You'll Love These Large Window Coverings From Hunter Douglas

In Texas, the saying is, bigger is better! This is also true for your windows! Who doesn’t appreciate stunning views and plenty of sunshine? On the other hand, wide open spaces might create issues like excessive light and glare, reduced privacy, and heat gain. The Covered Creations design team often tackles this challenge with large custom window coverings manufactured by an industry leader: Hunter Douglas.

The Importance of Large Window Coverings

Too much sunlight can overheat rooms and fade furniture over time. The glare also makes it harder to see TV and computer screens; sometimes, you might need to wear sunglasses inside your home! Oversized windows can also compromise privacy, especially when on the first floor.

Finding the Right Fit

As a homeowner, you might hesitate to shop for large window coverings. We get it: This task can feel like a major project. But buying them off-the-shelf isn’t wise. Your selection might fit awkwardly, have light gaps, or be made of lower-quality materials and fabrics. And installing them on your own can be challenging.

Finding the right coverings can be tricky because large windows require functional solutions that match their size. Undersized and unstructured treatments may look out of place, while heavy options can overwhelm the window. Custom window treatments are best for large windows because they’re measured to fit and provide full coverage and easy to use controls. We also design them to match your specific décor styles.

Shutters are a Classic Large Window Covering

Hunter Douglas shutters offer a structured design, effective light control, and privacy for large windows. The adjustable louvers let you decide how much light enters the room while preserving the outside view.

We frequently recommend NewStyle® Composite Shutters for large windows. They mimic the look of genuine wood but are more durable; their composite materials stand up to heat and sunlight. These shutters feature Truemill® dovetail construction, a low-luster Finetech® finish, and 2 ½", 3 ½" or 4 ½" louver sizes.

Vertical Blinds for Large Windows

Vertical blinds work beautifully on larger windows, especially ones that are wider than they are tall. They don’t compromise the spacious feel of the room and offer fabric panels for a soft aesthetic. Depending on your selection, blinds for large windows can diffuse or block light.

Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds are innovative, hybrid large window coverings. They offer over 450+ fabric/color choices and sleek, fabric-covered gliding panels. And thanks to an interlocking bottom weight, these blinds move smoothly, stack tightly, and can be split to the side or center for easy access.

Cellular Shades Offer Energy Efficiency for Large Windows

Energy-efficient cellular shades trap air, creating an insulating barrier for comfortable indoor temperatures. That’s especially beneficial for large windows, which often contribute to temperature fluctuations in a home.

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades are surprisingly versatile, with an impressive selection of widths, heights, pleat sizes, and fabrics. Choose Duette® Cellular Shades with Vertiglide™ for a vertical take on this insulating shade.
