Why choose shutters for a round window?
A round, oval or arched window calls for truly made-to-measure shutters. The shutter is designed to follow the window’s contours, ensuring its distinctive shape remains visible rather than disappearing behind a rectangular solution.
Circle, oval or segmental arch
The curve is measured precisely at multiple points. The stiles, louvres and panel layout are then designed to preserve the original geometry and create a balanced overall appearance.
Control light and privacy
The louvres on round shutters remain adjustable wherever the construction allows. This lets you bring in daylight while limiting direct views in. The exact operation depends on the diameter, panel layout and technical construction.
Round shutters in the bathroom or living room
The room helps determine the choice of material. A wooden collection may be suitable for a dry living room; in areas exposed to moisture, we assess DeVo Hydro. For every application, we first check that the material and shape are technically compatible.
Fixed and moving sections
Not every round window can open in exactly the same way. Sometimes, a combination of moving and fixed sections is the best solution. This is documented in a technical drawing before production.
Professional measuring
With a round window, even a small measuring deviation is immediately visible. That is why we measure the diameter, depth, connections and reference points on site. Explore all special shapes →
Short answer
The essentials at a glance
With an unusual window shape, the geometry comes first. The shutter must follow the shape, remain technically stable and, wherever possible, preserve light control and use of the window.
Practical: Accurate technical surveying is essential for round, sloping and curved windows. Even a small measuring deviation is immediately visible in an unusual shape.
The choices that make the difference
Four points to assess before requesting a quotation
Exact contour
Curves, corners and sloping lines are measured at multiple reference points.
Panel and rail configuration
The internal lines must follow the shape logically and align with the straight section of the window.
Moving and fixed sections
Not every shaped segment can open or move in the same way; a combination is sometimes required.
Technical drawing
The shape is checked before production begins, as even a small deviation is immediately visible.
Avoid disappointment
Common mistakes when buying shutters
- Covering an unusual shape with a rectangle without good reason
- Using too few measuring points
- Requiring all shaped sections to move in the same way
From idea to installation
How a carefully managed made-to-measure process works
- Collect photos and approximate measurements of the windows.
- Compare material, colour, louvre size and operation.
- Have every window professionally measured at multiple points.
- Confirm the panel layout, technical details, price and schedule.
- Have your shutters installed, adjusted and explained to you.

Frequently asked questions
Why is a technical drawing important for this window shape?
Corners, curves and reference lines must be translated precisely into the frame, rails and louvres. Production only begins once the dimensions have been technically checked.
Is the same solution suitable for every window or room?
No. Special shapes that keep the round window visible. The window type, dimensions, installation position, material load and everyday use are assessed for each individual situation.
What does DeVo check during the professional site survey?
We take measurements at multiple points and check the frame, reveal, handles, opening direction, windowsill, available panel clearance, and the desired louvre and panel configuration, among other details.
How do louvre size and panel configuration affect the result?
They determine how many lines you see, how open the view through is and how practically the panels can open. The proportions in relation to the window matter more than one standard size.
Can I compare materials, colours and operating options first?
Yes. During your consultation and in the Oud-Turnhout showroom, you can compare current collections, colour samples, louvre sizes and operating options side by side.
Are measuring and installation included in the process?
Yes. DeVo guides the project from advice and technical measuring through to made-to-measure production, installation, adjustment and guidance on use and care.
