They also leak a ton of light and are no good with televisions and bedrooms.
We ended up replacing them all with the accordion style blinds.
TLDR, all show no go.

Thanks. The black-out accordion ones actually look pretty decent. We might to that route instead. I am kind of wondering now how much extra it would have cost to just get the magnetic operated blinds that are sandwiched between the panes. Our patio doors have those and they’ve worked well.
