Are their shades for triangular windows on gable ends?

Is there a type of shade that can be fitted in an East facing gable end with 2 large, right triangle, fixed windows? Keeping the morning sun out of the master bedroom is a problem for us when we want to sleep late. The shade needs be able to open and close from the floor of the bedroom and not from climbing a ladder.

Hi Mike
The only shades I know that will do this are shaped cellular shades. You will find they will only work from the bottom up because of the shape.

The answer to this is what we call in the U.K. a wand. It is just a long pole that you can use to pull up and down your shade without using step ladders.

If I were you I would do a local search for custom cellular shade makers and ask about the wand for opening and closing. I think this is the only kind of shades that will work successfully.


Best regards
