Molding & Trim

Valance

A decorative horizontal board or shaped panel installed beneath wall cabinets, typically above a sink window or between two wall cabinets over an open area. Valances add architectural detail, conceal under-cabinet lighting, and create visual continuity across gaps in the upper cabinet run. They are available in arched, scalloped, and straight profiles to match the kitchen's design style.
