Windows come in all shapes and sizes. But it’s the big, tall, and wide ones that really need solutions. Looking for some large window covering ideas? We have some inspiration, a breakdown of the features, style suggestions, and the measurement sizes you can use as a guide.
*Sizing information can vary, depending on the window specifics, fabrics, and features.
Feeling the Heat
Direct sunlight windows are a challenge to begin with. Make them floor to ceiling, and it gets even hotter. It’s incredibly beneficial to understand how to solve these issues with the right coverings and operating features. Large window coverings that need to be adjusted often make life much easier with motorization. One tap for instant changes–it’s simple and refreshing.
Honeycomb shades are a go-to when it comes to large windows. The heat is blocked out, but light still makes the space glow. A great feature is that they come in horizontal and vertical options. With the Duolite dual shades feature, you get two shades in one, adjusted as needed, for dynamic light control.
- Horizontal Maximum Measurements for windows up to 14 feet wide, 12 feet tall
- Vertical Maximum Measurements for windows up to 28 feet wide, 10 feet tall
Privacy Matters
When you have a landscape to admire it’s tough to think that needs to be blocked in order for you to have privacy. However, it doesn’t have to be like that. Sheer shades can help block out the harmful stuff, while still allowing you to enjoy the view. What are the large window covering ideas we have that will keep your privacy? Let’s take a look.
Pirouette Shades have a dual shade feature to show off the landscape, close off the view completely, or can be rolled into the rail out of sight. These shades have solid fabric vanes that fold in place to reveal a sheer fabric view.
