There are a few different ways to cover windows on doors. Check out our recommendations!
Exit Doors
Most job sites have rules and regulations about first floor exit doors having to remain cover-free and clear. Find out about your site requirements to make sure emergency codes are being followed.
Rod Top To Bottom (RTB) Drapes
RTB drapes are always attached to the door which makes them a great option when wall space limits the ability for a drapery to traverse over the opening.
Roller Shades
Roller shades are a great solution for covering doors. They can be wall mounted above the door for easy access and unobstructed views, or be mounted to the door, however, battery-powered shades are the only option when combining motorization and door mount installation.
Crash Bar
Our recommended method for covering doors with crash bars is installing a reverse roll shade. With these, the orientation of the shade fabric rolls off the front of the tube (towards the room), allowing the shade band to fall in front of the crash bar without difficulty.
Filming Glass
Window tinting is an ideal solution for when space is limited. Available in a multitude of transparencies, please consult with your GC to explore these options further.
