Oversized Or Large Window Solutions
Large or oversized windows offer expansive views of the world outside and let in abundant natural light. That being said, they can be tricky to cover.
Whether you're looking to diffuse sunlight at certain times of day, gain a sense of privacy, or integrate big windows into your overall interior design scheme, the experienced design team at Blind Ambitions can help.
Why Large Windows Need Specialized Treatments
Large windows often require specialized treatments due to the fact that they're non-standard. Whether it's their shape, size, or both that set your large windows apart, here are some important considerations to keep in mind as you explore possible window treatment solutions:
-
Size and Weight Limits - Custom sizing is usually a given when it comes to oversized window treatments, but it's also essential to be aware of the fact that bigger-than-normal coverings may sag, bow, or even break under their own weight if they're not properly designed and of excellent quality.
-
Privacy and Light Control - Uncovered large windows may let in more sunlight than you want and can make you feel exposed as you live your life. Specialized treatments can help diffuse sunlight at any time of day and afford you a sense of privacy when you want it.
-
Energy Efficiency - Large windows can act like a greenhouse in warm weather and be a significant source of heat loss during the winter months. Installing specialized window treatments can help to improve your home's energy efficiency year-round.
-
UV Protection - Oversized windows also mean a lot more sun exposure to precious artwork, hardwood flooring, and furniture. You want to help to cut that UV exposure to protect these investments.
Ease of Operation - Large window coverings can be heavy, awkward, and unwieldy to manage manually - especially multiple times per day. Specialized automation solutions customized to the routines and layout of your household are often a game-changer.

FAQ
What size is considered an oversized window?
The term "oversized window" can be applied to any window that measures taller or wider than the standard size of window coverings produced by window covering manufacturers. While there's no universal standard for oversized window measurements, windows that exceed 8 feet (about 2.4 metres) in width or height can generally be considered oversized.
If you're not sure whether your windows are considered standard or oversized, the knowledgeable team at Blind Ambitions is here to help.
Do standard blinds and shades work on large windows?
Standard blinds can work on some large windows - but it depends on how large the window is and what type of window treatment you're considering. For oversized windows, standard window coverings may not cover the full opening or may sag in the middle, even if they do. Our experienced design team can assist you in determining whether standard window treatments are the right fit for your large windows - and suggest custom solutions to meet your needs if not.
Can oversized window treatments be motorized or automated?
Yes, many of our clients opt for motorized or automated treatments on oversized windows because large window coverings can be challenging to reach and maneuver by hand. Add a touch of luxury, elegance, and convenience to your home with oversized window coverings controlled by wand, by voice, or even by an app on your phone.
