Shades for Picture Windows

While energy efficiency may be a concern with any window, it can be more of an issue with a picture window, due to its size. A large picture window can be a conduit for heat on sunny days and cold air on chilly ones.

For enhanced energy efficiency, nothing beats cellular shades. Designed for year-round comfort, the unique honeycomb design of cellular shades traps air in distinct pockets, for an extra layer of insulation.

You don’t need to sacrifice style when it comes to energy-efficiency, either. Duette^® Honeycomb Shades, which provide superior energy efficiency, are available in a luxurious, high quality selection of fabrics, as well as three pleat sizes. And in addition to being extremely energy-efficiency, Duette shades also beautifully diffuse natural light.

Drapery for Picture Windows

Drapery, will its long, flowing fabric, is also an option for framing a picture window. Just keep in mind that drapery may take up more room on each side of the window when fully opened (called the “stack” or “stack back”) than a blind or shade may do.

The amount of stack back on each side also varies depending on whether you opt to have drapery open to the left or right, or from the middle. Also keep in mind that the thicker the fabric, the greater the stack back.
