Doors

Doors, doors, doors what to do with them? There are all types of doors with all different problems presented. My big concern right now is sliding doors. I have no idea what to do on them.  They are big and wide with an intrusive amount of glass that always needs to be covered. So the big dilemma is, how do I cover them?  To explain a sliding door  in plain English,  it is a door that slides and collapses into each other. They can either go from left to right or right to left. Sliding doors on average are about six feet and have two panel doors. Then there are over sized sliders which are usually anything above ninety six inches.  These doors tend to have three to four panels. On a three panel door either the middle one slides, and the two sides are stationary, or vice versa where the sides slide in and the middle is stationary. The same concept is used for a four panel sliding door.

Panel Tracks – not only for doors, then what for?

Growing up I lived in a small 3 bedroom house with my mom and 2 older sisters. Which meant there were four of us and 2 were shafted into sharing a room with one another. My mom clearly got her own room and my oldest sister Melissa was in high school, so there was no way she was rooming with her two little sisters. So you guessed it right, it was me and my sister Jen sharing a room. We at least for the most part had the largest bedroom in the house. Enough room for 2 twin size beds side by side with at least 5 feet in between with our own walk in closets. So for the most part I couldn’t complain. My sister and me were only a year apart so we got along, most of the time. But there were times I wish I could go to my room and feel I had my own space. If you’re wondering it never happened, until I moved out of course.

Verticals are they extinct?

If verticals are really extinct why are there so many choices? Why are there so many colors? Why are there so many patterns and options? Why can I get them with a backing? I just don’t understand this is a confusing matter. Why are people still buying them? I was watching tv and on  they were saying how verticals are an out dated look.  They say out there that it’s an old lady look with the floral patterns. When they are plain they portray more of an office look. To add to this supposedly they can be loud when the wind blows them left to right and they break easily at the top.

Panel Tracks – The Stylish New Way To Treat Your Slider?!

As I was roaming around the blind stores in the area, I was trying to come up with a treatment for the new slider we added in our basement – I love having it open, but because of the sun coming in on the TV in the afternoon it needs to be covered.  We had refinished the room completely, and it now serves as a family/entertaining room, and installed a slider that opens up to the backyard and pool.  Chances are it will become the new hangout for my teenage daughter and her friends, as well as a great place to entertain my friends.
