Need help with window dressings for living area
Comments (18)Thanks team. Here's another idea - what about white wooden blinds? I actually like having no coverings on the windows for most of the time. eg. We have great views west and east, so the doors/windows are normally open 6 months of the year. They still need to be dressed, but with something that doesn't hinder the view. They could be up for most of the summer, and only let down if I need to keep some heat out or in winter to keep the cold out. I'm concerned they would be too heavy to operate being most of my window/door widths are 240cm. I've never worked with a consultant before... should I get someone to come in and give me a professional opinion?...See MoreWindow Treatments
Comments (7)I would suggest a neutral based solar film that can offer the best in both reasonable privacy without effecting the natural view that you would normally get with clear glass (as opposed to the coloured films and glass tinted versions )whilst offing excellent fade protection and some glare reduction from off the water and improved glass insulation & glass safety . As a business dealing with these films , I've used this particular range of American made PROTEK films over 30 years for situations such as your selves with very good feed back from customers . Using the film can get around; in most applications ; from not using closed or partly close blinds and curtains that would otherwise effect those beautiful views .

Comments (10)Hi cprestonthomas if you want to maintain privacy with daytime light control, replacing the clear glass with white translucent glass is a great idea! Then for night time privacy a simple chain operated blockout roller blind on the reverse roll is the way to go. Is that another window beside your sliding doors? If so I don't think you have enough stack back for curtains. This means the curtain fabric would cover part of the glass on the sliding doors which would be extremely annoying for loss of light as well as ease of access. If the extension is quite modern, blockout roller blinds on both the sliding doors and window would work well here too. There are some fabulous roller blind fabrics these days in some great neutrals, colours and patterns....See MoreSuggestions for a window treatment for this please...
Comments (25)One of the biggest issues with shutters is the dusk and if you employ cedar they will fade unevenly in the sun. I think the best resolution lies in the glass. This will give you your privacy as well as low maintenance with the view unencumbered. There are glazing solutions that can be "switched on" to obscure for privacy. This may give you the best of both worlds. Fantastic View what a great place for a bath......See More- 7 years ago
