Gable windows are becoming more and more common, not just in conservatories but also in other rooms across the home; and they are now often being fitted in areas like bedrooms or above a set of folding doors. However finding the right shading for these unique shapes can be difficult, and most people going to standard blind companies may have to settle for rectangular blinds awkwardly fitted into the shape.
At Specialist Blinds we have a number of unique solutions for these gable windows, that neatly fit into the area and don’t awkwardly cover it up. The most popular solution are our pureaspect™ Gable Blinds, but we also offer a range of vertical blinds for gable end windows.
Why Invest in Blinds for Gable End Windows?
Just like with any other form of glazing, your windows can let in a lot of excess heat and glare. People often struggle with shading gables as general store-bought blinds do not fit to the correct shape or leave bulky fabric rolls when retracted. Hence why most people opt for experts in triangular window blinds when looking for solutions.
Why Choose Bespoke Blinds for your Gable End Window?
As aforementioned, we are experts in gable blinds and have over 25 years of crafting made to measure blinds. We have the experience and market-leading technology in our Kent factory to ensure the highest quality of blinds.
We highly recommend our pureaspect™ technology that is our most popular solution for gable blinds. With this, we are able to cover meters-high glazing with only one or two blinds. Additionally, we can cover smaller gables found in kitchens or bedrooms. Either way, our blinds appear almost invisible when retracted so you get the most from your view and your blinds.
Standard shop-bought vertical blinds often completely hide the shape of your unique window and leave excess material hanging below. Whereas we offer shaped vertical blinds that are effective with side windows, lean-to conservatories or gables. By choosing bespoke vertical blinds we also ensure the louvres of your vertical blinds won’t fall back against gravity like they often do with cheaper alternatives.
Negatives and Positives of Vertical Blinds Positives:
Positives:
- Blocking out the sun can help keep your room cool and control temperature slightly.
- We offer our bespoke vertical blinds in a variety of fabrics, colours and textures.
- Child-safe as all our manual vertical blinds come with control wands so there’s no risk with any blind chords.
- A cost-effective option for gable blinds.
- We offer motorisation options for our vertical blinds such as remote control blinds, smart blinds and battery powered blinds.
Negatives:
- Duette® Thermal Blinds can be better at temperature control and may be a better option if you’re researching what are the best blinds for keeping heat out.
- Vertical blinds retract to the side of your gable rather than folding into the angled recess as our other blinds can. So, we would recommend Duette® blinds in large triangular windows if you would like your blinds to be almost invisible when retracted.
- Bespoke vertical blinds are better suited for very wider areas of rectangular glazing.
