How is the open space above the unit covered? i.e., is there an extendable vinyl curtain or what?

We installed ours in a three pane window frame, i.e., left & right vertical windows open, and the center one is all glass. We measured and created a template that we used to cut a plexiglass replacement for the all glass window pane. So, we removed the window, installed the unit on a mount, then installed the plexiglass. In the Fall, we remove the unit, and reinstall the full glass window pane.

Hi Robert - There is an extendable frame that attaches to the top of the unit (slides up and down along the outside edges of the unit). It comes with a corrugated plastic panel, that you cut to size, that slides into that frame. So be sure to measure twice, cut once, as this closes off the top of the window. Always err on the side of longer, so you can adjust if needed. Pretty simple.

It is similar to other air conditioners - there is no extension that goes above the unit, only on both sides.

No, this is a casement - vertical kind of unit - no curtain is required or provided.

Sorry, I did not notice that your question was about a seal from above the unit. Still - no provision for it. You will have to cover the opening with your own materials - plywood, plank etc.

We used a cable curtain rod (sold through Amazon). (Look it up on Amazon's site.) My wife simply hemmed the material top and bottom, after sewing the panels together to create enough length. It all fits nicely behind our exesting drapes. This proved an excellent solution for our southern exposure room.

I have the black, gray and green curtain. It's thin enough to allow light in, but still able to provide plenty of privacy. Hope this helps.

I am using a clear liner with this curtain. It is in a guest bath with a high window over the tub. It lets the light come through a little better, since there is no other windows in the bathroom.

That's a small window! You may need to have a board cut to fit any gap which results. One VERY important thing: The filter slides out the SIDE, so don't install it right up the a window frame close to the right. It has the be in the middle of the window area. Mine is installed in a regular apartment size window...and it was a real hassle. I also have no way to clean the filter easily. Works fine though, although it's a bit noisy.

Needs a plastic liner. The curtain is made of sheer polyester similar to sheer window curtains. I love it.

The answer provided by quirky help is incorrect. The curtain is held in place by 2 Latches that hook to a metal rod on the side of the unit. It is not air tight at all. As a matter of fact it allows more air / lite leakage than the normal accordion sides. Do not be fooled. I'm highly disappointed in this unit so far. It only cools down to 64, not 60 like most other units(I like it cold when I sleep). Be prepared to purchase extra insulation for the sides, the curtains aren't much more than canvas. For the price point 299$. I could have gotten a 12000 BTU unit. Very disappointed currently. Great concept. Very poor implementation The answer provided by quirky help is incorrect.

The underside is the same as the top. It seems to be treated with a water repellent. It is not vinyl. Love the quality, and it looks great.

I bought this for my mother who had curtains already. Sorry can't help you.

There is no paper or transparent covering. Just a beautiful swirled wood design. I am very happy with it. Use it to separate a room and keep pets out.

Hi. Where the two rods meet there is a tapered plastic washer that eliminates a severe bump or seam. The curtain slides easily and doesn't get hung up due to that tapered washer.

No, the windows are open. Just the slats, no covering like glass or plexiglass

There's plenty of headroom, but the panel framework is quite thin and may not hold much weight such as a curtain. I've had other screen houses over the years and can't imagine any of them being able to do much more other than to hold the weight of the vinyl roof. These things are supposed to be seasonal and portable in nature. I for one, have added anchors to each panel channel for I keep it up year round except for the roof which I remove before the first snowfall. I live in New England. These units are very nice and my wife and I enjoy the very much from around the first of April right through much of October ( weather permitting ) There's plenty of headroom, but the panel framework is quite thin and may not hold much weight such as a curtain.

The standard size curtains have enough extra material to reach. You will not have quite as much folding.

Vinyl and very sturdy. Get a shower curtain liner to go with this because it is see through.

It can be removed..its basically a vinyl curtain that attaches and divides the space in half.

They make a matching shower curtain. You might be able to do something with it.
