Q&A: Any ideas for window treatments in screened-in patio?
Question by okeydokey: Any ideas for window treatments in screened-in patio?
We completely screened in our back patio. There are 12 screen window sections top and bottom. Each pane measures 28″ x 36″. There is also a screen door added. Right now I have lace door panels on 2 of the top window sections using spring tension rods. The screen door also has a lace door panel. The other windows were completely covered on the exterior with 7ft outdoor rollup blinds. We want a little privacy and the lace curtains do OK. It gets a little dusty so we’d like to keep dust minimal from coming in. The rollup blinds are a pain and can only be worked from the outside plus they don’t hold up very well. There’s a roof overhang so very little rain comes in. Any decorating ideas for these windows?? Prefer a more contemporary look. Thanks so much in advance.
I forgot to mention that we did the floor in light earth tone linoleum. The wood was painted in a dark brown and ceiling is off white and the back wall is beige. I live in Hawaii so it can stay up all year round. Cost is no object. Love the creative & interesting ideas!

How about shower curtains made of vinyl or water resistant fabric? They are pre-made for very reasonable cost and would work fine outdoors because they are meant to get wet. I would try shopping somewhere like Ross or a similar place…totally clearance rack!
The other thing I can think is some particularly heavy weight tulle or mosquito netting type material, you can buy huge volumes of it for little money, like a dollar or less per yard. If you scrunch it together it offers you the privacy you want, but still allows for light. You can get a soft color like a buttery yellow or a soft blue to bathe you in a sunshine or watery feeling color, or use white or cream.

How to hang window blinds on a wall made out of brick or other type of window treatment that would work?
Question by jrunaas: How to hang window blinds on a wall made out of brick or other type of window treatment that would work?
We live in San Diego and the room in question gets a lot of morning sun. The room was a patio that someone enclosed with the far wall being all brick (fireplace). Where normally you would have drywall to screw in the brackets for blinds, you have a metal plate at the top of the window which the brick sits on. The rest of the house has wood blinds, but I’m up for anything – I just don’t know how to secure it. Any suggestions? Thanks

Answer by Jason H
If allowable in your home, might try Liquid Nail. Can buy easily at Home Depot or Lowe’s, Its very strong, but you may have to hold the piece for a few minutes to let it set.
Without drilling into your brick this is the only option I can think of.
You could also try putting in a “roman shade” I believe they call it? These are available almost everywhere including Wal-Mart. It may not look like something you’d like but it would provide shade for you.
Best of luck!

I am renovating my home. Please suggest me eco-friendly window treatments.
Question by Joan Mccoy: I am renovating my home. Please suggest me eco-friendly window treatments.
Best answer:
Answer by James Hite
Roll-up Blinds are back with new eco-friendly textures and colors. These stylish blinds have fibers such as paper, bamboo and jute. These blinds also have a percentage of polyester so they will hold their shape, color and have longer life.
And, they have a natural luster that will shimmer and bring real warmth to your home for years to come. Plus, creating blinds with these fibers help the environment, because the plants are annually renewable and biodegradable.
Roman Shades are many times a complete solution and can be custom or ready-made. Since they are made of soft materials, and allow for light to come in or be blocked – they afford practicality, function and design.

what comes first in window measurement – width or height?
Question by shally: what comes first in window measurement – width or height?
I want to buy window treatments online. Target shows the dimensions of window treatments as 60×80″. Is 60 the height & 80 the width or vice-versa?
Best answer:
Answer by Akasha
Width is first, then height, then depth if it goes that far…for window treatments you might not need the depth measurement, but it tells you the thickness, such as how far it sticks out from the wall.
