Reach New Heights with High Ceiling Window Shades & Blinds
High ceilings and expansive windows are standout features of mountain homes in Boone and Blowing Rock. However, their impressive height brings a unique challenge: managing light and privacy when the glass is 10 or 15 feet above the floor. Uncovered out-of-reach windows can result in faded flooring, excessive summer heat gain, and reduced privacy at night, impacting both your comfort and the lifespan of your floors and furnishings.
Appalachian Blind & Closet Co. offers practical solutions and professional installation for your home's most challenging windows. The right window treatments provide privacy for stairwell windows, improve comfort and energy efficiency for picture windows, and make it easy to control high, hard-to-reach shades with motorization. Our team can help you select custom window coverings that fit your space, style, and daily life.
Improving Privacy for Your Stairwell Window
Stairwell windows often give neighbors a direct line of sight right into your home. While natural light helps keep the stairs from feeling like a dark tunnel, you don't want to feel exposed. Light-filtering roller shades act as a screen, turning harsh, direct sun into a soft glow that keeps the path well-lit without exposing your interiors to the outside world. Choose a shade fabric with the right opacity to block your neighbors’ view while letting in plenty of light to keep your stairs bright and safe.
Window Treatments for Large Picture Windows
Large picture windows offer incredible sights of the Blue Ridge Mountains, but they can make a room feel a bit exposed and much colder. Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds use insulating or opaque fabrics to help maintain a consistent indoor temperature, keeping rooms warmer in winter and cooler in summer. These blinds also stack tightly when open, giving you an unobstructed view of the ridgeline.
Floor-to-ceiling glass calls for a treatment that handles privacy and light without sacrificing either. Luminette® Sheer Panels rotate fabric vanes to block outside views on demand, while the sheer backing filters sunlight into a soft, diffused glow rather than cutting it out entirely. The result is a room that stays private and comfortable without feeling closed off.
Experience the Luxury and Safety of Motorized High Ceiling Window Shades
Reaching high stairwell windows usually requires a ladder, which is both a hassle and a safety risk. PowerView® Automation solves this by letting you adjust your shades from an app or a remote. You can even set them on a schedule, so they close automatically when the sun is at its peak. Motorized window shades aren’t just convenient; they also keep your house cooler and protect your furniture from UV fading.
