What to Do About a Patio Door or Slider
Our windows are our connection to the outside world, and often, if customers have a large expanse of glass such as a sliding glass door, they tend to hold off on treating it, in part because they’re afraid of losing the view but also because they’re afraid to bring the wrong treatment in for that large of a space. At Blinds & Designs serving Marin County, we know the benefits of treating all windows, and we like to help our customers find the right treatment that will keep them happy for years to come. If you’re considering treating a slider or patio door, speak with one of our representatives today.
