Large Window Blinds: Get the Best Custom Window Treatments for Extra-Wide Windows!

Benefits of Extra-Wide Window Blinds

Large window blinds are ideal for controlling light and privacy on sliding doors, bay windows, or other extra large windows in our living spaces. They come in many forms, but can be adjusted to allow more or less natural light into the space. You can even get blackout materials for better sleep in a bedroom, or for watching a movie in your living room. Covering your large windows also offers insulation benefits by blocking out drafts and helping to keep rooms cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Extra-wide window blinds such as vertical blinds, sliding panels, or vertical cellular shades have the advantage of being designed for large spaces. This means that you can cover your entire window with one window treatment, that is easily operable, and that is designed to neatly and compactly open out of the way when not in use. Other types of blinds or shades may require you to divide the window into multiple sections, meaning that you will have gaps between blinds and a less consistent look.

Since many extra wide window treatments open side to side rather than up and down, they are great for sliding doors as they will not block access to the door when you move them to one side. They can also be fitted with motorized or cordless lifts which is great for high-traffic areas and to reduce hazardous risk to children and pets. One downside is that large window blinds tend to be more expensive than other types of window treatments due to their size.

Installing Large Window Blinds

Don’t let the size intimidate you! Installing large window blinds is actually relatively easy. Most types of shades require simply drilling in a few brackets and clipping on the shade or headrail. Some vertical blinds also need you to attach the louvers to the hooks on the track.
