Blinds and Shades for Arched and Specialty Windows

Blinds and Shades for Arched and Specialty Windows

Arched, half-round, and angled windows are a beautiful architectural feature, but they leave a lot of homeowners wondering how on earth to cover them. The answer is custom-made specialty coverings built to the exact shape of your window. Here is what is possible.

Why specialty windows need custom solutions

You cannot buy an arched or angled covering off the shelf, because every specialty window is a slightly different shape and size. These openings require custom fabrication built to precise measurements and, often, a template of the exact curve or angle. That is the only way to get a covering that fits the shape cleanly with no awkward gaps.

Sunburst and custom-shaped shutters

For arched and half-round windows, custom shutters are a stunning option. A sunburst shutter fans out from the center of the arch and becomes a real architectural feature in its own right. Fixed and operable versions are available depending on whether you need light control or just want the finished look.

Custom cellular and pleated arches

Cellular and pleated shades can be built as fixed arch pieces that match the shades on the rest of the window, so everything coordinates. These add insulation and soften the light while respecting the shape. For angled and geometric windows, custom-cut cellular shades can follow a slope or angle for a clean, tailored result.

Fixed vs. operable

Many specialty coverings are fixed, meaning they stay in place and filter light rather than raising and lowering. Since arched and high specialty windows are often above eye level and mainly there for architecture and daylight, a fixed covering that cuts glare and UV is usually all you need, and it keeps the look elegant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you cover an arched or half-round window?

Yes. Arched and half-round windows are covered with custom-made pieces built to the exact shape, such as sunburst shutters or custom cellular arches. We measure and template each one precisely.

Do arched window coverings open and close?

Some do and some are fixed. Because arched and specialty windows are often high and above eye level, a fixed covering that filters light and blocks UV is usually all you need, though operable options exist.

What is a sunburst shutter?

A sunburst shutter is a custom shutter for an arched or half-round window whose louvers fan out from the center like rays. It fits the arch perfectly and becomes a beautiful architectural feature.
