High windows in vaulted hallway - any ideas?

[pa.wilkins]

Hi! I have a client who has a very impressive vaulted, high ceiling hallway. There are two windows about 10 metres above floor level. She wants to dress the windows in keeping with the grandeur of the hallway but also wants the facility to close the blind/ curtains at night-time!! Has anyone got any ideas?

Sounds like it might be a situation for remote control blinds/curtains - there are various solutions available, I know Silent Gliss have systems.

Unless she wants to get a ladder out every night, remote control is the only option

What about a very long pole with a hook on the end????? or stilts?

Seriously - you can see info about the Silent Gliss curtain systems here http://www.silentgliss.co.uk/go/Prod...+Track+Systems if you go to the roman or roller blind section they also have electric ones of these perhaps with dress curtains.....?

Thank you for your replies. I will investigate the Silent Gliss. My client wondered about a Roman Blind with a very long cord! I'm not sure you'd get the leverage to raise the blind - what do you think?

What is the actual window space that is to be dressed? does your client want the curtains to fall to the floor or hang mid way? Can we get a picture?

I will try to post a photo of the windows. Paula
