Custom Drapery & Curtains Mount Pleasant – Free Installation

Yes, with a ceiling-mounted track instead of a wall rod. The track runs corner to corner and the panels stack wherever there is room, including over part of the glass. Losing a little window edge is a fair trade for the height a ceiling mount gives. Where the window sits right against a corner, a single panel drawn to one side often looks better than a pair.

For warmth, yes. The shade does the insulating and the panels add a second still-air layer when they are closed, and together they make a big rear window far less noticeable in winter. For looks it also breaks up a wide expanse of glass. Keep the rod outside the frame so the drapery never interferes with the shade's headrail.

Stop the panels above the vent. A panel that covers a floor register traps the heat behind the fabric and sends it up the window instead of into the room, which is the opposite of what you want in January. We hem to sit just clear of the outlet. Where the vent sits in the floor a little forward of the wall, full-length panels are fine.

It is, and the ceiling mount these floor plans need suits a track better than a rod anyway. Battery track motors avoid running power to a finished ceiling. The main thing to plan is where the motor housing sits, since it adds length at one end and the wall corner is often right there. We check the run at the measure before anything is ordered.
