FAQs

How do I install the dropdown front valance?

You simply slide out your existing standard valance from the awning track and slide the new dropdown front valance into the same track. It's designed for easy integration.

Can this valance be used with any awning?

It is designed to slide into existing awning tracks. While it's made by Primrose Awnings, it may fit other awning systems with compatible track dimensions. We recommend checking measurements for compatibility.

How do I adjust the shade level?

The valance is divided into independent sections. You can choose to drop down only the sections you need for shade, or drop them all down for maximum coverage. The remaining sections can be rolled up neatly using the Velcro fasteners.

What is the benefit of the segmented fabric?

The segmented fabric allows for independent control of shade. You can customize how much sun or privacy you want without needing to deploy the entire valance, making it more versatile and easier to manage.

How do I clean the valance fabric?

Gently wipe the fabric with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the fabric.

Can I roll up the valance when not in use?

Yes, the valance features integrated Velcro fasteners that allow you to roll it up neatly and securely when you want to let in full sunlight or store it away.

What is the color of the valance?

The valance is brown, designed to offer a stylish and practical shade solution.

Troubleshooting

Valance is difficult to slide into the track

Ensure the track is clean and free of debris. Slightly angle the valance when inserting and try to guide it smoothly.

Velcro fasteners not holding securely

Check if the Velcro surfaces are clean and free from lint or dust. You can try cleaning them gently with a soft brush or a lint roller. If they are worn, consider replacing them.

Fabric seems creased after unrolling

Allow the fabric to hang in the sun for a short period; natural sunlight often helps smooth out minor creases. You can also try gently running a soft cloth over the fabric.

Uneven dropping of sections

Check that each section is properly aligned and that there are no obstructions preventing smooth movement. Ensure the entire valance is evenly tensioned within the track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation is straightforward. Simply slide the existing standard valance out of your awning's track and slide the new dropdown front valance into place. Ensure it is fully inserted into the track for stability.

Compatibility: This dropdown valance is designed to slide into standard awning tracks. It is recommended to measure your existing valance or awning track to ensure a proper fit before purchasing, especially if retrofitting to a non-Primrose Awnings brand.

Care: To clean, gently wipe the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For storage when not in use, roll the valance up neatly using the integrated Velcro fasteners and secure it to prevent tangling. Ensure the fabric is dry before rolling it up to prevent mildew.
