Apex windows, with their striking triangular shapes, bring a unique architectural charm to homes, offices and public buildings alike. However, their unconventional pointed design often poses challenges when it comes to finding the right shading solution. At Specialist Blinds, we’ve dedicated 30 years to mastering the art of crafting custom-made blinds that seamlessly fit these distinctive windows, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Offering Tailored Solutions for Every Apex Design
Our expertise lies in designing blinds for apex windows that cater to the specific needs of each space. Whether it’s a grand floor-to-ceiling feature wall or a modest gable end window in your extension, our triangular apex window blinds are always custom-crafted to ensure a perfect fit.
Take a recent project in Warwickshire: we installed bespoke blinds across two floors of floor-to-ceiling windows wrapping around a staircase. The homeowner was so impressed with the results that they requested matching blinds for their bedroom, highlighting the versatility and appeal of our designs.
Innovative Design with pure Aspect™ Technology
Our proprietary pure aspect™ gable blind system is at the heart of our apex window solutions. This exclusive technology allows us to create blinds for apex-shaped windows that extend seamlessly from the triangular apex down to the rectangular sections below. The result is a clean, unobtrusive look that complements the window’s architecture.
Equally, by minimising the number of blinds required, we ensure a sleek appearance without compromising on functionality. This approach is particularly beneficial for large installations, where maintaining a cohesive look is paramount.
“Our research and development team, based in our factory in Ashford, Kent, have spent 20 years perfecting our solution for apex blinds.”

Realism: Cost Considerations

When considering apex window blinds cost, several factors come into play, including window size, chosen materials, and operation type. While bespoke solutions may represent a higher initial investment, the long-term benefits in terms of aesthetics, functionality, and energy efficiency often outweigh the costs.

Specialist Blinds Case Study:
The Problem: Too Much Glare In The Morning
A customer in Farnham, Surrey had barn conversion with beautiful views of the countryside… and a large area of glazing in their bedroom. The windows themselves were very large and included a big triangular apex at the top. The window was stunning but the customer suffered from intense glare from the bright sunshine and this woke them up most mornings. They also wanted a little more privacy.
The Solution: Two Large Gable Blinds
We recommended two large puresystem™ gable blinds for the apex window in Duette®. Originally designed for gables in conservatories, gable blinds are perfect for large apex windows. We were able to cover the entire area with just two blinds which retracted into a small fabric stack that didn’t obstruct the view. We also colour matched the components of the blinds using our in-house RAL colour powder-coating room to match the window frames.
