Finding Treatments for Angled Windows
Angled windows (such as hexagons, triangles, and trapezoids) are visually interesting and bring style to a room, but they can seem difficult to cover. In fact, homeowners are frequently tempted to leave them uncovered entirely; however, for a variety of reasons (not the least of them being that the brutal Colorado sun could cause some severe damage through them), that might be ill-advised. At Bretz Interiors serving the greater Denver area, we have a number of treatment options that can make covering your angled windows a breeze. Check out some common issues and solutions below, and be sure to speak with one of our consultants to see the great styles in person.
Direct Sunlight
Let’s face it. Colorado sun can be intense. If you have windows that face south (or east or west!), you know you get a ton of natural light—but that brings with it UV rays and additional heat, especially in the summer. Choosing an energy-efficient option like Duette® Cellular Shades can help offset that. These shades are designed with honeycomb-shaped pockets that trap air at the window, creating a layer of insulation. They are available in a number of fabrics and colors and in three different pleat sizes. Duette can be cut to fit your angled window and help increase its functionality in the room.
A-Frame Homes
A number of mountain homes—and some east of the foothills—are designed in the classic A-frame style, which is charming and very Colorado. However, they also have floor-to-ceiling and other angled windows that might seem tough to cover. To help reduce incoming sunlight, UV rays, and heat, it’s important to find the right treatment to balance your home’s architectural interest with reducing problematic issues. That’s where Somner® Custom Vertical Blinds and Vertical Solutions® Blinds can help out. Each is available in a variety of materials as well as opacities and can cover the large expanse of angled windows presented in this scenario. Plus, they’ll give you versatile privacy and light control through their rotating vanes.
All About Style
If you are concerned about matching your current contemporary or traditional style, you might appreciate the elegance that shutters can bring to a space. Heritance® Hardwood Shutters, made of genuine wood, breathe natural beauty into any room. NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters, made with highly durable faux materials, bring the look of genuine wood while withstanding direct light and heat without cracking, fading, or bowing. For windows in a humid room, check out Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters, which are designed to resist warping, chipping, and peeling. No matter your final goal, be sure to speak with one of our representatives to determine which product is right for your space and needs.
