On this page, you will find many various installation and application concepts for shoji screen. These are just some ideas, of course, feel free to be creative in what would best work for your particular application. We can't promise that we can do anything, but it certainly won't hurt to ask!

In this concept, the windows are covered by bi-folding screens. To open the screens, they lift to the ceiling, and hang from a hook.

In this concept, screens are installed on hinges similar to those on your kitchen cabinets. If you do not mind the screens swinging into the room, this is a very handy option. It's important to note, however, that the screens cannot lay flat against the wall.

The installation shown here has the screens mounted inside the window bay, they can easily be made larger and then cover up the entire opening. In the first scenario, there would be gaps between the screen and the window bay walls to allow for the screens to open and close. In the second option, the screens would cover the entire opening save for a small space between the two screens.

The previous concept can be combined with a third screen, one without the shoji paper but an open, decorative pattern instead. The lower screens provide the necessary privacy, while the upper screen would allow a cool breeze into the room through the open window behind it.

There are a variety of installation options available for this third screen, depending on how often you would want to open this upper screen.

If you have the wall space around or near your windows, a simple eye-hook installation allows the screens to hang in front of your windows when you want them closed for privacy, to keep out the sunlight or to keep your room cooler in the summer heat.

. . . and then when you want the windows open, you simply lift the screens off one set of hooks and hang from another where they will look like pieces of Japanese artwork. Or if the hooks are too much hassle, a track can be installed above the window for the screens to slide upon.
