Window Curtain Valance
I am trying to hang curtains and valances on the same window. What did I do wrong?
I have a Metal Curtain Rod wtih finials on each end that I purchased from JC Penney. I decided I wanted valances so I went to Wal-Mart and purchased one of those white Heavy Duty Curtain rods with the bent ends. I was going to hang the valances on the metal curtain rod and the curtains on the white heavy duty curtain rod. When we got the mounts on the wall for the white heavy duty curtain rod, and placed the curtains (four total) on the rod and tried to hang it, it bent the rod in the middle.
What did I do wrong? Should I have tried to hang the valances on that white heavy duty rod instead? I am so confused.
Depending on the width of your window and the weight of the curtains you need a center support. Because the white rods are in two parts and are of pretty thin metal they tend to sag in the middle. Get a support for the center. They sell them in the aisle with the curtain rods. For the white rods they have one end which screws into the wall and another that looks kind of like a hook that the rod sits in. In a pinch I've used a long nail. If your curtains are heavy put a support in between each curtain to make it stronger.
A cafe rod support will have two flat pieces coming out from the wall converging at a semi-circular slot for the rod, just so you know the difference.
You don't want to hang the valances on the white rod because you want the finials to show so they have to be on the outside.
