What do I do with my sliding glass doors if I don't care for vertical blinds? Are there other options? Answer.- I have a half circle above my doorway. I don't know what to do with it but know I need to cover it. The sun comes in and the light is sometimes very intense as our front door faces west. Answer.
- What should I use for my French doors? My door handles seem to get in the way of door blinds. Answer.
- I'm looking for a unique window treatment for my bay windows in the front of my house and I don't want a Vertical Blind and I don't like mini blinds. Can I use something else that has vanes and isn't just a honeycomb type shade that obscures my view? Answer.
- I have narrow, 12" wide windows on either side of my front door and would like a window covering that maintains my view but also provides privacy (especially at night). What would you recommend? Answer.
- I really don't know what to use on my skylights. Do you have anything that can be operated with a remote control (my windows are very high)? Answer.
- If I'm willing to consider all types of window treatments, which ones will work best on my sliding glass doors? Answer.
- I bought drapery panels for my sliding glass door and now I dislike them. They get in the way of opening the door, and when I do they float outside and get dirty. Is there a better option? Answer.
