Floor-to-ceiling windows make a bold statement—and in cities like Hoboken, where views of the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River are part of the appeal, it’s no surprise that expansive glass walls are in high demand. But when it comes to function, privacy, and energy efficiency, those same windows require smart, stylish solutions.
At The Shade Place, we specialize in custom window treatments for large and oversized windows, helping homeowners in Hoboken and beyond enjoy the best of both worlds: uninterrupted views and elevated comfort.
Here’s what to consider when shading your glass walls.
Why Oversized Windows Need Custom Solutions
Large expanses of glass present a few unique challenges:
- Sun Glare and Heat Gain: South- and west-facing windows can flood a room with harsh sunlight, making spaces uncomfortable or fading furnishings over time.
- Privacy Concerns: City living means neighbors—and pedestrians—may have a direct line of sight into your home.
- Difficult Operation: Standard shades aren’t designed to cover wide windows efficiently or safely.
That’s why custom-designed, professionally installed window treatments are essential for floor-to-ceiling or panoramic glass installations.
Best Shade Options for Glass Walls and Large Windows
At The Shade Place, we offer a curated selection of Hunter Douglas window treatments designed specifically for large-scale applications:
1. Designer Screen Shades
Perfect for preserving your view while cutting glare and UV rays. Available in a variety of openness levels, they soften harsh light without making your room feel closed off.
2. Skyline® Gliding Window Panels
A contemporary solution for wide windows or sliding glass doors. These sleek vertical panels stack tightly when open and glide effortlessly closed—ideal for a Hoboken loft or waterfront condo.
3. PowerView® Automation
Oversized shades can be difficult to operate manually. With PowerView®, your shades move automatically on your schedule—or at your command. Control them via app, remote, or voice assistant for effortless living.
