Abstract
The central elongated portion of a valance is mounted to an external surface, such as a headrail of a vertical blind assembly or a vertical wall, by a number of brackets, with the valance being attached to each bracket at a pivot point formed by a bracket tab extending into a first slot of the valance and at a latching point formed by one of a number of teeth of the bracket extending into a second slot of the valance. At each bracket, the valance can be straightened by adjusting a distance to the external surface and by adjusting a rotational angle of the bracket about the longitudinal axis of the central elongated portion of the valance.
