SHAPED WINDOWS

Modern shaped windows come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Here are some common options you want to consider next time you do window replacement:

• Square windows – this is so far the most common type of shaped window. It is often inoperable and the design possibilities are endless.

• Circle windows – whenever you think about enhancing the interior design for the new builds and renovations, a round window will come in handy. It creates an irresistible focal point. Primarily used in hallways and bathrooms, circular windows can also be used in living and dining rooms for enhancing architectural beauty.

• Triangle windows – they are also commonly known as slating windows, raked windows, or gable windows. They create a focal point when paired with rectangular windows either on the side or above.

• Half-round window – as the name suggests, this window consists of a fixed glass panel covering half of the window. In this design, two shapes could be a combination of a half circle and a squire or a half circle and a rectangle. The combination options are endless.

• Gothic windows – this window’s architectural design dates back to the 12th century. The style emphasizes explicitly on vertical space. It consists of pointed arches and foils. While they are commonly used in vintage buildings, these windows are getting a lot of attention nowadays and are being used in contemporary homes in Canada.

• Octagon windows – bring style and fun to your home by installing an eight-sided window. This is usually a fixed window with a large glass pane, which provides a great scenic view and allows natural light into your home. You can flank this window design with operable windows such as awning or casement to enhance ventilation and airflow.
