TESTIMONIALS
“I have 2 amazing looking windows! Light can still shine in, but I don’t have to look into the neighbours houses! Thanks again”
Brenda, DIY Customer
“I wanted to tell you how delighted we are with the product. We installed it in our oldest daughter’s room who didn’t want curtains she had to remember open and close each day and she LOVES the rainbow effect this design casts in her room all day with the sun shining through. It was easy to install and I simply wanted to pass along my thanks for being able to provide an alternative to curtains that works so very well. I get the privacy for her room that I wanted, and she gets the light she wanted without having to deal with pesky curtains. 🙂 Thank you,”
