Cellular Honeycomb Shades

Windows can be one of the biggest culprits of energy inefficiency in a home, allowing for the unwanted exchange of energy between your controlled interior environment and the chaotic outside world. This can mean letting the heat out and the cold in during winter months, and just the opposite in warmer times - these shades equally prevent costly AC escaping and heat invading the home. Energy loss through windows affects not only the comfort level of your home but also the cost of maintaining that comfort level. This is why many homeowners opt for the insulating power of cellular shades for extra wide or particularly tall windows. Cellular shades are renowned for their energy efficient properties, using their insulating design to stop the exchange of energy through windows making them ideal window coverings for tall windows.

Drapery and Side Panels

For some window treatments the proportions of a tall window can either throw their design aesthetic off or create a treatment too bulky and cumbersome to easily move. Drapery, on the other hand, can be customized to any length window and even has many styles with floor to ceiling coverage. This treatment is already suited for the larger sized panes with styles and designs meant for larger proportions. If your tall window needs dressing but doesn’t require privacy or light control, consider side panels. Side panels will help define tall windows within the space, framing their view for visual allure with rich textiles. And with both drapery and side panels from Hunter Douglas the vast fabric selection available allows you to either match existing décor for seamless style or create a one-of-a-kind window fashion for your home.

Motorized Window Shades

Window coverings for tall windows can often be difficult for homeowners to control, being either too heavy for manual manipulation or too high up to easily be reached.
