I purchased these to cover a slider. I like the fact that they lay so flat when opened. I am going to add a valance also to “ finish” the look. I am surprised that manufacturers aren’t providing valances. They could provide more and different choices . I had an estimate from a blinds company for a similar blind, but the quote was $697.00. No way, this price is much more reasonable! Gray blinds are not easily located, but these are great.
