Round Window Shutters: Adding the Finishing Touch to Your Home

If you’re struggling to find a window dressing for that awkward circular window, round window shutters might be the perfect solution.

With competitive price and timely delivery, ymtc sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

In this guide, we’ll explain everything you need to know about circular window shutters – including how we make sure they’re a perfect fit for your window, whether you lose any practicality with special-shaped shutters and some of the benefits they’ll bring to your home.

Quick answer: Round window shutters are made-to-measure for circular windows. Since they’re made to measure, they are a perfect fit and offer enhanced room light control, privacy, and insulation. They’re often chosen over blinds and curtains because they maintain the attractive shape of round windows as they’re mounted inside, not outside, the frame.

What are round window shutters?

A circular window shutter is a shutter that’s been made-to-measure for a round window.

Thanks to the way shutters work, even a special-shaped shutter like this maintains all the benefits you’d expect from a more conventional rectangular shutter.

This is because the mechanisms that control the opening, closing, and angling of the louvres are built into the frame – so regardless of shape, your shutter will still function perfectly.

A shutter for a round window can be made to any size – so whether your property has a small bathroom porthole window or a grand circular feature window, shutters are an ideal window treatment.

How to measure for round window shutters

Measuring for special-shaped shutters is a little trickier than measuring for standard-shaped shutters.

This is one of the main reasons we provide a free measuring service – with years of experience; we know the exact measurements we need and where we have to be millimetre precise!

The biggest challenge is accurately finding the widest part of a circular window – otherwise known as the ‘diameter’. With this measurement, we can calculate the circumference of your window and plan the finer details of your shutters

This includes whether you’d like it to open or whether/how you’d like the circle shape broken down into panels.

Of course, we will also make sure your window is perfectly round! In some properties – especially older ones – time takes a slight toll on round windows, often leaving them very slightly out of shape.

While this is usually not visible to the naked eye – it becomes much more noticeable if there are inconsistent gaps around a shutter.

We’ll make sure your shutter is a perfect fit – even if it’s not a perfect circle!

The benefits of a shaped shutter

  • Perfect fit: Curtains and blinds cannot be mounted inside the frame of a circular window – so, when closed, the shape of your circle window is lost. Shutters fit inside the frame of your window, so you don’t lose this stunning addition to your room.
  • Light control: A shutter allows you to adjust the louvres to any angle – so regardless of where the sun is in the sky, you can always ensure you get just the right amount of light into your room.
  • Privacy: If your home is overlooked by passers-by or neighbouring properties, your shutter’s slats can be adjusted so they can’t see in – but the light can still enter your space.
  • Insulation: Shutters are ‘thermally dynamic’ – which means they reflect heat. On cold days, this means the warmth is trapped inside your home. On hot days, the sun’s harsh rays are kept out. This often has an impressive knock-on effect on your energy bills.

Shaped shutters for all rooms

Many of our shutter styles are created using sustainable solid hardwood.

While hardwood is a classic look and a fantastic material for living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms, wood isn’t recommended for rooms that experience high levels of humidity.

The good news is, round shutters can also be created using tough and waterproof ABS.

Created to mimic the look of natural wood shutters perfectly, ABS shutters are indistinguishable from the wooden products in our range – aside from the fact they will never warp or become misshapen in wet areas.

Round window shutters: A summary

Round window shutters maintain all the functions and good looks of a standard window shutter. What’s more, they offer a range of benefits – including light control, privacy, and insulation.

Although they can be made for any size window, accurately measuring the window’s diameter is critical to ensure the best possible fit.

While circular shutters are usually made of sustainable hardwood, ABS, a robust and waterproof material, can be used in humid environments.

Round shutters also preserve your window’s shape, something curtains and blinds can’t offer – and they can be created to account for slightly misshapen windows commonly found in older properties.

Interior Round Window Shutters: A Stylish and Functional Choice

Interior Round Window Shutters: A Stylish and Functional Choice

When it comes to home design, windows often play a pivotal role in defining the aesthetics and functionality of a space. While standard rectangular windows are the norm, many homes feature unique architectural elements such as round or arched windows. These windows add character and charm but can pose a challenge when finding the right window treatment. Enter interior round window shutters – a solution that combines style, practicality, and customization.

The Appeal of Round Window Shutters

Round window shutters are an elegant way to enhance the visual appeal of your home. Their tailored design allows them to fit seamlessly into circular or arched window frames, highlighting the architectural beauty of these features. Unlike traditional curtains or blinds, shutters provide a clean, polished look that complements various interior styles, from classic to contemporary.

Beyond their aesthetic value, round window shutters offer several functional benefits:

  1. Light Control: Shutters allow homeowners to adjust the amount of natural light entering a room. You can achieve the perfect balance of sunlight and privacy by tilting the louvres.
  2. Energy Efficiency: Quality shutters act as an insulating barrier, helping to maintain indoor temperatures. This can reduce energy costs by minimizing heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer.
  3. Privacy: Shutters provide excellent privacy without compromising on light. They are especially effective in bedrooms, bathrooms, or street-facing rooms.
  4. Durability: Made from materials like wood, composite, or vinyl, interior shutters are built to last and withstand daily use.

Materials and Styles

Interior round window shutters are available in a range of materials and finishes to suit different preferences and budgets:

  • Wood: Wood shutters are ideal for a classic, natural look. They can be stained or painted to match your décor.
  • Composite: These are engineered from durable materials that resist warping, cracking, and fading, making them suitable for humid areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Vinyl: Lightweight and cost-effective, vinyl shutters are easy to clean and maintain.

Shutters can be customized in style with various louvre sizes, finishes, and hinge options. Some designs feature fully operable louvres, while others have fixed louvres for a minimalist look. The choice depends on your functional needs and aesthetic vision.

Customization and Installation

One key advantage of interior round window shutters is their customizability. Professional shutter manufacturers measure and craft each piece to perfectly match the dimensions of your unique window, ensuring a snug fit and a polished appearance.

Installation is a straightforward process, typically handled by professionals to guarantee precision. However, for DIY enthusiasts, many suppliers provide easy-to-follow instructions for self-installation. Whether you opt for professional or DIY installation, the result is a stunning addition to your home that will last for years.

Enhancing Your Space

Round window shutters are more than just a window treatment; they invest in your home’s style and functionality. They can be a focal point in any room, enhancing the overall design and offering practical benefits. Whether your home features a single round window or several, shutters provide a timeless solution that marries beauty and utility.

In conclusion, interior round window shutters are stylish, functional, and customizable for homeowners looking to elevate their spaces. Their ability to enhance the form and function of unique window designs makes them a worthy consideration for any interior design project.
