Not all windows are created equal. If your home boasts beautiful architectural elements like arched windows, angled windows, or windows with door handles or cranks, finding the perfect window treatment can be a challenge. But fear not! This guide will help you navigate the world of “cut-out” window shades and blinds, ensuring your unique windows receive the stylish and functional coverings they deserve.

What Are Cut-Out Window Shades and Blinds?

Cut-out window treatments are designed specifically for windows and doors with obstructions. They feature customised cut-outs that allow for clearance around handles, cranks, and other obstacles, ensuring a seamless fit and optimal functionality.

Benefits of Cut-Out Window Shades and Blinds?

  • Perfect Fit: No more struggling with ill-fitting shades or blinds. Cut-outs provide a tailored solution for your unique windows.
  • Enhanced Functionality: Easily operate window cranks, open and close French doors, or access air conditioners without removing the window treatments.
  • Improved Aesthetics: A clean and polished look with no gaps or awkward adjustments.
  • Increased Light Control: Achieve the desired level of light and privacy without compromising functionality.
