Window treatments for large windows

Large windows bring plenty of light into your home but require window treatments that can handle wide sizes. Not every type is suitable: fabric weight, maximum width and ease of operation all play a major role. Vertical blinds slide open sideways effortlessly and are available up to 6 metres wide. Curtains add warmth and, combined with a roller blind, are the most versatile choice. Roller blinds are available up to around 500 cm wide; for wider windows, you can place multiple side by side.

Tips

Maximum width

Always check the maximum width per type. Vertical blinds go up to 6 m, roller blinds up to around 3 m.

Sturdy mounting

Wide treatments are heavier. Choose ceiling mounting or extra sturdy wall brackets to prevent sagging.

Electric operation

For wide windows, electric operation is recommended. It makes opening and closing effortless, even with heavy fabrics.

Layer it up

Combine a functional layer (roller blind) with a decorative layer (curtain) for the best result in ambiance and function.
