Find the perfect shades for your casement windows<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

So, you\u2019re looking to add some shades to a casement window in your home, but you\u2019re not all that sure as to what type of window blind you should use? Well, you\u2019re in the right place to find out!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, the ever-helpful DotcomBlinds team<\/a> have already spent some time looking into this for you and came up with a handy shortlist of 4 common types of window shades you can use on your casement windows.<\/p>\n

What are casement windows?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Casement windows are one of the most common types of windows you\u2019ll see in the UK and have been a mainstay of British home design for decades. Casement windows are made up of a large frame (often UPVC)<\/em> which contains a window panel on a set of hinges, the window panel can then be opened outwards (typically from the side of the frame, but sometimes from the top of the frame).<\/em><\/p>\n

Casement windows in the UK are typically opened with a handle which can either lock the window closed or be twisted to allow the window to be opened. A big reason behind the popularity of the humble casement window, is that they\u2019re typically incredibly energy efficient and are quite \u201clow maintenance\u201d and can work without trouble for decades!<\/p>\n

What are the best blinds for casement windows?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As casement windows are a simple and versatile type of window, it is incredibly easy to find blinds or curtains to use with them. As most casement windows will open outwards from a hinge on the side of the window, you don\u2019t need to worry about your blind interfering with the mechanism.<\/p>\n

There are however two factors which will require some consideration: Firstly, as the windows open outwards, it may be best to avoid \u201cno-drill\u201d blinds which fit into the window panel, as windy weather could pull the blind off the panel. Secondly, as casement windows have handles to open them, you may need to factor that in if you have a large handle or small recess space to ensure your blind can pass past the handle.<\/p>\n

Beyond taking the window\u2019s handle and outwards opening into consideration, you will have a free reign to pick whatever blind or curtain you think best suits the look and style of the space, but if you want to be pointed in the right direction, here are the DotcomBlinds team\u2019s top pick for shades to use on your casement windows!<\/p>\n

Roller Blinds<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Firstly, we start with one of the most versatile types of blinds, which can work well on almost any window \u2013 The humble Roller Blind<\/a>! Better yet, our Roller Blinds come with handy options to make them even better suited to shade your casement windows \u2013 In our finetuning options for most Roller Blinds, you\u2019ll be able to choose the roll of the fabric (allowing the fabric to avoid window handles) <\/em>and guide wires which will run the length of the blind (allowing the blind to stay in position whilst the window is open).<\/em><\/p>\n

As well as the practicality and versatility you\u2019ll get from a Roller Blind, you\u2019ll also have a incredibly amount of options to choose from, as we have 100\u2019s of plain and patterned fabrics (including Designer Prints<\/a>)<\/em>, as well as various control options, including your standard chain operated roller blinds<\/a>, cordless roller blinds<\/a>, remote control roller blinds<\/a>, and smart roller blinds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Venetian Blinds<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Venetian Blinds are another great option for shading your home\u2019s casement windows, giving you plenty of shade and light control, while also adding a touch of class to your home\u2019s windows. We\u2019d recommend choosing our durable Real Wood Venetian Blinds, or Faux Wood Venetian Blinds<\/a> which will both be hardy enough to deal with wind whilst the window is open.<\/p>\n

As well as the practical benefits of choosing a Real Wood Venetian Blind or Faux Wood Venetian Blind<\/a> to shade your casement windows, you\u2019ll also have a variety of colour options to select from (as well as the option of adding privacy tapes) <\/em>to ensure that your stylish new blinds fit with the existing d\u00e9cor of your home.<\/p>\n

Roman Blinds<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our next recommendation for a great shade to use on your casement windows would be a timelessly stylish Roman Blind<\/a>. Roman Blinds have quite literally been in style for the past 2,000 or so years, which means they\u2019re almost always a pretty good choice for shading your home\u2019s windows. We have a wide range of plain and patterned fabrics (including Designer Prints<\/a>) <\/em>for you to choose from, allowing you to find the perfect blind to match your style.<\/p>\n

As Roman Blinds<\/a> close from the top down, they\u2019ll allow for easy access to window handles, and as they\u2019re very slimline they can be installed at the edge of a recess so they hang away from the window\u2019s handle, making them a practical choice as well as stylish.<\/p>\n

Curtains<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our final suggestion for shading your home\u2019s casement windows is our made to measure curtains<\/a> which are a great window shade for almost every situation. Our curtains are available in a wide variety of colours, prints, textures, linings and materials, giving you plenty of options to find the perfect curtain.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re looking for a stylish shade for your home\u2019s casement windows that can perfectly fit with any existing d\u00e9cor in your home, a made to measure curtain<\/a> may be just the thing you\u2019re looking for!<\/p>\n
