What are angled windows?

 

Typically, unlike traditional rectangular windows, angled windows have tilted or angled sides, which we all refer to as sash windows.

Because of the wide variety of home designs, angled windows can come in a variety of angles, from acute to obtuse, and in sizes ranging from small triangular panes to spacious trapezoidal openings. So trying to install a proper curtain can be a bit of a challenge.

How to Install Curtains Angled

 

1.Measure for Width

 

Before you start hanging curtains, make sure the panels are wide enough to cover your home's windows. You don't want to be rudely awakened by a beam of sunlight that the curtains don't block, so measure your window dimensions before purchasing or making your curtains. The total width of your curtain panels should add up to about two times the window's width.

 

2.Measure the Tallest Height and Shortest Height

     

    Because the windows are angled and tilted. So, after you have determined the width of the curtains, you need to measure how far each of the two end points are from the ground. Correct measurements will ensure that your curtains are at a level with the ground.

    3.Selection of Suspension

       

      Since the windows are tilted, traditional rod hung curtains are neither necessary nor feasible. This is because gravity would make them unfeasible, sagging into an unsightly pile. Also, the height of the window would make them difficult to open and close. So, we decided to use a pair of fixed panels and forgo the locking ring or rod pocket style.

      Opt for a fixed hook curtain, such as the French pleat style, which has end brackets at each end to help hold the top of the curtain in place. French pleat heads also make it easy to hide curtain tracks.

       

      If you don't have a curtain track, the command hooks will also allow you to hang it on the window angled corner. Since the weight-bearing capacity of the command hooks is relatively small, the curtains cannot be made of heavier materials such as velvet.

       

      So, next question!

       

      4.Choosing the Right Curtain Fabric

         

        Curtain fabrics play a key role in both decorative style and functionality. Here are the characteristics of various fabrics:

         

        Cotton: soft, breathable, and easy to clean.

         

        Linen: Natural looking, environmentally friendly material.

         

        Polyester: Durable, wrinkle-resistant, very affordable

         

        Lace: Delicate openwork fabric that lets in light.

         

        Velvet: Luxurious look and soft touch for warmth

         

        Our advice is to choose cotton material for your curtains angled. Thought cotton is easy to care for and hygienic, the material will not be light or heavy, and it is suitable for hanging for a long time without moving.

        5.Choosing the length of your curtains

           

          Sill Length: Curtains hang 3 inch or more below the bottom of the sash.

           

          Floor Length: This is the most common style of curtain length.

           

          Puddle Length: These curtains drop about 5 to 8 inches extra on the floor, creating a beautiful, lush puddle effect.

           

          We agreed that the puddle look was the way to go. Because he creates a relaxed, sublime feel.

           

          Why Choose Custom Shades for Angled Windows?

           

          Purchasing custom draperies for angled windows ensures that they fit perfectly while enhancing the aesthetics and functionality of your home. Many standard window coverings simply don't work for unique window shapes, but a custom solution allows you to maintain the architectural integrity of your windows while optimizing light control, privacy, and insulation.
