Shutter Types Explained
A window shutter is described as a solid and stable window covering typically consisting of a frame of vertical stiles and horizontal rails. Set within this frame can be louvers (both operable or fixed, horizontal or vertical), solid panels, fabric, glass and most any other item that you can mount within a frame.

Sheers – Hunter Douglas Window Fashions
Sheer curtains are always lovely for your windows. They can help filter the amount of sunlight creeping in to your home. Also, they inject softness to your windows’ frame. Of course, privacy is given. You have the freedom to let them hang loosely to have your entire window covered, or you can have them tied to the side or place it in the window’s center.

How do you frame a stained glass window panel without blocking image ?
Question by A d: How do you frame a stained glass window panel without blocking image ?
Stained glass panel is 37.5″ high x 23.5″ wide. Will install it as part of a window treatment (incorporated as part of a custom-made window). Will not be suspended and needs to be framed prior to incorporating it to the window itself. Thanks for your prompt response !

Answer by Knowitall
To answer this a glazier like me must know:
What you are doing with the piece of glass specifically ? Did you have new windows put in ? The existing windows, are they dual or single payne ? Do you have a aluminum or wood frames there now & which would you prefer. I take it this is a type of picture window or very large bathroom window ? To give an answer I got to know what your doing. You can have a very thin frame however you will have to sacrafice atleast 1/4inch of the glass all way round to have a secure window. Glass is made sturdy by rubber on frame.
Now if you mean it needs to be a dual payne ? Take the window to a glass shop that makes insulated windows or energy efficent they call them. They will needs whats called an overall measurement which is the thickness the glass should be for the frame/setting. They will make you the unit w/ whatever glass you choose for the other side.
Best to call a glass company/glazier for the best outcome on whatever your customizing. Carpenter or framer will not deliver what you want.

Q&A: How to remove glue from an aluminum frame?
Question by jessica: How to remove glue from an aluminum frame?
The aluminum frame is actually the window frames on my boat. Previous owner had glued some kind of boarded window treatment. I took it all down and it left this sticky, glue like substance that won’t scrape off. I already used adhevise remover, an orange scented small bottle from target and tried scrapping it with a platics scrapper. No luck. Trying acetone now.

If it’s silicone try some WD40 and a putty knife or you could try to remove it with a heat gun and a putty knife.

Idea for inexpensive room-darkening treatment mounted outside the window frame?
Question by EllenElaina: Idea for inexpensive room-darkening treatment mounted outside the window frame?
Window is 76″ W 64″ H
Child’s room
Already have blinds mounted inside the frame that don’t block much light, but they have to stay.

Answer by Mary D
Plantation shutters are better at blocking light than blinds, but if the blinds stay, you should consider using drapes that are thick and dark. Between the blinds and the drapes, this should be a very effective way to keep out light.
