnings can be designed with valance options?
| Before we go any further, let’s first define what a valance is. A valance is a decorative piece of fabric that is hung from an awning, a canopy, patio cover, or other shade structure. The valance adds a creative flare or aesthetic to your awning/shade structure. Now that we know what a valance is, let’s talk about the options you have. Often times we forget that we can create a valance that is different in color or shape than the awning or shade structure. In fact, you can install a valance with stripes and other color variations to give your home a little more pop and pizzazz. |  Awning with a Scalloped Valance |
