Dressing Your Gable Windows
Numerous types of windows appear in Michigan homes. Casement and sliding windows are some of the most popular, but we also commonly see picture windows, bay windows, transom windows, sidelights, skylights, dormer windows, and gable windows. And while all windows share the common purpose of bringing more natural sunlight into the home, they are all quite different when it comes to dressing them. Today, we’ll be looking at window treatments for gable windows and the unique benefits and challenges that gable windows pose to Michigan homes.
What is a Gable Window?
First, let’s start by looking at the specifics of gable windows and how they differ from other home windows. We see gable windows under a roof peak, and often, their edges are parallel to the roofline, creating triangular or trapezoid-shaped windows. Gable windows add angular interest to a home’s facade, strengthening the structure’s lines and architectural style.
Challenges with Window Treatments for Gable Windows
Most often, gable windows are triangular or trapezoid-shaped and can be slanted or angled. All these factors make dressing gable windows a more nuanced challenge than dressing standard casement or sliding glass windows because not all window shades can accommodate specialty shapes. Also, as gable windows are found along the roofline, window treatments for gable windows can be hard to reach and present challenges for homeowners when it comes to controlling those shades.
Hunter Douglas Gable Window Treatments
When looking for new gable window treatments near Grand Rapids, Michigan, we like cellular shades, wood blinds, and vinyl shutters because they are customizable to the unique shapes of gable windows and suitable for the climate and conditions of Michigan life. Plus, all three of these Hunter Douglas gable window treatments are available with PowerView® Automation for easy control even when the treatments are out of reach.
- Duette® Cellular Shades: As some of the best insulating shades available for residential use, cellular shades can keep the harshness of Michigan winters out for more comfortable interiors. Duette® Cellular Shades can be tailored to a wide range of specialty window shapes with horizontal and vertical applications for gable window treatments coordinated with other shades in the room and throughout the home.
- Parkland® Wood Blinds: For light control and timeless sophistication in window treatments for gable windows, we like using Parkland® Wood Blinds. The natural charm of wood and the treatment’s smart, clean lines work in various interior design styles popular in Michigan.
- Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters: When the intensity of a Michigan summer sun is beating down on your home, Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters not only help to keep that heated sunlight out of your home, they’re also specially engineered to resist UV for long-lasting protection.
