Custom-Made Large Window Treatments
Large windows are one of those architectural features that can make or break a room. The natural light and views are hard to beat, but without the right window treatments, you’re also dealing with glare, heat gain, and lost privacy. Off-the-shelf blinds and shades rarely fit oversized or uniquely shaped windows well. Custom large window treatments solve that problem at every level, from fit and function to fabric and finish.
Window Fashions of Northern California works with the full Hunter Douglas line to design and install precision-fit shades, blinds, and drapery for homes throughout Fairfield, Fremont, and the surrounding region. Every product we carry is available in custom sizes, and our team handles measurement and installation, so you get a result that looks built for the space.
Vertical Blinds for Wide Windows
When a window is wider than it is tall, vertical blinds are a natural fit. They follow the glass surface’s horizontal span without overwhelming the space, and they stack neatly to the side when you want an unobstructed view. Their vertical orientation also makes these blinds one of the more practical large window treatment options for sliding glass doors and floor-to-ceiling window walls.
Hunter Douglas Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds are also a popular option in this category. Fabric-covered panels glide smoothly across the window on a track system, with an interlocking bottom weight that keeps everything taut and aligned. Available in over 450 fabrics and color combinations, it’s easy to match these vertical blinds with any interior style, from minimal to traditional.
Sheer Shades for Tall, Expansive Windows
Tall windows let in a lot of light, which is a big part of their appeal, but it also means glare and UV exposure shift significantly from morning to evening. Sheer shades can help manage these issues with adjustable fabric vanes that let you dial in exactly how much light enters the room at any given time.
Hunter Douglas Pirouette® Sheer Shades have a single transparent backing with adjustable fabric vanes along the front. The vanes tilt to manage incoming sunlight and protect furniture and flooring from UV damage over time. When you want a completely clear view, the entire shade lifts into the headrail. The combination of adjustability and clean sightlines makes Pirouette® Sheer Shades a practical large window treatment option for rooms where the view matters as much as the light control.
Cellular Shades for Insulation and Energy Efficiency
Large windows transfer more heat than smaller ones, which drives up energy costs in both summer and winter. Cellular shades address that directly. Their honeycomb structure traps air in pockets along the window, creating a thermal barrier that reduces heat transfer without blocking light entirely. For homes with expansive windows, the energy savings can be significant over time.
Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades come in horizontal and vertical configurations, making them adaptable to a wide range of window shapes and sizes. Multiple pleat dimensions and an extensive fabric library give you real flexibility on both performance and aesthetics. They’re also compatible with PowerView® Automation, making them a strong choice if motorization is a priority.
PowerView® Automation: Motorized Control for Large Window Treatments
Motorized window treatments are a practical upgrade for large or hard-to-reach windows. Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation lets you adjust any compatible treatment with a smartphone, tablet, or voice command, and you can set schedules so your shades open and close automatically throughout the day. Consistent, hands-free control can make a real difference for energy efficiency and privacy, especially in rooms with multiple large windows or high installations where manual operation isn’t convenient.
