This pole has no rings. The hidden carriers carry the draper along under the pole to close and overlap in the center. Shown with a 3 finger, pinch pleated header, the return to the wall conceals all of the hardware beneath the rod. Paulette Lilla

Mounting outside of the window frame, the glass is completely exposed wen the drapery is stacked back. The blackout-lined panels have fullness at 2X the width of the opening.

The single window was close to the corner of the room. We were able to stack out just enough to clear the glass, yet make the finial feel at home in its space. Photos by Paulette Lilla
