2 Ways To Design Window Shutters For Arched Windows

Window shutters are a versatile window dressing option. Irrespective of the type, size and shape of the window, there is a perfect shutter that will snugly fit it. This holds true for arch windows as well. Known for their unique shape, you might think that finding a window shutter can be challenging in this case. However, there are actually 2 excellent ways to design a custom shutter for an arched window. In this blog, California Shutters, manufacturers of wood shutters in Toronto, explore these two scenarios so you can make a more informed choice if you have arched windows.

 

Designing Shutters For Arched Windows

 

Isolating The Arch

 

Since the arch is at the top of the window, one way to design a shutter is to isolate the arch. This means that you will have to make two separate window shutters, one for the square or rectangular base, and one for the arch. The smaller shutter covering the arch can have hinges at the bottom, allowing you to easily open it and clean if need be. The bottom shutter can be a standard one opening on hinges towards the sides, or can even be placed on a track. One benefit of this type of shutter is better light control. You can open or both arches as you desire, offering an increased sense of privacy as well.

 

Including The Arch

 

This style requires a more bespoke window shutter design. The shutter will feature two panels spanning the entire length and breadth of the window, covering the unique arch shape as well. Its mechanism can be pretty standard, opening the door on its hinges into the room or outside. One benefit of this style of window shutters is that it will allow more light into the room.
