Problems in Fitting Roller Blinds for Non Standard Windows
Though you can get your roller blinds customised to fit the non-standard windows, there are various problems that you must consider:
Measurement Problem
Accurate measurements in installing roller blinds are critically important. Most non-standard windows are constrained to unusual dimensions and shapes, which might be confusing in trying to get accurate measurements. Any miscalculations can result in ill-fitting blinds, and they will not cover the window sufficiently.
Limited Options
You might have only a few roller blind options available. This is because mostly people avoid going for premade blinds for their irregularly shaped windows. Therefore, they end up finding custom solutions and get fresh blinds made according to their requirements.
Complications of Installation
Installation of the roller blind for non-standard windows is quite complex. It depends on the shape and position of the windows. You must fit the brackets properly or you might have to get them customised to fit well.
Aesthetic Considerations
It’s difficult to keep a uniform style of roller blinds when it comes to irregularly shaped windows. They must match the unusual shape of the window and follow the theme of the room.
Solutions for Mounting Roller Blinds on Non-Standard Windows
Despite the difficulties outlined above, there are solutions that will help install roller blinds effectively with non-standard windows.
Customised Roller Blinds
The best approach to tackling the problems of non-standard windows is through custom roller blinds. In fact, most manufacturing companies as well as retailers offer options for customization. You can choose the size, fabric, colour, and style most appropriate for your window.
Flexible Mounting Options
Specialised hardware is a support system for arched or bay windows. For example, you might have to fit brackets at different angles. Another way is to use tension rods to fit the roller blinds correctly.
Specialised Hardware
You might have to get separate hardware for particular window shapes. Some examples include a curved track that you can mount on roller blinds on arched windows. Sometimes, all you need is adjustable brackets for bay windows. This hardware can make installing treatments easier and secure.
Layering Treatments
You can also layer roller blinds with other window treatments. For example, the application of sheer curtains or drapes in combination with roller blinds would add an aesthetic effect. Also, it offers extra light control and privacy. It’s particularly suitable for bay windows as the layering softens their look.
Motorised Roller Blinds
A motorised roller blind is best for difficult to access non standard windows. You can be open and close with a remote control or your smartphone application.
Non-Standard Windows Installation Process
It’s better to not take any risk with your non standard window treatments and call for professional help. As it is a one time investment, you might end up doing more damage to the windows or the blinds. Therefore, only trust a highly rated window treatments company. At Brighter Blinds And Doors, we take care of your installation and maintenance at an affordable price. The process is as follows:
Measurement
Calibrate all your tools. You might need a measuring tape, a level, and a pencil. For arched windows, you measure the width at the widest point and the height at the highest point. It’s better to take bay window measurements separately for each window. Decide whether the blinds should go inside the window frame or outside. Inside mounting needs more attention and requires accurate measurements.
The Ideal Blinds
Select the Materials
Decide on the materials and level of opacity you want, depending on your requirements for light blockout or privacy needs.

It’s important to have all the tools and equipment, like a drill, screws, brackets, and a level. Roller blind installation experts are always fully equipped and prepared.
Install the Blinds
Mark the spot on the accurate level anc attach the bracket. Make sure it is well aligned. Now slide the roller blind into the brackets and fix it into place.
Conclusion
