VALANCE / SCALLOP

There are different styles of valances for all awnings and canopies. Calderon #1 and Caribbean #2 are the most popular styles but you can choose any style you wish. The valances can be 8", 10" or 12" long as required. The awning valance comes with a ¼" binding. There are various biding colours from which to choose.

The Awning valance is easily removable on retractable awnings by removing the end cap and pulling the fabric out.

There is no additional cost for awning valance.

Measure the Width of the Window/Door from the inside left to inside right. Add 6” on either side of the Vertical Drop Awning: so add an additional 12” to the inside awning width to obtain your finished awning width.

Measure the drop of the window from the mounting point to the centerline of the window. The projection is the same as the drop. This represents the measurement for surface installation. For Recess Installation, measure the inside width from left to right and the drop from the mounting point to the centerline of the window. The projection is the same as the drop.

Considerations

  • The maximum Height is 10’
  • The maximum width is 19’1”
  • Remember the fabric is narrower than the total width of the Awning
  • The width depends on the available space and the needs of the Customer
  • The surface(s) should be level and flat – check the type of surface to which the Vertical Drop Awning will be attached
  • If motorized, on what side do you want the motor depending on where the electrical source is located
  • When measuring please consider all down pipes, air condition pipes, light fixtures molding, etc. that may affect your installation.
