What Window Treatment Is Best For Arched Windows In Raleigh?

January 06, 2017

Arched or sometimes called eyebrow windows are rectangular in size with a rounded top. They look stunning in your interior, but their characteristic curving top makes it challenging to find window treatments to accommodate them. You wouldn’t want to conceal their beautiful look with a square window treatment, but they may allow intense sun glare you don’t want in your line of vision. So what are the leading arched window treatments in Raleigh? Custom-made plantation shutters are the ideal choice. They’ll fit your window’s specific shape and provide all the benefits you want from premium window treatments.

Louvered Shutters Show Off Your Window’s Shape

Eyebrow and other types of arched windows are so appealing that concealing yours behind an ill-suited window covering would be unfortunate. While window shades and blinds typically come as rectangles, louvered shutters can fit any window shape and size. This adaptability makes them ideal for arched windows like your eyebrow window. Your custom-made shutter frame will stick to the specific lines of the window, emphasizing the arch. The louvers might be situated in a “sunburst” radiating from the lower middle of the window or as a “louvered arch” of horizontal rows up to the top, contingent on the window’s size. Both configurations are totally operational and attractive.

You can find plantation shutters constructed of hardwood or a strong synthetic wood like Polywood® shutters. Wood shutters are found in a variety of popular hues to harmonize with your home. Polywood shutters provide long-lasting durability and are white, to go with any interior design. They won’t distort in moisture-heavy kitchens and bathrooms or discolor in windows with overflowing sunlight.

Plantation Shutters Control Outside Drafts And Light

You can keep your arched window untreated, but most families like and require some sort of window treatment in Raleigh if that window allows sun glare and warm UV rays. Plantation shutters block light, heat, and drafts. Outside weather can’t get through their rigid materials. The tiny bit of outside light that exists between the louvers creates only a faint glow. Their louvers also keep back most cold and warmth from your window. In fact, energy-smart Polywood shutters have innovative weather sealing that obstructs up to 30 degrees of temperature transfer.

Louvered Shutters On Elevated Windows Are Still A Cinch To Clean

You’ll frequently notice eyebrow windows on top of entryways or other large windows. This positioning causes them to be high on the wall and perhaps difficult to reach. This height creates an obstacle when cleaning other window products but not louvered shutters.

When cleaning an eyebrow window plantation shutter in Raleigh, just use an extendable duster to access the shutter. It’s no problem to fit a duster around the corners and between the louvers to collect every spot of dust. You’ll also discover how the shutter won’t swing or bend like blinds or shades.
