Imagine a bright, airy room with grand, towering windows that flood the space with natural light.
These windows can completely transform a home, creating a stunning visual impact.
But when it comes to dressing those windows with shutters, many homeowners face a practical dilemma: how on earth do you measure, install, and maintain shutters on windows that are difficult to reach or set high into towering ceilings?
At Shutters Factory, we’ve tackled these kinds of challenges for years, transforming homes by expertly installing beautiful window shutters, even in the trickiest of spaces.
If you’ve ever wondered how we handle such installations, read on to find out how our experienced team deals with the challenges of high ceilings and difficult-to-reach windows.
The challenges of high ceilings and tricky windows
For homeowners, very high windows or awkwardly placed windows are both a blessing and a curse.
While they let in plenty of natural light and add architectural drama, they’re far from easy to dress.
Here are some of the common challenges:
- Measuring accurately: Trying to measure a window that’s more than 3 meters high or in a hard-to-access spot can be a daunting task. Even the slightest mistake can lead to ill-fitting shutters.
- Installing safely: Without the right tools or expertise, installing shutters on these types of windows risks damaging walls, frames, or the shutters themselves.
- Maintenance: Once shutters are installed, you need to be able to adjust or clean them. High windows can make this process tricky, especially if they aren’t easily reachable.
While these issues might seem overwhelming for many homeowners, they’re no match for our experienced team.
How we tackle these challenges
At Shutters Factory, we’ve built a reputation for handling the most challenging installations with ease.
Here’s how we manage difficult-to-reach windows or windows in homes with very high ceilings:
Every project starts with a thorough survey.
Our team is equipped with ladders and specialized tools that allow us to measure windows accurately, no matter the height or shape.
We’ve worked in homes with some truly impressive architecture, and we always get the measurements right, ensuring a flawless fit.
Whether it’s a floor-to-ceiling installation or an arched window tucked high into a vaulted ceiling, we use tools and experience to capture every angle and measurement correctly.
Whether it’s a full-height shutter stretching up a large window or a custom-designed panel for an unusually shaped space, our team handles it with care and expertise.
And unlike companies that outsource their surveys and installations, we rely on our own highly trained specialists.
This guarantees a higher level of quality control and consistency.
The result?
Shutters that are fitted perfectly, operate smoothly, and enhance your home’s aesthetic appeal.
Take, for example, one of our recent projects.
We were called to measure and then to install plantation shutters in a home with impressive triangular windows that stretched up to ceiling.
These windows not only created a unique challenge due to their height, but they also had a very distinctive shape that required precise measurements and custom manufacturing.
Still, our surveyor measured the window with millimeter accuracy.
Our fitter then installed the shutters following the unique lines of the windows perfectly, transforming the room into a space that combined practicality with stunning visual impact.
The result was a home with privacy, light control, and an added sense of style — all achieved without a hitch.
