Have Large Windows to Cover Up?

AIM offers a variety of window treatments that can improve your home while meeting these needs. Here are some effective options:
Light Control: Large windows let in a lot of light. AIM’s window treatments let you control this light, from softening it with light-filtering shades to blocking it completely with blackout options.
Privacy: If your large windows face the street or neighbors, privacy is important. Our window treatments offer different levels of privacy, like privacy sheers or vertical shades, so you can feel secure.

Privacy Sheers
Privacy sheers combine the softness of sheer curtains with the functionality of vertical blinds. They filter light while providing privacy, making them great for large windows in bedrooms or any room where you want a balance of light and privacy.
In addition to privacy sheers, consider using roman shades as a visual barrier to increase privacy without decreasing natural light. Roman shades allow you to control the amount of light based on the opacity of the material selected.
