The Perfect Window Covering For Angled Windows In Bakersfield

August 29, 2016

With angled (or rake) windows getting increasingly popular in contemporary interior design, common window treatments such as shades or curtains just don’t cut it anymore. You deserve a window covering that will accentuate the uniqueness of your window, instead of masking it. For this reason and others which we’ll dive into, plantation shutters are our number one recommendation for the angled windows in your Bakersfield home.

Let’s take a closer look at why your angled windows would be served best by shutters from Sunburst Shutters Bakersfield.

Custom-Built For Any Window Shape And Size

No window treatment available can fit angled windows as perfectly as do custom-built plantation shutters.Do you have triangular windows in your Bakersfield house? Maybe they’re slanted. No matter the case, Sunburst Shutters Bakersfield can build shutters that seamlessly fit and complement your window’s unique configuration. And unlike drapes or curtains that mask your window behind a rectangular cover, shutters can truly bring out the uniqueness of your home’s architecture.

In addition to letting you keep the visual “pop” angled windows add to your home, plantation shutters also give you several benefits beyond their looks.

Unrivaled Control Of Your Space

Shutters aren’t just a fantastic window covering choice because of their aesthetics. They’re also the best treatment for giving you complete control over heat flow and light in your room. By simply adjusting the louvers, plantation shutters allow you to alter how much light that comes into your space.

When it’s a priority to keep your room at a comfortable temperature, there’s no choice other than our Polywood® plantation shutters because they are designed for maximum insulation benefits. When used properly, the Polywood Insulating System blocks nearly 30 degrees of airflow, and is able to reduce heat transfer by close to 45%, meaning your house stays the perfect temperature, and your AC bills stay low.

For rake windows, ultraviolet-blocking window film is an additional option since it can be cut to fit any window shape. Don’t forget though that window film doesn’t do much in the way of offering visual control of the area, and should usually be paired with a secondary window treatment such as shutters to allow for more privacy and add style to your windows.

The Money Aspect

As mentioned before, plantation shutters are proven effective at containing heat flow and saving you money on your utilities, but there are additional ways you can save money from your window investment. Given the proper care, the shutters on your rake windows can last dozens of years, while other window treatments would need regular replacement after a few short years.

When the time comes to move on from your house and put it on the market, plantation shutters are a notable benefit for potential buyers in Bakersfield. In addition, the personality they add to your angled windows can boost walkthrough appeal, similar to a classic hardwood floor.
