However, before hanging a valance curtain rod, it is important to ensure that there is enough space on each side and also above any existing coverings such as those of sheers, blinds or various other drapery panels on the window. However, it is also important that you place these valance rods on the outer part of any curtain hardware as valances are usually the top decoration on the window. Below mentioned are few installation tips.

•    Initially, it is required to measure the width of the hardware included with the rod. Remember that the hardware needs to protrude over all the existing hardware on the window by at least a measurement of two inches. This process allows hanging the valance easily and ensuring that it does not hinder other blinds or curtains from functioning properly.

•    Now it is required to measure two inches past the outermost existing curtain rod on the window. It is important to take this measurement on both sides and then mark the same with a pencil in order to indicate a 2 inch mark. This marked distance will ensure that other covering of the windows work properly. Now it is required to install the rod at the same height as that of the existing curtain rods.

•    To mark the points of the bracket, you need to place the level across the window aligned with the two marks that you made earlier using a pencil. Now it is required to line up the marks and make new ones to ensure that the brackets are installed in the same level.

•    It is now required to pre-drill the bracket holes using a cordless drill. This process guarantees that the screws fit in the dry wall easily and also in the right position.

•    Now hold the bracket up-to one of the pre-drilled holes and then insert a screw into the hole. By using the cordless screw driver, screw the bracket to the wall and then also repeat this process on other side of the window. Now use the level for just one last time in order to ensure that you have installed the brackets accurately and completely straight.

•    Once you are done with installation of the bracket, slide the decorative valance to the rod and attach the rod to the bracket. This process entirely depends upon the type and valance rod sizes purchased. Some of the rods will push onto the brackets whereas others might require the top of the rod hook onto the latch and then on the top of the bracket to snap them at right place.
