12″ Valance / Skirt Stiffener

Firm Support Strip for Upholstery Skirts, Valances & Pelmets

Our 12″ Valance / Skirt Stiffener is a durable upholstery stiffening material used to give structure, definition, and crisp lines to skirts, valances, and pelmets on upholstered furniture.

This professional-grade stiffener prevents fabric from sagging or folding, ensuring a smooth, tailored appearance around sofa and chair bases.
It’s also widely used in headboards, pelmets, and drapery work, where a firm, stable backing is needed to maintain shape and profile.

Available in multiple widths — 4″, 5″, 6½″, and 12″ — it’s versatile enough for both light and heavy applications, from domestic re-upholstery to commercial interiors.
