For most households, windows come in more than one type — but the majority of window covering products on the market are designed primarily for standard rectangular windows.
If your home has skylights, arched windows, trapezoid windows, oversized floor-to-ceiling glass, or stairwell windows, you may already know the frustration of not finding products that fit.
And even for standard windows, choosing between roller shades, cellular shades, zebra shades, and woven wood options isn't always straightforward.
SmartWings offers six product series, providing a range of options for standard windows as well as custom smart motorized solutions for specialty window shapes. This guide walks through the options by window type to help you find the right fit for your home.
Standard Windows: Choosing from Six Product Series
For regular-sized rectangular windows, SmartWings offers six product series, each designed for different functional needs and decorative styles.
Roller Shades (from $159.99)
The most versatile option in the SmartWings lineup. Available in blackout, light filtering, and solar fabrics, roller shades work well in bedrooms, living rooms, home offices, and most other indoor spaces.
The design is clean and modern — the roller mechanism hides at the top, and when raised, the fabric rolls up completely, keeping the window frame uncluttered.
Cellular Shades (from $179)
Honeycomb construction adds insulation on top of light control. The cellular air pockets create a barrier between the shade and the glass, helping reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter.
A good fit for rooms where indoor temperature comfort matters, or for west- and south-facing windows with higher energy demands.

Zebra Shades (from $189.99)
Alternating sheer and solid fabric bands that shift to adjust light levels. When the bands align, light filters through; when they offset, the shade provides better light blocking and privacy — all without raising or lowering the shade.
A blend of function and visual appeal, well-suited for living rooms, dining areas, and other spaces where flexible light control and aesthetics both matter.
Woven Wood Shades (from $219)
Natural woven materials that bring warmth and organic texture to a room. SmartWings woven wood shades come in both light filtering and blackout options, offering privacy while maintaining a natural light feel.
A natural match for homes with earthy, Scandinavian, or rustic design sensibilities — adding depth and character to the interior.

Outdoor Shades (from $199)
Purpose-built for patios, balconies, and courtyards using weather-resistant materials. They help block sunlight and UV while maintaining airflow, keeping outdoor living spaces more comfortable in hot weather.

Drapery & Curtains (from $219)
A motorized take on traditional curtains. SmartWings drapery preserves the drape and decorative feel of conventional curtains while adding motorized open/close and smart control.
Available as motorized rod kits with multiple fabric choices from sheer to blackout — ideal for households that prefer the look of traditional curtains but want a smart upgrade.
Specialty Windows: SmartWings Custom Solutions
Standard products cover most windows, but some windows in your home may not be "standard." These are often the trickiest part of the buying process.
For these situations, SmartWings provides smart motorized solutions designed for non-standard window shapes, giving homeowners with specialty windows options that actually work.
Custom solutions for irregular windows are also one of SmartWings' key differentiators from most other brands.
Skylights (from $399)
Skylights sit high and at unusual angles, making conventional shades impractical.
SmartWings Skylight Cellular Shades are purpose-built for skylight installations, supporting vertical, tilted, and horizontal mounting. The four-sided aluminum frame seals edges to reduce light leakage.
Three models available: single-layer insulation (Hazel, from $399), double-layer insulation (Levitate, from $509), and Day/Night dual independent control (from $559).
Arched Windows
The curved shape of arched windows makes standard rectangular shades a poor fit. SmartWings Arched Cellular Shades are custom-shaped to match the actual arc of the window, achieving a flush installation while providing light control and temperature regulation.
Trapezoid Windows (from $389)
An increasingly common architectural feature in modern homes.
SmartWings Trapezoid Cellular Shades are custom-cut to the actual window shape, available in both light filtering and blackout fabrics.
Oversized Windows
Floor-to-ceiling or extra-wide windows may exceed the coverage of a single shade. If you have oversized windows that need shading, the SmartWings team can discuss multi-shade coordination options for your specific setup.
Stairwell Windows
High-mounted and hard to reach, stairwell windows are inconvenient to adjust manually. Motorized control with remote and voice operation makes light management practical for these positions. SmartWings roller shades and cellular shades both support custom sizing to fit stairwell installations.
If your home has any of these specialty window types, contact the SmartWings team to discuss your specific situation and receive a custom quote.
Smart Control: Integrating Shades into Daily Life
Regardless of which product series you choose, SmartWings' main product lines support smart control — and this is what sets modern window coverings apart from traditional shades.
Multi-platform compatibility
SmartWings supports Matter protocol and is compatible with Apple Home (requires a HomePod mini or Apple TV 4K as a Thread Border Router), Alexa, and Google Home. Also works with Home Assistant, Hubitat, and other platforms.
Voice control
"Alexa, close the bedroom blinds" or "Hey Google, open the living room shades" — voice commands make shade adjustment a hands-free, effortless action, especially useful when your hands are full.
Automation scenes
Schedule, Routines, Timer, Favorite Positions — let your shades adjust automatically based on time, sunrise/sunset, or living scenarios. Set it up once, and it runs on its own every day.
