Window Treatments for High Windows in Bakersfield

October 10, 2016

Several homes in Bakersfield have that one window or group of windows that sits high up on the wall close to the ceiling, or is so large that it may be out of arm’s length. While these windows are distinctive and beautiful, they may cause stress when shopping for high ceiling window treatments.

But there’s no need to fret - there’s no window Sunburst Shutters Bakersfield has encountered that wasn’t gorgeous by the time we were through with it. Let’s take a look at a few of the best options for window coverings for the tall windows in your Bakersfield house.

Tall Window Plantation Shutters

On the matter of high ceiling windows, the less hassle, the better. That’s why plantation shutters should be one of your primary picks for those windows. Most times the first question about window treatments for a high-sitting window is “How do you operate it?” If you choose shutters, that’s rarely a concern, as it’s typical to have the louvers set at a single, specific angle all the time, so they can let in the perfect amount of light while at the same time protecting your privacy.

If periodic louver adjustment is needed, there’s no need to get out the stepladder. We’ll give you an adjustable pole to tweak the tilt rod, giving you total control over the lighting. And once finished, the pole collapses for easy storage until the time comes to adjust the shutters again.

An additional headache which can come with high ceiling window treatments is when it comes time to clean, another area in which plantation shutters shine. Due to their color, the angled construction, and material, Polywood® plantation shutters don’t need to be cleaned as often as other window treatments. And when you do need to clean, the louvers and frame can be cleaned with a simple duster, without having to move the shutters.

All of these features, coupled with plantation shutters’ unmatched energy efficiency, make shutters a superb fit for high windows.
