What are Special Shape Windows?
Special shaped windows are windows that come in geometric shapes or have an arched design. The types of window shapes can vary from triangle to octagon to even a diamond shaped window. Special shape windows come custom-made to fit specific spaces. The perfect window in the right spot can change the look of your home. The possibilities are almost endless!
Custom Window Design Inspiration
A custom shaped window can open a room to more sunlight and expand views. You can custom design windows to fit in rooms with vaulted ceilings. The window can help make a room feel even larger. Homes that feature diagonal design lines can add custom trapezoid shapes to match dynamic lines. Traditional style home window design ideas can include arch windows and divided lites to maintain a historic look.

Picture windows
Marvin Replacement Special Shape Windows can span up to 56 square feet for true panoramic views. You can also pair our special shape windows together for eye-catching designs.
Triangle Windows
A triangle window has a variety of design possibilities. Custom triangle windows fit perfect in spaces with vaulted ceilings. When installed above expansive picture windows, triangle windows can create floor-to-ceiling window looks. Triangle windows can come in different shapes and angles for dynamic looks. They can also come in large and small sizes to fit rooms. Triangle windows are some of the best small window design ideas. They fit well in small rooms, like bathrooms. You can also maintain privacy with bathroom windows with our decorative glass options. Triangle window tinting is also possible with Marvin Replacement.
Octagon Windows
An octagon window makes a statement in a home. Homes often feature an octagonal window in an entryway for more architectural appeal. The extra daylight the window brings can make the space feeling warm and welcoming.
Octagon replacement windows also often appear in bathrooms. A small octagon window can add energizing natural light to help you start your day. Octagon shaped windows create unique looks and fit small wall spaces well.
Hexagon Window
Like octagon-shaped windows, hexagon windows add a unique style to a home. A hexagonal window has six sides and often have window grids to reflect architectural styles. Hexagon windows have historical appeal. They can also fit contemporary styled homes, too. Hexagon windows also get referred to as honeycomb windows because they look like a honeycomb. They are fixed windows, meaning they do not open.
Pentagon Windows
You can create special home looks with pentagon windows. The specialty shaped windows can have different designs. Pentagon windows can stretch wide and tall to fill a room. You can also combine pentagon-shaped windows for sweeping views and illuminating sunshine. Pentagon windows flanked with triangle windows can match rooflines for a creative way to add natural light.
Polygon Windows
Polygon windows can refer to triangle, pentagon, and rectangle shaped replacement windows. Polygon windows can create window walls so you can enjoy outdoor views. Polygon-shaped windows can pair above picture windows to accommodate eclectic home designs. They often get used as transom windows.
Trapezoid Windows
Trapezoid windows have two parallel sides and different lengths to create alluring home looks. Houses with sloping ceilings have trapezoid windows because you can custom build them to follow the roof line. Fashionable homes showcase sharp angles to create a sense of movement and trapezoid windows complement the look well.
Picture Windows
Picture windows can come in a variety of styles, shapes, and sizes. Specialty shaped windows, like octagons and triangles, are picture windows because they don’t open and close. Most often picture windows come as rectangles to expand views. They add sunlight to living rooms and other spaces. Picture windows tend to have bigger sizes to make them standout in a room. Picture windows help capture the gorgeous views you love from your home.
Round + Arch Window Designs
Marvin Replacement has an extensive collection of arch window design ideas. Special shaped windows include custom round windows. We boast 20 arch and round top shaped windows suited for a variety of home styles. Arch windows break up the straight lines of a home with elegance and grace. You can find round top windows in older style homes. Arch windows often fit above entry doors for extra style and curb appeal.
Window Glass Options + Energy Efficiency
The type of window glass you select makes a difference for your home’s energy efficiency. Window glass comes with microscopic metallic coatings designed to reflect solar heat. The coatings are called Low Emissivity (Low E). Marvin Replacement has four coatings options tailored to suite your climate zone best. Some coatings allow more solar heat to enter a room. Others reduce solar heat, making it ideal for sunny, hot climates.
Marvin Replacement also has window tint options for rooms that see more daylight. Window tints can help with glare issues and reduce the brightness of the sun. We also have a collection of decorative glasses that provide privacy while still allowing sunshine in.
