Window treatments (sliding panels) how to order?
Question by Sam A: Window treatments (sliding panels) how to order?
If I order vertical sliding fabric panels, will they determine the width of the panels and the number of panels? The site(s) only ask for the height and width of the window.
Thanks!

They will ship you the measurements of the panels that will fit the dimensions you send.

Q&A: Sliding glass door window treatments…please help?
Question by Amy D: Sliding glass door window treatments…please help?
We are building a new home, we are now doing the window treatments. We have hardwood floors and a very light neutral color on the wall. We went to the store to order our window treatments and she suggested we get the closest color to the WALL color for our sliding glass door treatment that is located in the kitchen. And to also use the same color for the window above the kitchen sink. Oh these are vertical blinds for the sliding glass door.
We just need some ideas or better yet if this is the best way to do this? Thanks!!

It sounds like that person has no imagination or no interior design ideas. For my slider I put antiqued cream wide slat venetian blinds with brown fabric ribbon/tape which runs vertically. I got them at Home Depot and there is a wide selection of colors for these tapes and you can coordinate it to go with anything in that room. They look great and I am having a padded cornice made for the top in the fabric of my choice. I wanted privacy in my kitchen/dining room, but I also wanted the sun. These blinds are just the trick. The only down side is that if you use that slider door a lot you do have to raise the blinds each time or keep it raised for a period of time. It works for me and you don’t see my dog’s nose marks with the blinds in place. Vertical blinds are sort of passe now. At least that’s what I have been told. The padded cornice will match the kitchen window or be a coordinate fabric.

Q&A: I am having a hard time finding some window treatments?
Question by LuvLife: I am having a hard time finding some window treatments?
I am looking for WHITE (not antiqued, or ivory) curtain rods for panel curtains. I need a 4 Ft and a 8Ft. I am having so much trouble, if you can please point me in the right direction. Looking for something that won’t break the bank!
Also any ideas for a window in a bathroom. I was thinking of a roman shade, can you use blinds with these or no

Answer by XinaMarie
I had the same problem finding rods and ended up making my own. I needed something sturdy to hold the weight and looks like you are in the same situation. At 8′ you can buy a rod at the local home improvement center and cut it to size then paint it. The finials can be attached at the ends, also purchased there. Then arms can be purchased and painted to hold the rods. Total cost is about $ 20
Windows in a bathroom can be a pain. Buy a privacy film and install it on the glass that way you can keep the light during the day….at night, a roller blind can be pulled down so as not to give the neighbors a shadow show.

Q&A: Do you, as a landlord, provide window treatments (curtains) for your tenants?
Question by Starlight: Do you, as a landlord, provide window treatments (curtains) for your tenants?
And, if so, about how much do you spend per curtain/set of 2 curtains. Do you get really nice ones or economical ones at places like Target or Walmart?
Best answer:
Answer by garrisonbight
NO… it’s an optional thing and most renters won’t take care of the window coverings anyway… how many rental houses have you seen with venitian blinds that have had the slats all bent and broken… you never see that in owner occupied homes… just rental units.
They can buy their own window coverings or go without… and most of that trash uses aluminum foil to cover their windows anyway.

click on living and storage, then textiles, then curtains and blinds, they are called fringe curtains!
I have attached a rod to mine with no problems!
These look much nicer than the picture, but thought it might give you an idea!

Looking for window treatments that block out all light.?
Question by che che: Looking for window treatments that block out all light.?
My daughter suffers with Migraines and needs complete darkness.
We have tried dark colored mini blind and window shades but even a crack of sunlight is pain full. Are there any ideas from other Migraine sufferers that might help? Any web sites that offer window treatment would be welcome.

Answer by kryssa
You can get black out for your windows its like window tenting on a car but for your home windows it is fairly cheap and u can get it at places like home depot and lowes. I’m sure Walmart even has it and to be on the safe side you can have the blinds up and they have black out shades. And if you just want, try to put velcro on the shades and stick it together.
I hope I helped.
