Treatment Options for Picturesque Windows
Windows are the way we enjoy nature while safe and secure in our home. While we are protected from the elements like heat and wind, we can still bask in the sunlight and look out over gorgeous views while we dream of days to come. But we also have a need to balance this light control and access to the outside with our desire for privacy. However, this can seem a little daunting when it comes to large windows and sliding doors. While the light and view offered by these picturesque windows can be breathtaking, it can be hard to find the right window treatments that let us both enjoy the benefits of a large window while still maintaining our privacy when we need to. Design 5 LTD can help with your window treatment options for picturesque windows such as gliding window panels and sheers to maximize your view.
One of the biggest barriers to covering larger windows is often the visual appeal of the window treatment. While your view might be amazing with the window uncovered, you also need a window treatment that is equally impressive. A picture window can be a statement feature, so the window treatment you use needs to complement that same design. Skyline® Gliding Window Panels are the perfect backdrop for your well-designed interior. While these panels can be used for smaller windows, they were designed specifically with large windows in mind.
Made of an expanse of broad panels, this window treatment makes a statement all on its own. On the other hand, they offer subtlety in design when you want your spectacular view to make the statement. You can enjoy an unobstructed view as these panels stack tightly when open. When they are closed, you can experience the high-quality design of your preferred fabric from the extensive collection that offers an assortment of textures, colors, and opacities. In fact, this product boasts the largest fabric collection on the market. As an added benefit, these panels can double as room dividers, offering privacy without marring the aesthetic of your home.
While these panels do stack tightly when open, others tend to prefer more familiar window treatment options for sliding glass doors. Since you need to open the door as needed, some people prefer more fluid window treatments. Unfortunately, some options tend to be a hassle as they sway around and even make noise on occasion. With modern sheers, you can enjoy the seamless appearance of a single fabric panel while taking advantage of advanced light control options.
Luminette® Privacy Sheers feature a front panel of sheer fabric with vertical fabric vanes attached to the back. This means that you can open and close the sheers as needed for completely unobstructed views, or you can rotate the fabric vanes to let light filter in, diffusing softly through the sheer fabric. The movement of these shadings along a horizontal track makes them ideal for sliding glass doors since you can still easily access the door as needed. An added benefit of this SofTrak™ system is that the hardware is concealed when your sheers are closed. If you also love the style of these sheers and want to coordinate your interior design, you can get extra fabric by the yard for decorative accents.
With treatment options for picturesque windows from Design 5 LTD, you can enjoy spectacular views while still protecting your privacy. Located in Honolulu, Hawaii, we serve the entirety of Oahu. Contact us today for a consultation!
