Even with a small window treatment the difference between custom and ready made window coverings can be easily seen, as is evident in this inverted box pleat valance. Note how the fabric pattern is uninterrupted. Although there is an inverted pleat that falls six inches in on the sides of the valance, the pattern remains consistent and uninterrupted. Ready-made window coverings often lack this precise pattern alignment. The attention to detail in custom window treatments will give you a professional look you will be proud to hang on your windows.
