Pelmet
A pelmet is a framework placed above a window, used to conceal curtain fixtures. These can be used decoratively and also help insulate the window by preventing convection currents. It is similar in appearance to a valance, which performs the same function but is made of fabric. A pelmet can be made of plywood, and may be painted, or fabric covered. Exterior timber pelmets are a feature of some historic buildings, fitted on the outside of a window. These may be plain or decorative, with complicated fretwork in some examples. These may be purely decorative, or serve to conceal an external blind mechanism. Due to the appearance of a pelmet, the term is often used to describe an excessively short skirt.
