Triple Pinch Pleat Valance

Our take on the Triple Pinch Pleat Valance

A fabric window valance from Puresilks with a triple pinch pleat header, which gives a tailored, gathered look across the top of the window. It is a decorative topper, so it covers the top of the window and the curtain hardware rather than the full glass. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms and living rooms where a formal, structured treatment is wanted. Compared with plain rod-pocket or tab-top valances, the pleated header reads dressier and holds a crisper shape.

Questions and answers

What is a triple pinch pleat valance?

It is a short window topper whose header is gathered into three pinch pleats per section. The pleats create deep, even folds that give a formal, tailored look.

Does it block light or give privacy?

It is a decorative valance, so it covers the top of the window and the rod rather than the glass. Expect little light blocking or privacy on its own; pair it with curtains or blinds.

How is it hung?

Pinch pleat headers hang from a rod using hooks or rings set into the pleats. It needs a rod with enough projection to clear the folds.

Can it go over existing curtains?

Yes. A valance is commonly layered above full-length curtains to hide the rod and add a finished top. Match or coordinate the fabric with the panels below.

What color is it?

It is beige, a neutral tone that sits easily with most wall and furniture colors.

Where is the Triple Pinch Pleat Valance cheapest?

At Walmart, for $8.00, as of our latest check.
