Measure the architecture
A shaped-window project starts with the geometry: widths, drops, apex heights, slopes, fixing positions and how the curtains need to stack and operate.
About Apex Curtains
Apex Curtains focuses on apex, triangular, angled, gable-end, double-height and unusually large glazing. These projects need the curtain, track, fixing position, room use and installation method to work as one system.
A shaped-window project starts with the geometry: widths, drops, apex heights, slopes, fixing positions and how the curtains need to stack and operate.
The curtain is only one part of the system. Track route, support, fixing surface, access and installation height all affect the final result.
Privacy, blackout, thermal comfort, voile layering, heading style and fabric weight are considered alongside the window shape and daily use of the room.
How we approach a difficult window
We do not begin with a generic curtain style and force it onto the window. We begin with the shape, the practical constraints and what the room needs to achieve.
Identify the window geometry and usable fixing positions.
Decide how the curtains should open, stack and clear the glazing.
Match the track system to the shape, weight and installation conditions.
Choose curtain construction, heading, lining and layering around the room's needs.
Plan access and installation for tall, awkward or double-height spaces.
Our authority pages explain the practical systems behind shaped-window curtains, from track routes and fixing considerations to blackout, privacy and thermal comfort.
