Angled windows are a beautiful architectural feature in many contemporary homes, but they present unique challenges for window treatments. How do you manage privacy and light control while maintaining energy efficiency? Let’s explore the best blinds and shades for angled windows, ensuring your home stays comfortable and stylish.
Cellular Shades for Energy Efficiency
If you have angled windows that let in a lot of direct light, like east- or west-facing windows, cellular shades are a smart option. Duette® Honeycomb Shades are designed to trap air in distinct pockets, insulating your windows and helping you save on energy costs. These shades keep the heat out in the summer and help retain warmth in the winter. For even greater energy efficiency, consider Duette Architella® Honeycomb Shades with their unique cell-within-a-cell construction.
Duette shades come in a wide array of high-performing fabrics, available in neutral tones and vibrant colors, and three different pleat sizes. They add a modern touch to any window in your home.
Vertical Blinds for Large Angled Windows
Covering large, floor-to-ceiling angled windows, like those in an A-frame house, can be daunting. However, Somner® Custom Vertical Blinds and Vertical Solutions® Blinds are excellent choices for these expansive, sloped windows. Available in fabric, vinyl, and aluminum, these blinds offer several opacity options to control how much light enters your home. Their rotating vanes provide versatile light control and privacy.
Shutters for a Classic Look
Shutters give your home a classic, elegant feel. Hunter Douglas offers several custom shutter designs that are easy to clean, provide variable light control and privacy, offer insulation, and can easily cover angled windows.
NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters blend the beautiful look of genuine hardwood with the strength of advanced materials, perfect for covering angled, extended angle, and two-panel angle top windows.
For hot, humid climates, or for angled windows in rooms like bathrooms or laundry rooms, Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters are an ideal choice. The Polysatin material is UV-resistant and prevents warping, cracking, chipping, and peeling.
If you prefer the warmth of real hardwood, Heritance® Hardwood Shutters made with 100% basswood or poplar hardwood offer premium natural beauty, making them perfect for living spaces or home offices.
