bay window treatment

last month

We’re so close to the end of the project. Today, the plantation shutters were to be installed. The shutters company measured after the window was installed. The installation person explained that they wont work due to the crank from the casement window.
Has anyone run into this and can recommend a fix?

I haven’t encountered this situation before and am not an expert in shutter installation. However, my suggestion would be to reach out to the shutter company first to clarify the issue with the crank. Ideally, this should have been considered and discussed prior to placing the order.

The owner of the shutter company measured the window with crank and all. Since writing my original post, she requested to meet tomorrow with the installer and us as they think they came up with a solution. Here’s hoping🤞

You should post pictures of the window with the old shades removed, no glare, and the pictures oriented properly.

What bay window treatments can fit over baseboard heaters?
Q

We have hot water baseboard heaters and have full length curtains in front of portions of them (although the rod is far out enough that the curtains aren't actually touching the baseboards). From what I understand, electric baseboard heaters are the one to watch out for. Our baseboards don't get hot enough to melt or ignite fabric. One thing you will want to watch out for (if you want to keep the curtains closed) is that the curtains don't cover too much of the baseboards, or else you'll be wasting energy that goes to heating your windows instead of the room.

Years ago a 'key' was available to replace cranks for just this situation.

You can replace the cranks with smaller, butterfly style ones if that helps. I did it myself
