Arched Windows
Hey! do have arched windows? Kinda hard to find window coverings for these isn't it?
While we do offer perfect arches (half as tall as wide) we and many companies do not offer solutions for eyebrow arches. Did you know you may be able to mount a standard blind and shade to the arch window? The application leaves the arch portion of the window uncovered which many find to be acceptable because the arch is normally located close to the ceiling and not a concern when privacy is desired. most shade and blind brackets are attached to the left and right ends of the product which will allow for inside and outside mounting on the ends only. This can be an issue if your window width is extreme, in which case a center support bracket will be needed and may be difficult if not impossible to install when you have no center area, divider, mullion.
Alternatives can be local manufacturers who computer cut wood and fauxwood products to your actual window arch. This will require precise measurement. A less expensive method would be a fabric valance or custom made fabric arch which can be installed using a variety of light weight metal tubing or curtain type rods.
Leaving the arch area open can allow for a nice day time illumination even when shades and blinds are closed and at night it might add a decorative accent to curb appeal, with the interior light visible thru the open arch.
Near future will most certainly make other arch options available. Until that time, I hope these are helpful.
Happy decorating and have a wonderful day!
