Shaped Windows in Belfast & Northern Ireland

Shaped windows offer a practical way to introduce distinctive architectural features where a standard square or rectangular window may not suit the design of the property.

The Home Design Group supplies and installs shaped windows for homes across Belfast and Northern Ireland. Depending on the window system and opening available, designs can include arched, angled and other non-standard configurations, with fixed or opening sections incorporated where suitable.

What Are Shaped Windows?

Shaped windows are made in non-standard forms to suit particular openings or architectural features. They can be used to add character to a property, complement an existing design or make better use of an unusual window opening.

The exact shape and configuration available will depend on the dimensions of the opening and the window system selected.

Arched Windows

Arched windows are one of the most recognisable types of shaped window and can be used to create a softer, more traditional appearance.

Depending on the design, an arched section may form part of a larger window configuration or be incorporated above another window section. The available options will depend on the opening, frame design and specification selected.

Angled & Non-Standard Window Designs

Shaped windows can also be used for angled or other non-standard openings where a conventional rectangular frame would not be appropriate.

Each opening should be measured and assessed before the window is specified so that the shape, dimensions, glazing and frame configuration can be planned correctly.

Fixed & Opening Shaped Windows

Some shaped window designs can combine fixed glazed sections with opening sections, depending on the window system and configuration selected.

Where an opening section is required, the available operating style and hardware will depend on the shape, size and overall design of the window.

Double Glazing for Shaped Windows

Shaped windows can be specified with modern double glazing where suitable for the selected window system.

Double glazing can help reduce heat transfer compared with older single-glazed windows, while overall thermal performance will depend on the complete window specification, including the glass, frame, seals, hardware and quality of installation.

Shaped Window Colours & Finishes

Depending on the window system selected, shaped windows are available in a range of colours and finishes to complement different property styles.

Options can include classic solid colours and woodgrain-style finishes. Available colours and finishes vary by specification, so our team can show you the current range when planning your windows.

Security & Hardware

Where a shaped window includes an opening section, suitable locking and operating hardware can be specified as part of the window design.

The exact handles, locks, reinforcement and other security features will depend on the window system and configuration selected. Our team can explain the current options available before you place an order.

Shaped Windows and Other Window Styles

Shaped windows are one of several window options available. Depending on your property and how you want each window to operate, you can also explore our casement windows, tilt and turn windows, vertical sliding sash windows and fully reversible windows.
