Finding Window Treatments for Angled Windows
In many newer builds—and in some older ones as well—the architects added angled windows for a visually pleasing, interesting element to the home. And they’re lovely. But they can seem difficult to cover. At Altra Home Décor serving the greater Phoenix area, we understand some of the hesitations around finding treatments for angled windows, and we have some thoughts about potential solutions. Check them out below!
Window Shades and Direct Sunlight
Windows that get lots of direct sunlight (usually if they face south, east, or west) can allow in too much additional heat and the threat of the damage UV rays can bring. You can combat both of those issues with an energy-efficient option like Duette® Cellular Shades. These beauties are crafted with honeycomb-shaped pockets that trap air at the window, creating a layer of insulation so that outside heat stays out and. You can find Duette shades in a number of fabrics and colors, in three different pleat sizes. They can be cut to fit your angled window and help increase its functionality in the room.
A Traditional Look for Your Home
Shutters can bring a sense of elegance to a space and particularly complement traditional or classic styles. They’re easy to care for, and they offer clean lines and a sophisticated aesthetic. If you prefer genuine wood, consider Heritance® Hardwood Shutters, which are particularly good for home offices, living rooms, and any other room with an angled window. NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters look like genuine wood but are designed with the durability of faux materials. They’re easy to maintain (just wipe with a soft cloth or use your brush attachment on your vacuum), and they withstand direct light and heat without cracking, fading, or bowing. If your angled window is in a humid room like a bathroom, look at Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters, which are designed to withstand moisture.
Operating Systems
One of the most overlooked options when selecting window treatments is the operating systems. If your windows are high and hard to reach, consider PowerView® Motorization. If you have children or just don’t like the look of cords, consider LiteRise®. We have a wide variety of operating choices for you to select from.
