Replacement special shape windows are popular window additions in central rooms such as living rooms, dining room, family rooms and kitchens as well as in bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices and within hallways. They add distinction to any room and help to accentuate other window styles.
[edit] Sizes
A window arrangement that includes special shape windows may measure as large as forty nine square feet with a maximum span of up to nine feet. Smaller special shape windows may measure as small as one foot in diameter.
[edit] Materials
Special shape replacement windows are manufactured from vinyl, aluminum, fiberglass, wood and composite materials. Special shape windows are ordered as custom-made windows and are significantly more expensive than standard window shapes.
[edit] Glazing
Glazing options for special shape windows include windows with double panes for added insulation and windows with a Low-E coating which prevents heat transfer and helps protect the furnishings inside from damage from the sun.
[edit] Grilles
Grilles are also available, either installed within the panes of a multi-pane window or as clip-ons.
