Standard blind companies struggle to craft triangular window blinds that neatly fit the window’s shape. However, as specialists with over 25 years of experience crafting blinds, we have a solution for almost any uniquely shaped window. People generally overestimate how simple gable blinds are to make. Most companies will actually leave a triangular-shaped window uncovered because they aren’t trained to cover it efficiently. Continue reading to find out how we use our expertise to craft triangular blinds.
Using pureaspect™ technology to create triangular window blinds
At Specialist Blinds, our skills lie within blinds for large windows and triangular window blinds. Each project puts our experience and mastery to the test. It takes a great deal of planning to ensure we create our triangular apex window blinds with the neatest possible fit, and operating smoothly. The gable window pictured above is unique in its floor-to-ceiling size and blind shapes chosen. In most cases like these, we cover the whole triangle shape with just two blinds (such as in the video below), whereas this customer wanted the ability to retract the blind that falls over their window on the left.
Comparatively, most blind companies struggle to cater to anything more than conventional rectangular window structures. Therefore, we often see make-shift cardboard covers or sheets pinned over a gable window made by the customer, or a blind company’s solution that involves many smaller blinds with gaps. Resulting in an untidy look, whilst being irritating to operate, as this involves dealing with a larger number of blinds.
No matter the amount of gable blinds installed, our blinds still fold away to the edge of your window very neatly. Consequently, the neat retraction means there are no wires or cables over your window and your view is entirely visible. As experts in triangular window blinds, it’s one of our most special features to our pureaspect™ technology. Similarly, our blinds have the unique ability to drop over the triangular part of your window and extend below over a more standard shaped window below.
Apex Window Blinds above Bifold Doors
Thanks to this drop-down method, blinds for apex windows are a popular choice for gable windows above sets of sliding or folding doors. We adore how this project above turned out. Additionally, the customers were extremely pleased we were able to cover the doors and window above with just two blinds. Thus, our customers don’t have to install separate bifold door blinds or sliding door blinds.
Our most popular fabric for gable blinds is our Duette® thermal blinds range that comes in a variety of shades and transparencies. Its most notable feature being its honeycomb texture, excellent for insulation. Furthermore, we offer a range of dimout blinds if that triangular window is within your bedroom or cinema room. The combination of neat-fitting blinds and the dim-out effect is a popular option.
