Shades for Tall & Two-Story Windows in Columbus, OH
Great rooms, stairwells, and two-story foyers bring in beautiful light, and more heat and glare than any other windows in the house. The trick is controlling them without a ladder.
Tall windows are where measuring and installing right matters most: long drops, big spans, and angled tops. The owner measures every window and does every install, ladder work included.

Common questions
Tall window questions we get asked
How do you operate shades on a two-story window?
Motorization is the usual answer. A remote, wall switch, phone app, voice assistant, or schedule raises and lowers the shade, so nobody needs a ladder or a long wand.
What about angled or triangle windows at the top?
Angled tops can be covered with fixed shades made to the exact shape. InsolRoll makes fixed triangle and trapezoid shades that block sun and glare while you still see through the fabric, and Norman shutters can be built to arches and angles.
Will shades on tall windows help with heat?
Yes. Tall south and west windows let in a lot of afternoon heat. Solar shades, cellular shades, or a scheduled motorized shade that lowers before the sun hits can make a big difference in comfort.
How much do shades for tall windows cost?
Price depends on the size of each window, the product, and the motor and power option. Every window is measured in person during a free consultation, and you get a written, firm quote.
