Privacy with large window

13 years ago

We recently moved into a new house. Above the front door is a large arched window. We love the amount of light it lets in, but we have some privacy concerns. At night anyone on the street is able to see directly into our house. Does anyone have any experience with this? What are my options?

Fenstermann provides custom shade solutions from Germany. We specialize in special shape windows like this. I suggest you use a translucent shade system. This will allow the light in and give you the privacy you are looking for.

Here is a picture showing a half arch shade. We have over 400 different fabrics that will suit any style you want.
