The Easy Guide to finding the best blinds for angled windows. We’ve got it covered for you!
Can You Fit Blinds Into Angled Windows?
Yes! Specialist Blinds was founded over 25 years ago to make conservatory and garden room blinds, but our customers quickly started asking us for help and advice on blinds for angled windows. The solution, however, isn’t simple and required our R&D team to develop new processes and components that enabled us to fix our blinds on angled windows.
How Do You Cover Angled Windows?
At Specialist Blinds, it all starts with a consultation with one of our sales specialists. While we are happy to have an initial call on the phone, we really need to see what the window looks like to start working through the problem. The first question we always get is: “How do you measure blinds for angled windows?”. We actually measure twice! Our sales consultant will do an initial measure up of the space, but once a contract is signed, we send one of our specialist installers in to take precise measurements—which is why every blind we make is custom made.
Our blinds on angled windows fit corner-to-corner and are designed to retract as neatly as possible, with few visible cords or wires. Additionally, they are barely visible at the edge of the window when fully raised to keep your view, a real view. Other blinds can often leave a gap as they can’t fit a small enough triangular blind into the corner of the angle. Our Pure™ components which are exclusive to Specialist Blinds make it easy to fit small blinds into tight corners.
What Are The Best Blinds For Angled Windows?
The best blinds for angled windows depends on your personal taste, the size of the blind and the type of privacy you require and your desire for temperature control. There is no question these are a lot of issues to consider, blind making is not one size fits all, but we are happy to help. Our sales consultants always bring a complete kit with them to walk you through how the fittings and components work and how the blinds will rise and fall. This is especially important for blinds on angled windows. So whether you want to know about roller blinds for angled windows, blackout blinds for angled windows, or anything else, our consultants will talk you through it.
Case Study: Blinds For Angled Windows In Dorset
A customer in Dorset recently approached us about an unusual window in their bedroom. The glazing had a variety of shapes and angles as well as a window that needed to open and close, adding to these challenges, the glazing fit almost from floor to ceiling. The biggest challenge? Because their bedroom was at the front of the house, they needed privacy. This is where Specialist Blinds came in.

As Experts In Modern Blind Technology, we have been making conservatory roofs and gable-end conservatories, we soon learnt that we could adapt our expertise to more unusual windows and developed our Pure™ blinds technology which enables us to develop bespoke solutions like this. In this case, the new blind successfully covers the entire angled window and the glass below with just one blind.
This customer opted for our popular Duette® Thermal Blinds, a good fabric choice as it provides an extra degree of insulation for excellent temperature control, keeping your home cool in the summer and retaining heat in the summer. The colour? Anthracite to match their window frames.
As with most of our blinds, there was an option to install automated blinds or smart blinds, which offer the ability to control blinds from outside the home or even via voice. This customer chose to connect their electric blinds to a remote control which operates with the click of a button.
Before and After Fitting Bespoke Blinds for Angled Windows
It can be difficult to successfully cover all the glazed areas of a window structure such as this. The before photographs show the original shelf bought blinds — not fitted by Specialist Blinds which fall short of covering the entire area of the angled windows. They compromise the overall aesthetic as well as not providing adequate shade or privacy. The after pictures show our custom solution using one angled blind for both panes of glass across.
