Custom Floor-to-Ceiling Shades for Denver Homes

The view is stunning; the light streams in. Having large windows in your Colorado home can seem like a dream. Don’t feel guilty about considering covering them. After all, it’s okay to want to close off your space sometimes, even if privacy isn’t a concern. And, we all love sunlight, but bright sunshine can be too much–especially if it’s wreaking havoc in your home with uncontrolled glare, exhausting temps or faded flooring and walls. What if we told you that you could have everything you love, while controlling the elements?

What Are the Best Window Treatments for Large Windows?

As you can tell, the best window treatments for large windows can depend on the atmosphere you prefer in your home–and the issues you are facing with your windows. That’s why the answer can vary based on the homeowner. Popular options for covering large windows are vertical shades and blinds, sheer panels, solar shades and motorized top down bottom up shades that let light in and offer views out, while reducing glare and heat.

What are Denver favorites?

When it comes to adding floor to ceiling blinds and shades, it’s never just about the window coverings alone. The best results always come from a variety of features. Denver homeowners love combining function and style with floor-to-ceiling shades, such as Hunter Douglas Pirouette®, Luminette®, and Duette® Honeycomb Shades. These styles provide view-through light control, energy efficiency, and elegant modern design.

Love the View, Control the Glare

If you find yourself wondering how to preserve mountain views while reducing glare, you’re not alone. View-through shades with sheer fabrics are ideal for reducing glare while preserving outdoor views. Sheer materials filter sunlight and sharpen the view, making your scenery even more vivid while cutting brightness and UV exposure. Various types of view-through shades are usually made with sheer fabrics. The sheer fabrics diffuse the light, cutting the glare, and they often crisp up the view so it’s even better than bare windows. Another option is to select top down window treatments that let in light and views without uncovering the entire window.

Experience Light, Control the Temps + Privacy

Even if you love natural light, but too much can be frustrating. A favorite feature in the Denver area is top down shades. This invites light in across the ceiling to illuminate the room, allowing the rest of the window to remain covered for privacy and light control. No more light in your eyes, or temperatures to try to maintain. A similar option for plantation shutters is called split tilt, giving you the freedom to make adjustments that contour the light while providing privacy and energy efficiency.

Enjoy Landscape Views + Natural Light, Cut Energy Costs

Is there a way to cover large windows and experience energy efficiency? Yes, there sure is! Yes. Cellular shades such as Duette Honeycomb Shades add insulation to your large windows, improving comfort and reducing energy costs. The Duolite® feature allows both light-filtering and room-darkening options at the same window for maximum flexibility. Light filtering cellular shades are a popular choice that can soften the light, enhance the view and maintain temperatures.

Reach Those Tall Windows with Your Very Own Personal Assistant

Motorized shades are perfect for tall, hard-to-reach windows. They can be controlled by remote, app, or voice assistant, allowing you to automate movement and adjust light throughout the day. Also known as smart shades, motorized blinds act as your very own personal assistant, maintaining the best atmosphere within your home 24 hours a day, including scheduled movement and dynamic scene setting. Effortless and oh, so enjoyable.
