Large windows are a dream come true for any homeowner. They offer stunning sightlines and allow for rays of cascading light to illuminate your space. While large windows are beneficial, open expanses of glass are difficult to dress appropriately. That’s where custom window treatments can save the day without covering up your wide windows when you want to take advantage of the views.

Today, our team at Supershade South discusses the benefits of large windows and our more of our favorite window coverings perfect for expansive panels of glass. We’ll also discuss how automation can simplify your life when you have large window treatments.

The Benefits of Large Windows

Large windows can make your space appear larger than it is, and they also usher in tons of natural light. This can positively affect your mood, mental health, and even your immune system.

When open, large windows can improve the quality of your interior air because they improve oxygen circulation. Finally, large windows can create a more integrated indoor/outdoor space common in many Florida homes, so you feel you are more fully living in the natural world—not stuck inside of your house.

The Benefits of Large Window Coverings

Covering your large windows is essential for various reasons.

• First, did you know that up to 30% of air loss happens at the windows? Large windows are subject to cold or hot air drafts, making your home less comfortable than you might wish. Window coverings that fit close to the windows work to address this problem and help you save on your energy consumption.
• Second, since they take up a great deal of architectural real estate, you want to be confident that your window treatments carry through your interior design. Hunter Douglas window treatments can be customized to appeal to your aesthetic and prevent the sun from directly pouring in when you need privacy, while at the same time adding to your home’s overall interior design.
• Third, if you live in a busy urban neighborhood, you know how important your privacy is. Window treatments offer superior light management and privacy control customized for your needs.

Our Best Window Coverings for Large Windows

Now that you better understand the benefits and reasons for covering large windows, let’s explore some of our finest treatments that are ideally suited for them.

• Luminette® Sheer Panels are a vertically oriented sheer shade that adds a soft elegance to large windows. Made from a combination of drapery-like sheer panels and opaque fabric vanes, you can rotate these shades to enjoy open views or privacy by turning the vanes to one or another direction. Traverse the track using the wand or cord system to open them entirely.
  

• Roller Shades are well suited for windows of all sizes because they offer a clean, uncluttered look, allowing your window to take center stage. We carry several varieties in different fabrics and opacities. Our child- and pet-safe LiteRise® system allows you to push the shade up or pull it down for convenient shade when you need it.
  

• Duette® Cellular Shades are great for sliding glass doors and other large windows in your home. Since they’re available in both horizontal and vertical orientations, you can choose unique shading styles to suit your window. Known for their excellent energy efficiency, cellular shades will save you money on your electricity bill by adding a layer of insulation to your window. This keeps inside air in and outside air out, protecting your home from air leaks. This fabric shade features hidden pockets of honeycomb cells that fit close to windows of all sizes—including large windows.
  

• Woven Wood Shades are a perfect choice if you enjoy an sustainable design that utilizes natural elements. Woven shades naturally diffuse light and transform your home into a calm, cozy atmosphere. We carry distinct styles in refined natural fibers or materials woven from reeds, bamboo, and natural grasses. Choose from roller shade, Roman shade, and vertical drapery styles.
  

Automate Your Large Window Coverings

PowerView® Automation lets you control your window treatments with the PowerView® app, the Pebble® remote, and via voice command when partnered with your smart home system via the PowerView® Gateway.

Large window treatments are heavy. Automating your extensive window treatments makes control and management easier and more convenient than ever, which means that you will find yourself using your window treatments even more.

• Protect your home from UV damage when the sun is overhead. Your furnishings and belongings will last much longer when you control light with automated shades.
• PowerView® Automation also offers the benefits of advanced security and safety. Not only can you control your window coverings when you’re at home or at rest—but you can open and close your window treatments when you’re away to mimic the look of occupancy.
