Roof and gable
Gable blinds
Blinds cut to the exact shape of a gable window, motorised for hard-to-reach glass.
Blinds made for gable windows
A gable window can be a stunning feature in a home, although its angles mean that an ordinary blind may not be suitable. We'd be happy to take a look at the shape and talk you through specialist options.
A gable window is the large, often triangular or angled window in the end wall of a house or extension. It catches a lot of sun and a lot of attention, and a standard blind will not usually fit it. Gable blinds are made to the exact shape and size of the glass, in pleated or cellular fabric.
Three styles
- Framed free-hanging: the popular choice. The blind opens upwards into a fascia, so there are no visible cords.
- Frameless free-hanging: for windows where there is no room for a frame.
- Bottom-up: the blind stacks at the bottom and rises to close, which suits windows where you want to keep the view from above.
Frames, fitting and control
Frames come in white, brown or anthracite, and other colours can be matched to your window frames. A gable blind can usually fit into the window bead without drilling, or be fixed in the recess when that suits the window better. Because gable windows are high and awkward to reach, these blinds are motorised, on mains or battery power, with a solar charger as an option. Control is by remote, and by app or voice through compatible smart-home systems. See our page on motorised blinds.
