Glazed corner windows are often a feature but can be a challenge when it comes to light and privacy control. With the increased popularity for slimline glazing and floating corner posts, together with the demand for minimalism, shading solutions need to be considered early in the project.
Popular products for corner windows include Roller blinds, Honeycell Duette® and Curtains with curved tracks. Other solutions used include Roman and Venetian blinds. With planning, these products can be flush or concealed to minimize the visual impact when not required. For retrofit installations, pelmets, and surface-mounted concealment boxes can be colour-matched to the corner window structure.
We often recommend including a concealed blind to control privacy and light - add a voile curtain to provide softness if required. The concealed blind can be made using blackout, privacy or screen material. Where maximum blackout solutions are required, in bedrooms and media rooms, light ingress reduction products can often be included in the design. The space required to conceal blinds depends on the shading products to be installed.
Dual blackout Roller blind solutions with side channels to reduce light ingress can be designed to work in a corner where there is a corner post available. These products are available from Grants with Somfy, Lutron and Silent Gliss motors. Design consideration is needed to ensure a good aesthetic finish is obtained. Grants provide bespoke solutions to incorporate concealment products into corner posts.
These 25mm pleated type blinds, can work well in a corner as they sit close to one another. These blinds also work well combined with shaped windows and gables. Suitable for concealment, Duette® Blinds can be hidden within boxes when planned or behind pelmets in a retro-fit installation.
