What Are the Best Blinds for Large Windows?

Every homeowner dreams of expansive wall-to-wall windows that let in bountiful rays of sun and give way to breathtaking views. But what many people see as an ideal feature can also be a troublesome area in a home. Finding the best vertical blinds for large windows can be tricky, but our Hunter Douglas certified team at Barrows Custom Window Treatments makes it easy!

Big Considerations in Blinds for Large Windows

If you’re shopping at a big box store, large windows pose a few potential difficulties when sourcing blinds, shades, sheers, and drapes in the proper dimensions. Compared to standard windows, which are usually taller than they are wide, broad windows are often wider than tall. Traditional window treatments do not fit these alternative measurements, so homeowners must search for specific blinds for large windows.

Additionally, expansive windows may also cause potential heating and cooling issues. Vulnerable points around the home, such as windows and doors, are especially prone to drafts and energy loss. Increasing the size of these areas also increases the potential for inconsistent energy usage, wasting energy and hiking up your heating and cooling costs. Installing energy-efficient window coverings can help shield these areas against energy loss and keep your home comfortable year-round.

When you work with our Barrows Consultants, we can help you find the perfect custom-sized shades and blinds for your large windows that keep function and efficiency in mind—as well as style.

Modern Blinds for Windows

Traditionally, builders and designers used one specific window treatment for every home with large windows. You know the one—long, flimsy strips of white plastic attached to a metal tracking above the window. Aesthetically infuriating, barely functional, and prone to breakage, this tired window treatment is finally making its way out of the mainstream design world and allowing sleeker, more modern styles to take place. Say goodbye to outdated plastic and hello to chic sheers and luxe panels when you check out the options we have in store!
