The Best Window Covering For Angled Windows In Chicago
With rake (or angled) windows becoming more and more popular in contemporary home design, regular window treatments like curtains or drapes just don’t cut it anymore. You need a window treatment that will complement the uniqueness of your window, instead of masking it. For this reason and many more, plantation shutters are our number one recommendation for the angled windows in your Chicago home.

Maybe you have windows that are trapezoidal. No matter the case, Sunburst Shutters Chicago can build shutters that perfectly fit and complement your window’s unique shape. And unlike drapes or curtains that obscure your window with a rectangular cover, shutters can truly bring out the character of your home’s architecture.
Along with keeping the visual accent angled windows add to your home, plantation shutters also come with numerous benefits beyond their aesthetics.
Unmatched Control Of Your Space
Shutters aren’t just a fantastic window covering choice based on their looks. They’re also the most effective product for giving you utmost control over heat flow and light in your home.

When managed properly, the Polywood Insulating System can block nearly 30 degrees of airflow, and is able to reduce heat transfer by close to 45%, so your house stays the perfect temperature, and your AC bills are reduced.
For non-rectangular windows, UV-blocking window film is also an consideration since it can be cut to fit any window shape. Remember though that window film won’t give you much visual control of the room, and we recommend pairing them with another window treatment such as shutters to protect your privacy and give style to your home.
