Arched, angled or odd-shaped windows? We will look at the window and tell you honestly whether shutters will work.
Shutters for windows that are not square
Not every window is a neat rectangle. Arched tops, angled gables, triangles and circular windows are common in loft conversions, stairwells and older houses, and they are often the windows people find hardest to dress. Shutters can be made to follow some of these shapes, but what is possible depends on the shape and the make, so the first step is a proper look at the window.
Common shaped windows
- Arched windows. A fixed or shaped panel can follow the curve.
- Gable and triangular windows. See also our guide to blinds for gable-end and triangular windows.
- Angled and sloping windows. Pleated blinds are one alternative.
- Circular and porthole windows. These need a template and a careful measure.
