What Window Treatment Should You Use For Arched Windows In Phoenix?

January 06, 2017

Arched or often called eyebrow windows are rectangular in size with a round, semi-circle top. They look stunning in your home, but their trademark curving top makes it difficult to locate window treatments for them. You wouldn’t want to hide their beautiful look with a typical square window treatment, but they might permit uncomfortable sun glare you want to stay away from. So what are the best arched window treatments in Phoenix? Custom-made plantation shutters are the right choice. They’ll match your window’s specific shape and offer all the advantages you want from premium window treatments.

Louvered Shutters Show Off Your Window’s Shape

Eyebrow and other arched windows are so appealing that covering yours behind the wrong window covering would be unfortunate. While window shades and blinds regularly work for standard rectangles, interior shutters are suitable for any window shape or size. This versatility makes them excellent for eyebrow windows and any arched window. Your custom-made shutter frame will follow the exact lines of the window, showing off the arch. Then, depending on the scope of your window, the louvers may be situated in a “sunburst” fanning out from the window’s bottom middle or as horizontal rows reaching to the top. Both possibilities are fully operational and eye-catching.

You can order plantation shutters made from natural wood or a strong wood synthetic like Polywood® shutters. Wood shutters are available in a variety of classic tints to harmonize with your interior. Polywood shutters provide incredible durability and are white, to match any aesthetic. They won’t deform in high-humidity kitchens and baths or fade in windows with abundant sunshine.

Interior Shutters Control Outside Drafts And Light

You could keep your arched window untreated, but most homeowners want and need some sort of window treatment in Phoenix if that window lets in sun glare and warm UV rays. Plantation shutters block heat, light, and drafts. Exterior elements can’t get past their sturdy construction. The small allowance of sunlight that shows between the louvers creates only a slight glow. Their louvers also keep away most heat and cold from your window. In actuality, energy-conserving Polywood shutters have patented weather sealing that obstructs up to 30 degrees of window temperature transfer.

Interior Shutters On Lofty Windows Are Still A Breeze To Clean

You’ll frequently notice eyebrow windows on top of entryways or other large windows. This orientation results in them being higher than most and potentially hard to access. This loftiness creates an obstacle when cleaning many window treatments but not indoor shutters.

For an eyebrow window plantation shutter in Phoenix, merely use a duster on an extendable pole to reach the shutter. It’s easy to fit a duster between the louvers and around the corners to get every spot of dust. You’ll also appreciate how the shutter won’t sway or contort like window blinds or shades.
