Our Home Series: Selecting Blinds for Angled Windows
Angled windows, like triangles, arches, and trapezoids, bring character and light into a home but have unique covering challenges. At Custom Window Coverings, we specialize in providing custom Hunter Douglas window treatments near Temecula, California, for even the trickiest angles. Explore what to consider when selecting blinds for angled windows and why custom design makes all the difference.
Why Are Angled Windows Difficult to Dress?
Because they reach a peak, they don't conform to the standard shape. If you purchase standard blinds, the top of your window will be exposed. This will let sunlight through, cause glare, and hide the beauty of your window. Here are some reasons you need custom blinds for angled windows.
- Shape & slope: Traditional blinds don’t fit unusual geometry; angles require custom measurements and headrail adaptations.
- Light & privacy balance: Sunlight hits at different intensities depending on orientation, especially in sunny Southern California.
- Accessibility: High or vaulted windows often demand convenient operation, like automated window treatments; manual cords won't cut it.
- Aesthetic integration: Custom window treatments enhance the architectural beauty rather than hide it.
Hunter Douglas crafts motorized blinds for angled windows that highlight the beauty of your angled windows and improve their functionality.
Best Hunter Douglas Blinds for Angled Windows
Our Hunter Douglas blinds are fitted precisely to your window. Our installers take custom measurements for each window, measuring them twice to ensure accuracy, and then make them to the correct size. This allows you to operate them, even at the top of the window, so you can get the light balance you prefer from top to bottom. You can also customize them by selecting from over 50 paint and stain colors and the slat width.
The best blinds for angled windows are:
- Parkland® Wood Blinds are crafted from 100% hardwood that comes from responsibly managed forests. They're durable, and the natural grains shine through.
- EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds blend natural wood with composite materials to create a stronger, more durable blind that resists fading, bending, and warping. They're also water-resistant.
Why Choose Motorized Blinds for Angled Windows?
Motorized blinds make operating your angled windows easier and more efficient. Since they're often high, it can be challenging to get the right angle to reduce glare, but with Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, you can find your favorite settings with a remote, your phone, or your voice. You can also create a schedule that allows it to do whatever you need, whether you’re home or not.
Motorization will tilt the slats on your blinds so you can let light come through at the angle you like, but it will not raise or lower them.
