The valance has a UPF 50+ rating, which blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays.
Is this valance suitable for heavy rain?

How do I attach this valance to my awning?
This valance is designed as a replacement and typically slides into a pre-existing channel on your awning's roller or support bar. Refer to your awning's manual for specific instructions.
Can I use this valance with awnings from other brands?
While the mounting style might be compatible, this 3.5m valance is specifically designed for Primrose Awnings. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed and should be verified.
What are the available colors and sizes?
This specific model is a 3.5m green valance. Similar straight valances are available in a choice of 3 colors and 7 sizes to fit different awnings.
How should I clean the valance?
Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Rinse well and allow to air dry completely before retracting.
What is the warranty period for this valance?
Please refer to the product packaging or retailer for specific warranty information, as warranty details are not provided in the product description.
Troubleshooting
Valance does not fit the channel
Confirm the valance size matches your awning (3.5m). Ensure the channel on your awning is clean and free of obstructions. Verify if your awning model supports a straight valance.
Water pooling on the valance
Ensure the valance is pulled out tautly. Slight angling of the main awning (if adjustable) can help direct water runoff. Check for any sagging in the valance fabric.
Fabric appears faded
Fading is a natural effect of prolonged UV exposure. While the UPF rating remains effective, the color intensity may reduce over time. Keep the awning retracted when not in use to minimize exposure.
Mildew or mold spots
Clean affected areas with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure the valance is completely dry before retracting and storing. Ensure adequate ventilation when the awning is deployed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This straight valance is designed as a replacement. Ensure your existing awning mechanism can accept a straight valance. Typically, this involves sliding the valance into a dedicated channel on the awning roller or support bar. Consult your awning's original manual if unsure.
Compatibility:
This 3.5m valance is specifically designed to fit a 3.5m Primrose Awnings awning. While the mounting system may be standard, it is recommended to verify compatibility with your specific awning model before purchase, especially if it is not a Primrose Awnings product.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently clean with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before retracting. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: For prolonged periods of non-use or during harsh weather (heavy rain, strong winds), it is advisable to retract the awning. Ensure the valance is completely dry before retracting to prevent mold and mildew.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the fabric for any signs of wear and tear. Ensure it is free from debris that could damage the fabric or mechanism.
