window covering for french door, mix & match?
Comments (12)Hi AnnieDeighnaugh, thanks for the links, will check them out. Hi lepages, thanks, I am thinking the roman shades are a good choice for the french door. Hi sweet-tea, thanks for the links, the roman shades look great. Hi sasafras, thanks I'd like to leave them blank but to conserve energy I'd like to add something to save on heat loss in winter and to block the direct sunlight in the window which faces west, the french door faces south but there is a covered porch there and we are way up on a hill so I doubt anyone can see in unless they have a telescope, lol...See MoreSingle French Door, Regular French Doors of Sliding French Doors
Comments (8)Decent quality sliding - or folding sliding doors - will do the job and last more than 15 years. Of course you have to fit them properly for a good seal so choose an experienced fitter, a specialist fitter or buy a door that can be fitted by the manufacturer. As with anything, you get what you pay for. Untreated softwoods are likley to warp over time so treated woods, hardwoods or metal doors will perform well over a longer period....See MoreBest Window Covering Option(s) for Window and French Doors?
Comments (4)Bridget, thank you for the link to the Roman shades; I hadn’t thought about something like that. Patricia, I’m posting some photos below. I’m in the process of buying this house, so these are photos of the current owner’s furniture, curtains, etc. I am planning to make quite a few updates (new paint, lighting, refacing the fireplace, etc), but am concerned about getting something to cover the windows as soon as the painting is done, before I move in. The first pic is a view of the 98x30 window and front door, taken from the area by the French doors. The second shows the French doors as you walk in the front door. Third is another photo of the French doors, but the size is skewed by the camera, they aren’t that wide. I will be painting them white. Walls will be a neutral color, maybe a light greige? And while you are looking at these... I was thinking of taking the tile off the fireplace and replacing with white ledger stone to the (8’) ceiling. I thought it might look batter if the tiled part wasn’t as wide as it is now, would you agree? Do you think built-ins on both sides would look good? Thank you!...See MoreFront Door to Compliment Anderson DH Windows and French Doors
Comments (5)@Sulsa, what were you quoted for the Anderson? That will help us to know where you desired price point is. I like Jeld-wen and Thermatru fiberglass doors, but not from big box stores- you want the ones sold be independent sellers or local lumberyards. Jeld-wen definitely has the door style pictured above....See Morepalimpsest
