Cover the windows nobody else can
Arches, angles, circles, and sliding doors take measurement and craft that off-the-shelf coverings can't handle. We only recommend the products we know will fit and look intentional — so even the trickiest opening looks like it was always meant to be covered.
Who it's best for
- Arched, angled, or circular windows
- Tall great-room and gable windows
- Sliding glass and patio doors
- Unusual openings that store-bought coverings can't fit
Hunter Douglas collections
Your options, in plain terms
Specialty-shape shutters
Almost any covering can technically be built for a specialty shape, but shutters are one of the only products that still look good on one. Heritance® and NewStyle® shutters fit arches, angles, and cutouts cleanly — our top recommendation for an unusual opening.
Duette® cellular shades
The one shade we recommend for specialty shapes. Its honeycomb construction is light and strong enough to hold an arched or angled form while still insulating — a rare combination.
Sliding-door solutions
For wide patio doors, vertical sheers like Luminette® and panel systems glide smoothly across the opening without a bulky stack of fabric.
Worth thinking through
Design considerations
It starts with measurement
Specialty shapes live or die on precise measurement. Our designers handle this in your home, so the finished covering fits like it was always there.
We only recommend what truly fits
Not every product belongs on a specialty shape. We'd rather steer you to the two or three that look and work right than sell you something that fights the window.
Will the window still operate?
Often the arched or angled top is a fixed decorative cover while the lower section operates normally. We'll show you which parts move and which stay put before you decide.
Good to know
Common questions
Which shapes can you cover?
Arches, angles, circles, trapezoids, gables, and tall great-room windows — plus wide sliding glass and patio doors. If it isn't a standard rectangle, it's worth a conversation.
Why do you recommend shutters for specialty shapes?
Because they fit the form cleanly and still look beautiful. Many coverings can be forced onto an odd shape, but shutters are built to it — so the result looks intentional rather than improvised.
Can an arched window still operate?
Often the arch is a fixed decorative cover while the lower section operates. We'll show you the options that fit your specific window during the consultation.
