Window Styles and Types

Specialty-Shape and Arched Windows

Arched, round, half-round, triangular and other shaped windows made to fit unusual openings and bring character.

Shaped windows add personality. Arched tops over a row of rectangular windows, a round window in a gable, a half-round over a door-sized opening and a triangular window in a peak all draw the eye. They also solve a practical problem when your wall has an odd shape. Specialty windows are made to order, so they take planning, but the result can be the most memorable feature of a home. Homeowners in Nashville use them on entry fronts, stairwells and gables.

We start with a template or careful measurements, since shaped windows are fixed in size and cannot be trimmed. We choose frames, glass and grids that match the rest of the house, and we plan the lead time, since custom shapes can take weeks. Installation includes careful flashing around curves and angles, because water finds the weak point in a corner. We also help you match grids and trim so a shaped window looks like part of the house.

Made to a template

Shapes are cut to your opening, so we measure carefully and sometimes make a template before ordering.

Grids and details

Arched and round windows can have radiating bars or standard grids, and we match them to nearby windows.

Flashing curves

Curves and angles are harder to seal than straight edges, and we take extra care with flashing and sealant.

Lead time

Custom shapes often take longer to make, so ordering early keeps your project on schedule.
