My new shop has 9 30" x 30" windows and a set of divided light French doors.
I'd like to add some sort of window treatment to all the glass, mainly to limit UV degradation and solar heating due to the sunlight streaming in when I'm not in the shop. I finally pulled the plastic film off the windows and, wow, especially in the morning and late afternoon, the sun really lights up the place.
Does anyone have any suggestions or clever ideas for the best type of blinds to get? Obviously, I'd like something durable and relatively inexpensive, yet easy to keep clean.
Also, the bases of the 30" windows are 7 ft above the floor, so I'll need a way to easily open/close the window treatments without hauling out a ladder (plus a few windows will have a countertop in front of them).
