You’ve bought the house and love the views. But soon you realise the sunny glare is too much and you need blinds… Blinds, that is, for odd shaped sized windows. No problem, blinds for unusual shaped windows are our speciality… 

What are the best blinds for small & narrow windows?

For many blinds companies, how to cover a small window is a challenge. We often find small awkwardly shaped windows in conservatories and garden rooms we are working on. Other blind companies tend to leave these uncovered, but we prefer to make blinds for small windows a feature of the room rather than an afterthought. 

Whether it’s blinds for narrow windows, blinds for short windows, or even blinds for tiny windows, fabric choice comes first. When choosing, think about performance and density as well as pattern and colour. Some blind fabrics for example are effective at reducing glare, heat and cold – without darkening. 

How to cover odd shaped windows?

We’ve been developing solutions on how to cover irregular shaped windows for over 30 years. In fact you could say that figuring out how to dress odd shaped windows is in our DNA. Over the years, as our sales consultants were given more and more challenging briefs, our R&D team developed components such as our unique rails that allow us to create blinds for odd shaped windows, and fit blinds into tight angles, tiny shapes or blinds for diamond shaped windows. Whatever the shape and size, our craftspeople can create custom blinds for you, including motorised blinds for odd shaped windows and vertical blinds for odd shaped windows.

What are the best blinds for triangular windows?

Triangular shaped windows, also known as gable or apex windows, are an increasingly popular choice in homes around the UK. Although a great way for natural light to flood into a home, they can sometimes cause issues with unwanted glare, temperature control and privacy. In these situations, how to cover a triangular window can be a challenge.

This was the case with a recent installation where a customer wanted blinds for triangular shaped windows in their bedroom. The windows were big and because of the large amount of glazing, the sun woke them up early in the morning. We have specially designed blinds for triangular shaped windows to tackle this kind of problem head-on. Our blinds are fitted with our exclusive puresystem™ components  into the recess of the window frame, while fabrics options include Duette®, pleated honeycomb and pinoleum.
