We design bespoke apex curtains for dramatic roofline glazing, triangular window shapes and architectural spaces that need a more considered curtain solution.
If your window is too tall, too angled or too unusual for an off-the-shelf answer, this is exactly where a specialist approach matters.
Ideal for sloped tops, tall glazing, dramatic gable shapes and triangular architectural windows.
Most apex curtain schemes work best with a custom track and a heading style chosen around the room.
The right curtain scheme should soften the glazing, frame the architecture and feel balanced in the room.
Apex windows are one of the hardest glazing shapes to dress properly. The slope, the height and the visual drama of the glass all change how curtains should be designed.
A standard curtain approach often feels wrong on these windows. The proportions can feel off, the track can look awkward and the room can lose the elegance it should have.
We start by understanding the shape, the room and what you want the curtains to achieve. From there, we guide the heading style, lining level, track direction and overall look.
Some apex rooms suit calm, tailored wave pleat curtains. Others need more softness, more fullness or a more luxurious visual presence. The point is to design around the room, not force a one-size-fits-all answer.
The exact solution depends on the slope, room type and how much structure or softness the space needs.
The easiest way to begin is to upload a photo and tell us a little about the room. We’ll guide you toward the most suitable curtain direction.
Different apex rooms need different curtain moods. These are some of the most common directions clients choose.
Best for cleaner, more architectural spaces where you want the room to feel calm and resolved.
A strong choice where more softness, formality and decorative richness is needed.
Particularly useful in bedrooms or spaces where glare, privacy and thermal comfort matter more.
Yes. Apex windows usually need a more specialist approach than standard windows, but bespoke curtain systems can be designed to suit the slope, height and overall architecture of the room.
Apex curtains are made-to-measure curtain solutions designed for sloped, triangular or sharply angled windows. They are usually paired with a custom track and a tailored heading style.
Yes. Depending on the room and the shape of the glazing, apex curtains can be designed with privacy linings, blackout linings or thermal interlinings to improve comfort and control light.
Yes. They are particularly effective in dramatic spaces where the glazing is a major feature. The right curtain scheme helps soften the room while still respecting the architecture.

Apex window answers
Apex windows combine shape, height and installation constraints, so the best answer usually comes from treating the curtain, track and fixing method as one system.
Made-to-measure curtains on a track planned around the slope are usually the strongest option. The heading, fullness and lining should be chosen around the window geometry, room use and how much privacy, blackout or thermal comfort is needed.
Yes. A specialist track can be planned to follow an angled or sloping line where the structure and fixing points allow it. The track route, curtain heading and stacking position need to be designed together so the finished curtain hangs cleanly.
Yes. Blackout lining can be specified for apex curtains, although the overall result also depends on the window shape, track position and any light gaps around the edges. Bedrooms often need these details considered from the start rather than treating lining as an afterthought.
Curtains are often the more flexible solution for large, angled and dramatic apex glazing because they can follow the architecture while adding softness, privacy and insulation. Blinds may suit some shapes, but the practical limits increase as the window becomes taller or more complex.
The useful measurements go beyond width and height. The slope, side heights, peak position, proposed track line, fixing surface, floor level and stacking space all matter. For complex or high windows, a site measure is usually the safest basis for the final design.
High installations are planned around safe access, suitable fixing points and the weight of the track and curtains. The access method depends on the building and height, so installation planning should happen alongside the curtain and track design rather than after manufacture.
Complete the curtain specification
The window shape is only one part of the design. The finished result also depends on how the curtain is headed, what it is made from, how it is lined and which finishing details are used.
