All About Arch Windows

Did you know that specialty-shaped windows can increase the curb appeal of your home?

Half-circle windows (also known as arch windows) are one way to improve the external appeal of your house.

One of the most popular configurations for half-circle windows is to place them at the top of your standard window. The right window configuration can magically transform your house from basic to classy with a single stroke. But first, you need to choose the right design of windows to combine with your half-circle windows.

Design choices you can make using arch windows

Not every window design can align well with a half-circle window. Some of the design options that can improve the curb appeal of your home include:

1. Picture windows

Picture windows give a clear impression of the outside of your home. Adding the half circle makes your house stand out more.

2. Casement windows

For casement windows, the windows are attached to the frame of your window opening and have an opening and closing mechanism. Casement windows come with sashes and hinges and are good protection for your house during harsh weather conditions.

3. Single and double-hung windows

These two windows have operable sashes. A single-hung window has a fixed top part of the window and a movable lower half. Conversely, double-hung windows come with two movable sashes that move up and down to allow for ventilation.

The options of window types onto which to add your half-circle windows are endless. Once your windows are fit, what follows is having a way to cover your half-circle window.

How to cover half-circle windows?

The main part of your windows can be covered with your preferred curtain designs. Note that you also need a half-circle window shade to go along with your window curtain to give it a matching outlook.

You can start by doing some research online on arched window projects to get some half-circle window ideas for your home. It's also important to not forget to measure the width and height of your arch to ensure you purchase the right size blinds.

Blinds and shades for arched windows are available on multiple retail sites, including Amazon, Wayfair, and more.
