Sliding Door Window Treatment?
Question by tia r: Sliding Door Window Treatment?
Is there any contemporary window treatment for a sliding door. Currently we have blinds, but our kids constantly play outside and go in and out all day long. We have to always change out the blinds. Furthermore, I just think the blinds take away from the design, but I can’t think of anything that can be used other than blinds. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You can use curtains, just make the rod extends beyond the door far enough so that you can pull them back in the daytime for the kids.

Vertical Blinds
Vertical blinds are a good alternative to the usual curtains. It gives justice to a particular room with its elegance. It can be made out of vinyl fabric, aluminum, wood or faux wood, and fabric.
They are generally easy to work with, especially the light-weight ones. Their styles are contemporary yet they are priced affordably. They also provide adequate levels of privacy. It can be used even in kitchen areas and even bathroom area, even though these parts of the house are full of moisture. Plastic vertical blinds will work in those areas and we all know how it can stand dampness.
Solid wood vertical blinds will go well inside rooms that have wooden furniture. It complements the furnishings in a regal and classy way. Bedrooms and living rooms are the areas inside the house in which wooden vertical blinds will be perfect to put.
However, wood vertical blinds can be rather expensive. As a matter of fact, they are one of the most expensive types of blinds in the market. But if you’re really digging the classic vibe these wooden vertical blinds are giving off, you don’t have to weep. You can always have faux wood vertical blinds as an alternative. People choose them due to their durability and they cost much lower than the real deal. If you purchase from trusted suppliers, you can get ones that have quality that is up to par.
Fabric vertical blinds are also very stunning, but sometimes they can be costly. But just like wooden vertical blinds, the fabric type also has a cheaper counterpart which is PVC (polyvinyl chloride) vertical blinds. They look like the more expensive fabric blinds but at a less expensive price and they are very easy to maintain.
Vertical blinds come in different types, materials, and color, so you have endless options. Plus, caring for them only takes a jiffy. This can be done by vacuum-cleaning, dusting or wiping with cloth.

What do I need to do to treat a stick to turn it into a window treatment / curtain rod?
Question by KristenCO: What do I need to do to treat a stick to turn it into a window treatment / curtain rod?
I’m getting ready to cut down a couple of small pine trees on my lot (they are stealing water from my bigger trees), and I’d like to use the bigger branches as curtain rods in my house. What do I need to do to the stick before hanging it? Does it need to be treated, stained, sealed, or anything like that? Also, any advice for hanging it? THANKS!

Answer by parishaanta
Shellac is a great durable finish, though it will darken the wood and it is oil based so you would need solvents to clean your brushes and stuff. Polyurathane (a water based kind) would do the trick too, it is not quite as durable but would seal the wood once it was dried. It is not like curtain rods get tremendous wear and tear, so the poly protection would be fine ( and water clean up).
Though I think it would take a bit of time for the wood to dry out and there might be sap seepage if it was not dried out all the way. I am in Florida, so not too many pine trees here, but I recall sticky pine tree sticks in my Grandparents yard in Jersey.

What is a good window treatment solution to camouflage the space heater that is right under the window?
Question by **Cullen**: What is a good window treatment solution to camouflage the space heater that is right under the window?
…taking into account materials that are nonflammable and are suitable for this application that will not be a critical fire hazard.
Best answer:
Answer by seamstress
Please reconsider putting any sort of fabric in front of a space heater as it is a very unsafe. No fabric is nonflammable, it is just fire resistant, at best. Which means it burns slowly in the event of a fire, not that it will not catch fire in the first place.
Perhaps getting a decorative metal screen would be a wiser choice as metal is fire proof. Decorative cut metal sheets are available at your local home improvement store in several patterns. Cut a sheet to size, frame it and cover the heater.
I make drapery for residential and commercial applications. Fire codes prohibit covering space heaters with fabric. Please do not do that as you are sure to start a house fire.

What are some good kitchen window treatment ideas?
Question by Mina: What are some good kitchen window treatment ideas?
I want tips on how to get the most from windows since they are a long-term investment.

Answer by Lady in Florida
I am very fond of the 2 inch faux wood blinds. They can cut them to fit your window at no extra charge. What I like most about them is they are very easy to clean. I put them in the bathtub with some Oxyclean and hot water and even the draw cords are like new. They give you total control of the light. Then you can add a valance over the top to make them more decorative if you want.
In most kitchens the windows are treated with fairly frilly curtains. I used a tailored valance in my latest kitchen just to be a little bit different, and it has a gathered lining (custom made) http://jansseninteriors.blogspot.com/ (the very first photo)
The most important thing to keep in mind for kitchen curtains is that they get dirty, and should be machine washable if you want them to last. Most are not very expensive.
