Large windows and sliding stacker doors are architectural showstoppers they flood your home with natural light and blur the boundary between indoor and outdoor living. But they also come with unique challenges: privacy, glare, heat gain, and finding window coverings that don’t look awkward or overwhelm the space.
At Delux Blinds, we specialise in custom-made window furnishings designed to handle exactly these challenges. Here are the best solutions for dressing large windows and stacker doors beautifully and practically.
1. Vertical Blinds — Timeless, Practical, Affordable
Vertical blinds have been a staple for sliding doors and large windows for decades. Individual louvres rotate to control light direction and privacy while the entire set draws back to allow full access to your door opening.
Modern vertical blinds have come a long way from the clunky plastic versions of the past. Today’s options include:
Fabric louvres in linen, voile, and textured weaves
S-curved louvres for a soft, contemporary profile
Motorisation for effortless hands-free control
For large windows exceeding 3 metres in width, vertical blinds remain one of the most cost-effective solutions without compromising on style.
2. Roller Blinds with Dual Systems — Light Filtering + Blockout
For large fixed windows, a dual roller blind system gives you the best of both worlds. A sheer or sunscreen fabric handles daytime privacy and glare, while a second blockout blind drops down when you need to sleep or watch a screen in full darkness.
Dual roller systems are especially popular in:
- Bedrooms with floor-to-ceiling glazing
- Home theatres with large picture windows
- Open-plan living areas facing west
- At Delux Blinds, we custom-cut every roller blind to your exact window width, ensuring a precise, professional fit critical on windows where even a centimetre gap looks sloppy.
3. Motorised Blinds — The Smart Solution for Hard-to-Reach Windows
When windows are tall, wide, or above eye level, manual operation becomes impractical and potentially dangerous if you’re using a step ladder daily. Motorised blinds solve this completely.
With a Somfy or Rollease Acmeda motor system, you can:
Control blinds via remote, smartphone app, or voice assistant
Program open/close times to automate your home
Group multiple blinds across a large glazed wall and control them simultaneously
Motorisation is no longer a luxury it’s a practical necessity for architectural homes with expansive glazing.
4. Plantation Shutters for Statement Windows
For feature windows arched, bay, or oversized square panes plantation shutters offer a structural, design-forward solution. Custom-built to fit non-standard shapes, shutters add permanent value to your home and require minimal maintenance.
They’re particularly effective on large street-facing windows where you want privacy without blocking airflow, thanks to their adjustable louvres.
Getting the Right Fit Matters Most
No matter which window covering you choose, fit is everything on large windows and stacker doors. Gaps, sagging, or panels that don’t stack cleanly are immediately noticeable. That’s why a professional measure and quote is essential.
