Angled Window Curtain Design for Gable Roof Homes
Angled Window Curtain Installation for Gable Roof Ceiling House
This article explores the unique design and installation considerations for angled window curtains, particularly in homes with vault apex ceilings and steep gable roofs. These architectural features are commonly seen in European-style houses, presenting aesthetic opportunities and challenges for window treatments. Here, we’ll showcase our recent project at the Grand Bangkok Boulevard East Rama 9—a luxurious modern mansion in Bangkok's Roman-style architectural community and another project which, honestly, I forgot which part of Bangkok we have done this project. Unfortunately, I only have two photos from these projects, which one of our team members took and forwarded to me.
Curtain Solutions for Unique Architectural Features
In these two projects, we provided custom window treatment solutions to complement the house’s steep gable roof and large angled windows. Our project also included designing and installing curtains across all floors to enhance the functionality and style of each room:
- Double-Height Ceiling: We adorned the double-height living area windows with an impressive 7-meter-high s-curve curtain, crafted with both sheer and blackout layers. This arrangement maximized natural light during the day and ensured privacy and darkness at night, all while adding elegance to the room’s towering space.
- Staircase and Bedroom: On the staircase, we installed practical roller shades that allow ample daylight for safe navigation. In the bedroom, we chose two-layer s-curve curtains, giving our clients the flexibility to control daylight and privacy effortlessly by adjusting the blackout and sheer layers as needed.
- Compact Bedroom Windows: For the smaller bedroom windows, we selected Roman shades. These shades offered a stylish yet practical solution, providing both privacy and light control in a compact, tailored design suited to smaller spaces.
Addressing Challenges with Gable Roof Angles
The steep, symmetrical gable roof typical of European-style architecture creates angled-shaped windows with sharp slopes, making curtain installation challenging. Our team carefully measured and designed each curtain to achieve a perfect fit for each window, considering the unique angles and sizes. We also utilized specialized hardware, such as custom brackets and rods, to ensure the curtains remained securely fastened to the angled walls.
Crafting Custom Curtains for Every Room’s Purpose
Our approach included using a range of curtain types and transparency levels to match each room's purpose and enhance the mansion’s overall luxury. The first floor’s high s-curve curtains added grandeur to the main living space, while roller shades and Roman blinds on higher floors provided functional elegance. This combination of window treatments allowed us to meet the specific needs of each room, from light control to privacy, emphasizing aesthetic appeal and practicality.
Final Touches on a European-Style Mansion
This project, set within the elegant community of Grand Bangkok Boulevard East Rama 9, exemplifies how tailored curtain solutions can elevate a home’s design. By leveraging our expertise in custom window treatments, we created a cohesive look throughout the mansion with thoughtful design to enhance both beauty and functionality.
In conclusion, our team’s meticulous attention to detail and experience with vault apex ceilings and angled windows resulted in a successful project that met our client’s expectations. This project highlights how thoughtful window treatment solutions can transform even the most challenging architectural features into beautifully integrated design elements.
