If Pelmet are wider than the fabric width, the fabric will be wing joined with a centre panel, otherwise you need to specify if you would like you pelmet railroaded.

Bonded Pelmets provide a softer look over your blinds. The bonded pelmets are the next best thing to Padded Pelmets but more economical.
