What Window Treatment Is Best For Arched Windows In Destin?

January 06, 2017

Arched or eyebrow windows are rectangular with a rounded top. They look striking in your interior, but their trademark curving top makes it difficult to get workable window treatments. You don’t want to hide their delightful look with a standard square window treatment, but they might permit bright sun glare you want to avoid. So what are the leading arched window treatments in Destin? Custom-made louvered shutters are the perfect option. They’ll fit your window’s unique shape and offer all the benefits you expect to get from premium window treatments.

Louvered Shutters Emphasize Your Window’s Shape

Eyebrow and other types of arched windows are so attractive that covering yours behind an unflattering window covering would be a shame. While window shades and blinds generally work for standard rectangles, plantation shutters can fit any window shape or size. This unique ability makes them excellent for arched windows like your eyebrow window. Your custom-fabricated shutter frame will adhere to the specific lines of the window, emphasizing the arch. Then, depending on the scope of your window, the louvers can be positioned in a “sunburst” fanning out from the window’s bottom middle or as a “louvered arch” with horizontal rows of louvers all the way to the top. Both configurations are fully functional and attractive.

You can order plantation shutters made from natural wood or a solid wood synthetic like Polywood® shutters. Wood shutters are available in a variety of popular colors to blend with your home. Polywood shutters offer incredible durability and are white, to match any design. They won’t warp in humid bathrooms and kitchens or discolor in sun-filled windows.

Plantation Shutters Manage Outside Daylight And Drafts

You can keep your arched window open, but most families like and require some kind of window treatment in Destin if the window lets in sun glare and warm UV rays. Plantation shutters control heat, drafts, and light. Outside elements can’t get through their rigid materials. The tiny allowance of light that shows behind the louvers produces only a faint glimmer. Their louvers also keep back most cold and warmth from your window. In actuality, energy-efficient Polywood shutters have patented weather protection that prevents up to 30 degrees of window temperature transfer.

Interior Shutters On High Windows Are Still Easy To Clean

You’ll typically find eyebrow windows on top of entryways or other sizeable windows. This positioning causes them to be high on the wall and perhaps problematic to access. This elevation creates a difficulty when cleaning other window treatments but not indoor shutters.

When cleaning an eyebrow window plantation shutter in Destin, simply use a duster you can extend to reach the shutter. It’s no problem to slide a duster between the louvers and in the corners to get every spot of dust. You’ll also appreciate how the shutter won’t move side to side or contort like blinds or shades.
