This picture shows a shot at dusk of screens covering a set of bay windows. The sunlight is still strong enough to pass through
the screens even at this time of day. During the normal daylight hours, these screens would keep the room brightly lit with natural
sunlight, but provide both privacy and a small amount of cooling as the white warlon paper reflects much of the heat back outside.

Here are those same bay windows opened wide to look out onto a bright and sunny Seattle day. Note that with this installation concept, the entire
expanse of the window is open, there is not stack from your curtain or blind to rob you of even a square inch of your view . . .

These screens (there were 16 all told) were made for every window in a house in Atlanta. It was a simple yet elegant design done in a dark
stain. They open inward on hinges.

Here is the kitchen in that same house in Atlanta. Even the kitchen door window received a screen to match the rest of the house . . .
|
| |
. . . and from the same house, but on the outside looking in as the houses interior lights back light the screen.

The lower screens provide you the privacy you would need, while the uppers screen is made up of a dense gridwork without Shoji paper.
This design allows you to open the windows behind the screens to let in fresh air while the screens still block viewing from the outside.

Here are those same windows, but with the lower screens open.

This was a unique application. This screen, while it is in this position on the wall, covers up a small opening, a nook in the wall itself.
In that opening is a small alcove where the owner's digital projector and stereo equipment are kept.
When the projector is in use, the screen comes off of the wall and hangs in the middle of the room from the ceiling.
The back side of the screen acts as a projection screen for the digital projector . . .

And here you can see the shoji screen acting as a movie screen. Obviously there isn't a gridwork on the back, but there is a backing
that was added to the screen because the shoji paper would be too translucent to make a good projection screen by itself.

The two lower screens slide back and forth and have the shoji paper for privacy while the upper screen
is papermaker for a view out the window. The warlon paper in the screen is quite resistant to moisture and can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
The wood itself can be coated with polyurethane to protect it against water.

No job is too small for us! In this picture you see that the customer purchased two screens in a stain to match a piece of furniture.
They used the screens to cover up a bookcase that resides in that small alcove or nook.
