Specialty Shaped Windows
Specialty-shaped windows are a beautiful addition to many homes - but the question asked is: How do we cover these windows?
At The Blind Spot, we strive to find an answer to that question. Sometimes the answer is a fixed, non-operable solution. Depending on the size of the window there are many operable solutions as well.
Angled windows
Often these windows can be covered with an operable angle top honeycomb solution. They can also be covered with Silhouettes, wood & faux blinds, shutters, pleated shades, and sometimes fixed solar screen panels.
Arched windows
The same products mentioned above can be used on arch windows as well. The honeycomb arch can be operable, or a stationary sunburst.
Often we can keep the unique look of the specialty shape by adding an arched fabric-covered cornice over the top of the windows and hang a rectangular operable shade below (that hides behind the cornice when up). This keeps costs down yet complements other furniture, carpet, paint, or accessories with a splash of color.

Exterior Shades
Exterior shades can be manual, motorized or fixed, made of solar screen material to cut the sun's glare and UV rays before they enter through the glass of your windows.
Skylights
Often an overlooked window that can let out more than 30% of heat in the winter - Skylights can be manual or motorized, in honeycomb shade, pleated shade and solar screen material. Some smaller skylights can also be battery operated motorized - new since 2004 from Hunter Douglas.
