Spring is in the air! This is the time of year we all look forward to in the Reno area - spending time outside and enjoying fresh air and beautiful sunshine. Are your doors giving you trouble? Light control, in regard to doors, can leave many homeowners feeling frustrated. There are some great solutions out there in window coverings for your doors that will let you enjoy as much springtime sunshine as you would like, while also allowing functional access to your outdoor space. Here are just a few of our favorites...
If you have sidelights - also referred to as privacy windows - you are probably looking for ways to dress them. Incoming light has a great way of brightening your entrance, but can be horrible for privacy. While the privacy windows help your awareness of what is happening outside your front door, you shouldn’t have to feel overexposed.

Top/down, bottom/up operation means you can let natural light in while maintaining your privacy. The cellular design offers energy efficiency so your home can remain a comfortable temperature throughout the year. The fabrics and colors you select will allow your entranceway to complement your home’s unique decor.

The opening and closing never stops - children, pets, family and friends constantly in and out. Sliding glass doors are often convenient and easy to use, even for your little ones, but they can pose problems as well.
