Specialty Window Installation and Replacement in Chicago, IL
Does your home’s layout call for windows that don’t fit the framework of traditional, stock window styles? At NEXT Door & Window, we specialize in creating and installing specialty windows that add character, charm, and functionality to your home. Here’s what you need to know about these distinctive window options.
What Are Specialty Windows?
Unlike standard window categories, specialty windows are custom-designed and come in non-traditional shapes and sizes. More than a square or rectangle, these unique fixtures can be crafted in various geometric forms to suit your home’s architecture as well as your personal style. Specialty-shaped windows can be installed as standalone features or combined with other window types to create a truly one-of-a-kind look.
Some popular specialty window shapes include:
- Circular
- Half-moon, or arched
- Triangular
- Trapezoid
- Oval

Ideal Locations For Specialty Windows
Specialty windows can transform various spaces of your home, adding both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Here are some strategic locations to consider when installing these unique window styles:
1. On Top of the Front Door
Installing a specialty window, such as a half-circle or elliptical design, above your front door can create a stunning focal point for your home’s entryway. This not only elevates curb appeal but also allows natural light to stream into your foyer without compromising privacy. It’s an excellent way to add architectural dynamics to your home’s facade and complement existing door styles.
2. Combination Windows for Architectural Flair
Specialty windows can serve as beautiful accent pieces for any room and its existing windows. For example, a small circular window in a home office can provide a unique view and break up the monotony of a plain wall with a singular, rectangular window. Similarly, a series of small, uniquely shaped windows can create an artistic display in a living room or dining area.
In rooms with vaulted or cathedral ceilings, specialty windows can be used to great effect. Large, arched windows or a series of uniquely shaped windows can draw the eye upward, emphasizing the height of the space and creating a grand, open feeling.
3. Sources of Light in Otherwise Dimly-Lit Places
Illuminate your hallways, stairways, and landings with strategically placed specialty windows. Tall, narrow windows or a series of small geometric shapes can create a striking visual effect while tastefully flooding these typically darker areas with natural light. This can enhance safety and create an eye-catching architectural feature.

Gave us great suggestions on window replacements. We love the picture windows and other suggestions he made. He is very knowledgeable and came to our house during the installation to make sure all was going well and we were happy with the windows and installation.
The installers were very skilled and knowledgeable. In my Family Room, the installer even took it upon himself to level the wood shelf under the window he was installing so the wood framing the window would be even and “look nice“ as he said. He didn’t have to put in that extra effort, but he did…he took great pride in his work.
Next Door & Window worked within my schedule and timelines. They are very professional. And Scott the salesperson inspected the installers work to make sure they were doing what they were supposed to. I have nothing bad to say about them.
Very professional, I enjoyed visiting the showroom and being showed around the shop to see how they prepare the windows for installation, and of course meeting those who run the show!
