What is a trapezoidal window?
What is a trapezoidal window? This is a common question we receive at BCC Arched And Angled Blinds. A trapezoidal window is a type of specialty window characterized by its trapezoid shape, featuring two parallel sides and two non-parallel sides. These unique window shapes can be challenging to cover, but we specialize in fabricating motorized blinds that are fully operable and designed specifically for trapezoidal windows.

Measuring Specialty-Shaped Windows: General Guidelines
1
Measure the Overall Width
Measure the widest point of the window opening.
-
Take measurements straight across, from left to right
-
Measure in more than one location if the window shape changes
-
Record the largest width to the nearest 1/8 inch
2
Measure the
Overall Height
Measure from the lowest point of the window opening to the highest point of the shape.
-
Measure vertically at the center whenever possible
-
For curved or angled windows, note where the highest point occurs
3
Do I Need a Template for Specialty-Shaped Windows?
No — a physical template is not required in most cases.
For specialty-shaped windows, a photo or simple drawing with clearly labeled measurements is typically sufficient to capture the shape accurately. This approach allows custom blinds or shades to be fabricated precisely without the need for tracing or cutting templates.
Templates are generally unnecessary as long as:
-
Measurements are taken carefully
-
All key dimensions are clearly labeled
-
The shape is visually documented with a photo or sketch
This makes the measuring process simpler while still ensuring an accurate, custom fit.
