Can plantation shutters be installed on irregularly shaped or curved windows? 

This is a question that often arises when homeowners consider installing plantation shutters on their windows. The answer is yes, plantation shutters can be installed on irregularly shaped or curved windows with the right approach.

At Allied Shutter, we have extensive experience in installing plantation shutters on all types of windows, including irregularly shaped and curved windows. In this article, we will discuss the various factors that determine whether plantation shutters can be installed on such windows and the techniques we use to ensure a perfect fit.

Determining the Feasibility of Installing Plantation Shutters on Irregularly Shaped or Curved Windows

The first step in determining whether plantation shutters can be installed on irregularly shaped or curved windows is to assess the shape and size of the window.

Irregularly shaped windows can come in many forms, including arches, circles, triangles, and polygons, while curved windows can be circular, oval, or even elliptical in shape.

Once we have assessed the shape and size of the window, we can then determine whether plantation shutters can be installed on the window. The feasibility of installation depends on several factors, including the degree of curvature of the window, the size of the window, and the location of the window in the home.

Techniques Used for Installing Plantation Shutters on Irregularly Shaped or Curved Windows

At Allied Shutter, we use several techniques for installing plantation shutters on irregularly shaped or curved windows. One of the techniques we use is templating, which involves creating a template of the window to ensure a precise fit.

For curved windows, we use a technique called curved track systems, which involves using a flexible track that follows the curve of the window. This technique ensures that the shutters can be opened and closed smoothly, without any interference.

Another technique we use is custom manufacturing, where we manufacture plantation shutters that are specifically designed to fit the irregularly shaped or curved window. This technique involves taking precise measurements of the window and creating shutters that fit the window perfectly.

Advantages of Installing Plantation Shutters on Irregularly Shaped or Curved Windows

There are several advantages of installing plantation shutters on irregularly shaped or curved windows. One of the main advantages is that they add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any room. Plantation shutters also provide excellent light control and privacy, which is especially important for rooms that face the street or other homes.

In addition, plantation shutters can help reduce energy costs by providing insulation against heat and cold. This is particularly beneficial for homes that have irregularly shaped or curved windows, which can be more difficult to insulate with traditional window treatments.
