Which blinds work best for triangular windows?

There is a trend to design homes with large double height triangular windows; often these leave homeowners with few options for privacy.

Curtains are not a good option, as there is nowhere for the curtains to stack back to.

There are a number of blinds at Norwich Sunblinds that are great options for triangular windows.

Roller Blinds

Firstly Roller blinds, can be cut to the shape of the window, and stack to the bottom of the triangle.

• Rollers can either be operated by a cord and pulley system, or they can be motorised for convenience.
• The fabric has to be very stable and closely woven to keep its shape, is only available in a selection of colours, and comes with a solar protective backing.
• They can be made up to 220cm wide, so often 2 roller blinds are required to cover a gable end.

Pleated blinds

Pleated blinds are a great option, again these can be cut to the shape of the triangle and can often be stacked back at the bottom of the Triangle.

Depending on the shape they usually will need to be split into several sections, we would ensure to split at the mullion points, so they are not meeting in front of the glass.

• Pleated blinds are available in a large range of fabrics including blackout
• The rails are available in white brown or Anthracite, or can be powder coated to your own choice of colour.
• They are available as a manual option, but work well motorised.

Venetian blinds for triangular windows

Venetians are available for triangular shaped windows, but they will only tilt, they will not be able to be stacked away.

Depending on the size Venetians can be supplied with either aluminium or wood slats.

• Shutters are available to fit triangular shapes and gable ends; they will only be able to be tilted, or pulled back in sections
• Venetian blinds offer a luxury, stylish option, and are available in painted colours.
• Natural wood venetians can be painted to your own colour.
• Choose from a wide range of options in slat sizes and configurations

Whichever option you choose, your blinds will to be measured precisely, by our surveyor, and installed by our expert team.
