FAQ about Window Treatments for Large Windows
It’s true…the beautiful sunshine and gorgeous views are what many California homeowners love most. But, too much of a good thing is still TOO much. At California Window Fashions, our window covering specialists love to bring the solutions you need together with style that looks amazing in your home.
What types of windows are considered large windows?
The definition of “large” windows can vary. In general, we consider a window that is wider than 48″ or taller than 72″ to be large. When it comes to covering picture windows or floor to ceiling windows, those automatically fall into the large window category, as well as sliding doors. They might be doors, but it’s still a “window” into your Roseville area home.
What sizes of floor-to-ceiling windows can be covered?
Select collections can cover widths up to about 32 feet and heights up to 14 feet, depending on product orientation and line. Ask your specialist to confirm sizing for the specific collection you’re considering.
Which window treatments work best for large windows?
We often recommend vertical shades, draperies, roller shades and honeycomb shades to cover large windows since they are capable of covering large windows with style and ease of operation. Another great option is to combine two types of window treatments at the same window, such as roller shades with layered draperies, for levels of control and a stunning appearance.
Can floor-to-ceiling window coverings be automated?
Yes, you can order large shades, blinds and draperies with Hunter Douglas PowerView automation. This makes large window coverings simple to adjust with a remote or app.
How is privacy maintained with floor-to-ceiling glass?
The best way to get privacy with large expanses of glass is to choose the right solutions for your large windows. The top down bottom up feature offers privacy with natural light, allowing ample light to enter in across the ceiling, while protecting privacy at the bottom. Another popular feature for large window coverage is dual shades, which provide softened light during the day, while the secondary blackout roller shades is lowered for necessary privacy.
Are energy efficient shades an option for large windows?
Yes, we have a number of energy efficient window treatments that will protect the interior temperature of your California home. Honeycomb shades are available in both vertical and horizontal options to cover large windows. Many of our window shades are available with room darkening fabrics that can greatly reduce heat gain.
How should I cover multiple windows in a shared space?
Match style elements and coordinating fabrics while selecting the best function for each opening. In open-plan spaces with sliders, picture windows, and standard windows, coordination—not identical products—delivers the right light control, privacy, and a cohesive look for your Roseville home.
