Vertical Blind Alternatives to Reinvent Your Large Windows and Glass Doors
Large windows and glass doors are major selling features in the home, connecting living spaces with the outdoors. They’re attractive, yet they cause energy efficiency and privacy problems. It can be disappointing to cover them up unless you cover them with window treatments that are as stunning as the view outside. We’ve rounded up four stylish Hunter Douglas window fashions that will change the way you interact with your large format windows and doors.
1. Skyline® Gliding Window Panels
The sleek modern lines and sophisticated global fabrics of Skyline® Gliding Window Panels by Hunter Douglas make them more of a design feature than simply a window covering. Crisp, minimalist panels stack back for a superb, unobstructed view, and the stack of panels is a striking element all on its own. Choose from hundreds of fabric styles, colors, and opacities, including the Alustra® Woven Textures® Collection, for a design that suits you perfectly. You can attach an infinite number of the 11.5” or 17” panels to the slim headrail, so Skyline® Gliding Window Panels can work for almost any window size. Optional top treatments include a fabric-wrapped cassette, metal valance, matching fabric valance, or box valance.
2. Luminette® Privacy Sheers
The revolutionary combination of sheer fabric backed with vertical vanes for light control and privacy makes Luminette® Privacy Sheers an ideal solution for your large format window or sliding glass doors. Room-darkening fabrics are available for spaces that need extra light control, and all fabrics are available by the yard to create matching accessories. The hidden SofTrak™ hardware keeps the focus on the beauty of your sheers and your views without the distraction of visible mechanisms.
3. Cadence® Soft Vertical Blinds
Cadence® Soft Vertical Blinds combine the function of vertical blinds with the beauty of drapery. Curved vanes in a wide variety of fabrics imitate the draping folds of curtains. The materials used to make Cadence® are excellent at absorbing sound, making for a quieter room, and the signature headrail eliminates gaps for superior light control. With Cadence® as an option, you’ll never consider traditional vertical blinds again.
4. Duette® Honeycomb Shades with Vertiglide®
The insulating pocket of air trapped in cellular shades makes them an excellent choice for rooms that get a lot of direct sunlight or have large expanses of glass. For rooms that have both, they’re the ideal choice. With Vertiglide®, Duette® Honeycomb Shades from Hunter Douglas turn their traditional honeycomb shade design on its head with large, vertical cells that are ideal for wide windows and sliding glass doors. The honeycomb pocket improves the energy efficiency and sound absorption of your room, so your sunroom can become a cool, private oasis even during the heat of a summer day.
