Treatments for Angled Windows

If you have angled windows in your home (like triangles, hexagons, trapezoids, or sloped windows), you know how visually interesting they can be. And you probably understand how daunting they might seem to cover—to the point where it’s tempting to leave them bare. But at Windows, Walls & More serving West Bloomfield, we advise that you consider covering them just as you would a regular window for all the same reasons. Read on for information about some common goals for homeowners who have angled windows.

Beat the Heat (and the Rays)

Any window that is directly in the face of the sun (hello, south-facing windows—or even east- or west-facing ones!) can impact your home’s interior because that window—no matter its shape—can bring in damaging UV rays and additional heat. To address both of those issues, consider choosing an energy-efficient window treatment like Duette® Cellular Shades. This product is designed with honeycomb-shaped pockets that trap air at the window, creating a layer of insulation. Plus, they offer excellent UV protection. These shades can be cut to fit your angled window and help increase its functionality in the room.

For an A-Frame House

A-frame houses can offer lots of charm, especially as a getaway in the woods. However, their floor-to-ceiling angled windows might seem nearly impossible to cover. However, to help reduce the drawbacks of incoming sunlight, including UV rays and heat, it’s important to find the right treatment. One way to balance your home’s architectural interest with reducing problematic issues is choosing vertical blinds. Somner® Custom Vertical Blinds and Vertical Solutions® Blinds are each available in a variety of materials as well as opacities and can cover the large expanse of angled windows. Plus, they’ll give you versatile privacy and light control through their rotating vanes.

Bring the Classic Aesthetics

To match or complement a traditional or classic style, shutters are an excellent choice because they’ll add elegance that’s easy to maintain. Heritance® Hardwood Shutters are made with genuine wood, so they’ll breathe natural beauty into any space. NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters are made with exceptionally durable faux materials while offering the look of genuine wood. They’re easy to care for, and they withstand direct light and heat without cracking, fading, or bowing. For windows in a humid room, check out Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters, which are designed to resist warping, chipping, and peeling. No matter your final goal, be sure to speak with one of our specialists to determine which product is right for you.
