What are the best window treatments for high windows?

High windows can be a stunning architectural feature, flooding your space with natural light and creating a sense of grandeur. However, treating these lofty windows can present a unique set of challenges. From accessibility issues to design considerations, finding the perfect window treatments for high windows requires careful planning and creative solutions.

1. Convenience at your fingertips with motorised blinds

One of the biggest challenges with high windows is accessibility. Motorised blinds offer a practical and stylish solution, allowing you to effortlessly control your window treatments with the touch of a button or a smartphone app.

Programme your motorised blinds to open and close automatically at certain times of the day, maximising natural light while helping to reduce energy costs.

2. Create effortless elegance with SmartDrape

Embrace the height of your windows and create a sense of drama and style with SmartDrape shades. These elegant shades are constructed from a series of individual fabric vanes suspended in a sheer to create a floating effect. SmartDrape can be made up to 3048mm tall to create a dramatic ceiling-to-floor look.

3. Choose Thermacell Honeycomb Blinds for a modern look

Thermacell Blinds are an excellent choice for high windows, offering a modern aesthetic that’s also energy efficient. The unique cellular structure of these honeycomb shades traps air within the cells, providing an extra layer of insulation that helps regulate the temperature in your home. This feature is particularly beneficial for high windows, which are often more exposed to direct sunlight.

We can also motorise Thermacell Blinds, making them perfect for hard-to-reach high windows, eliminating the need for manual adjustments and making it easier to maintain the perfect level of light control and privacy throughout the day.

4. Control your glare with Soluna Roller Blinds

Choose Soluna Roller Blinds with a solar screen for high windows to achieve effective glare control, UV protection, and heat reduction without blocking natural light. Their sleek, lightweight design allows for easy operation, especially when paired with motorisation for added convenience.

Solar screens help maintain your view while reducing heat gain, making them a practical and stylish solution for high windows.

5. Timeless style and practicality with interior shutters

Custom-made shutters are a timeless choice for high windows, offering a clean, streamlined appearance that works well with a variety of architectural styles.

Opt for full-height shutters to emphasise the grandeur of your windows or consider café-style shutters that cover only the lower portion for a more relaxed feel.

Motorisation can also be incorporated into custom shutters, making them easy to adjust as needed.
