Frequently Asked Questions About Top Treatments
What are top treatments?
Top treatments include valances, cornices, and other decorative elements installed at the top of the window. They add a finished look, hide hardware, and can be used alone or layered with shades, blinds, or drapery.
What is the difference between a valance and a cornice?
A valance is a soft fabric treatment that hangs at the top of the window, while a cornice is a more structured, upholstered box that frames the top. Both can be customized with different shapes, fabrics, and trims to match your style.
Can top treatments be used with existing blinds or shades?
Yes. Top treatments are often installed above existing blinds or shades to hide the headrail and add color, pattern, or texture. They are a simple way to refresh a room without replacing all of your window coverings.
Do top treatments make a room feel taller?
When installed slightly above the window frame and extended wider than the opening, top treatments can create the illusion of taller windows and higher ceilings, making the room feel more spacious and elegant.
What styles of top treatments are available?
Express Blinds offers many styles, including tailored valances, shaped valances, box cornices, and layered designs. Fabrics, trims, and details can be customized to coordinate with your drapery, furniture, and overall design.
Can top treatments help with light control or are they just decorative?
Top treatments are primarily decorative, but they can help block light gaps at the top of other window coverings and soften the transition between the wall and window. For full light control, they are best used in combination with shades, blinds, or drapery.
