Got Unique Round Windows? Solutions For Covering Them Up
If you have unique round windows in your home, it can be a little difficult finding the right way to cover them up. Fortunately, this can be done and you can even choose coverings that are as unique as your windows are. Below is some information about this so you can get your windows all dressed up.
Shutters
You can find shutters in a variety of sizes and shapes, including for round windows. Shutters are a good option if you want something that you can easily open and close to let in varying amounts of sunlight. If you choose shutters, you will need to have them custom made to fit a round window.
Fabric
One benefit of using fabric is you can find it in just about any style and color that you want. Purchase a twist rod and place it at the top of your window frame to hang or drape the fabric over the window. You can find twist rods at home improvement stores in a variety of lengths, and you will not need any hardware to hang the rod.
Glass
You can use stained glass or colored glass to cover the windows in a unique way. This will let sunlight come in through the window, and you will not have to worry about someone from outside looking through the window. Stained glass can be expensive. For this reason, you can choose products that will imitate stained glass to save some money.
Cellular Shades
Cellular shades will also work well for this purpose. Cellular shades use pleated fabric that forms honeycomb-shaped compartments. You can find the compartments in different layers, such as single, double, and triple. The layers trap air inside them so they provide your home with some insulation, which saves money on your energy bills. You can find cellular shades that do not open or close, or you can choose shades that have slats that are movable.
Window Film
Window film is a good option because you can cut it to any shape that you want. You can find many different types of window film, such as film that is frosted to completely clear. It can be difficult to cut the shape so that it fits your round window exactly. It can be helpful to cut the round shape on something else, such as a piece of newspaper, to use as a guide.
