Homes with angled windows (like hexagons, trapezoids, triangles, or sloped windows) enjoy architectural interest and eye-catching views. However, those windows can be a bit daunting to cover because they aren’t the traditional rectangle or square shape most people are accustomed to dealing with. Certainly, no off-the-shelf solution will do it; to get the right fit and look for their angled windows, those homeowners should turn to the pros. At Window Treats serving Monmouth Beach, we have a number of suggestions and solutions to common problems. Check some of them out below!
Direct Sunlight
Windows that have lots of direct sun exposure can be good for brightening a room and adding cozy heat in the winter, but they can also bring in harmful UV rays and (yuck) heat in the summer. One solution is Duette® Cellular Shades, an energy-efficient option that is aces with light control. This shade is designed with honeycomb-shaped pockets that trap air at the window, creating a layer of insulation. You can find Duette in a large assortment of fabrics and colors, in three different pleat sizes. These shades can be cut to fit your angled window and help increase its functionality in the room.
Floor-to-Ceiling Angled Windows
Homes with windows that angle up to the roof peak are charming and visually interesting both inside and out. However, those windows can present covering challenges. But the right treatment can help reduce incoming sunlight, UV rays, and heat. Options from Hunter Douglas include Somner® Custom Vertical Blinds and Vertical Solutions® Blinds. Each is available in a variety of materials as well as opacities and can cover large expanses of angled windows. Plus, they’ll give you excellent privacy and light control through their rotating vanes.
Classic Styling
Homeowners who follow classic or traditional style will likely appreciate the elegance that shutters can bring to a room. If you prefer genuine wood, Heritance® Hardwood Shutters can breathe natural beauty into any space. For a product that brings the look of genuine wood with the durability of faux materials, NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters can be the best complement to your style. They’re easy to care for, and they withstand direct light and heat without cracking, fading, or bowing. If your angled window is in a humid room (like a bathroom or kitchen), check out Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters, which can resist warping, chipping, and peeling. No matter your final goal, be sure to speak with one of our representatives to determine which product is right for your space and needs.
