My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Privacy for sliding glass doors?

10 years ago
We have the typical sliding glass doors in our kitchen that lead to our back deck. We love how much light we get through the doors during the day but at night with our kitchen lights on we are sure those who live in the house behind us can see us clear as day from their house. What, besides curtains, could we use to create some privacy at night without taking away the sunlight during the day or being able to see out from the inside? Thank you!
