In Jodie Fabian\u2019s world, spring and summer days tend to bring in customers with a common need.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey generally are looking for ways to block the glare of the sun but preserve a beautiful view to the outside,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd there are ways to accomplish this with materials that allow for both light control and visibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
