Hi all,

I have a sliding door in a small media room that needs a window treatment. One family member is pushing for sliding plantation shutters however, I'm very concerned that the hard material will cause an echo in a small media room. Also, they won't effectively block out light. And finally, the window doesn't have an architrave or anything on it - I think it's called square set. How are sliding plantations installed - someone said the top tracks don't need a bulk head over them or a frame - but I don't think this sounds correct from all the installation videos I've watched.

So, would be a better window treatment for a small media room sliding door - I don't mind curtains or vertical blinds. But is there a type/brand/style that would be better than others?

Many thanks.
