Stairway Windows with Top-Down Bottom-Up Features

It’s a common dilemma many of us face when windows are located by the stairs. This area needs to coordinate with both upstairs and downstairs. Stairway windows can also require a low-profile design, with light control and privacy being sought-after. These top-down, bottom-up shades check all the boxes.

I’ve got them, you’ve got them, every homeowner has them…glass doors. Whether it’s a patio door leading to an outdoor space, french doors on the balcony, or sliding doors that showcase the view of the pool, glass doors are a popular feature here in Florida. It makes sense that many homeowners would be searching for ways to cover them. As nice as it is to enjoy the sunshine and views, light control and privacy for doors are top priorities.

Room Darkening & Blackout Solutions

It’s no surprise that room-darkening blinds are among our favorite window coverings. It’s Florida. We get a lot of sunshine, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want to sleep in. We want to have our cake and eat it, too. Blocking out the light can help catch some extra Zzzz’s, but it can also keep that hot afternoon sunlight from entering your home.
