What types of custom window shades work best in Florida?

Cellular shades and solar screens perform exceptionally well in Florida’s climate because they’re designed to handle intense UV exposure while providing insulation. Cellular shades create air pockets that reduce heat transfer, keeping your rooms cooler and cutting energy costs. For maximum sun protection, we recommend dual-cell honeycomb shades with light-filtering or blackout options. Solar screens block up to 90% of UV rays while maintaining your view outside. Both options resist fading, warping, and moisture damage that destroy cheaper alternatives. Motorized versions work especially well in Florida homes with large windows or hard-to-reach installations. You can adjust them throughout the day to manage changing sun angles without the hassle of manual operation.

How do motorized window treatments handle Florida's humidity and storms?

Quality motorized systems use sealed motors and weather-resistant components specifically designed for humid climates. The motors we install are rated for continuous operation in high-humidity environments and include backup battery options for power outages. During storm preparation, motorized treatments can be quickly closed with the touch of a button, providing an extra layer of protection for your windows. Many of our clients program their systems to automatically close when weather alerts are issued. The key is professional installation with proper sealing and using marine-grade wiring where needed. Cheap motorized systems fail quickly in Florida’s climate, but commercial-grade components last for years with minimal maintenance.

What's the difference between custom made window shades and store-bought options?

Custom made window shades are measured and manufactured specifically for your exact window dimensions, while store-bought treatments come in standard sizes that rarely fit perfectly. Poor fit means gaps where light, heat, and insects enter your home. Custom treatments use higher-grade materials designed for your specific climate and usage requirements. In Florida, this means UV-resistant fabrics, corrosion-resistant hardware, and moisture-resistant components that won’t warp or fade. The installation process is completely different too. Custom treatments include professional mounting with proper anchoring for wind resistance and precise alignment for smooth operation. Store-bought options often use flimsy mounting hardware that fails during the first strong storm.

How much energy can quality window coverings save on cooling costs?

Well-designed window treatments can reduce cooling costs by 15-25% in South Florida homes by blocking solar heat gain and improving insulation. Cellular shades and solar screens are particularly effective because they create barriers that prevent heat from entering through windows. The savings depend on your window orientation, size, and current treatments. South and west-facing windows show the biggest improvement because they receive the most intense afternoon sun. Large picture windows and sliding doors offer the greatest potential for energy savings. Most homeowners in Watergate see noticeable reductions in their first summer electric bill after installation. The energy savings often offset the investment cost within 2-3 years, while the improved comfort is immediate.

Do you install window coverings for bedrooms that block light completely?

Absolutely. Custom blackout shades and room-darkening cellular treatments can block 99% of incoming light when properly installed. The key is ensuring complete coverage with no light gaps around the edges or through the mounting system. For bedrooms, we typically recommend blackout cellular shades or roller shades with blackout fabric. These provide complete darkness while maintaining insulation properties. Motorized options let you control light levels without getting out of bed. We also install blackout treatments for home theaters, nurseries, and any space where light control is critical. The installation includes light-blocking side channels and valances to eliminate edge gaps that compromise the blackout effect.

What maintenance do custom window treatments require in Florida's climate?

Quality custom window treatments require minimal maintenance when properly installed with climate-appropriate materials. Most treatments need occasional dusting or light vacuuming and periodic inspection of mounting hardware. In Florida’s humid, salt-air environment, we recommend checking motorized components annually and cleaning any salt buildup from coastal exposure. Cellular shades can be spot-cleaned with mild detergent, while solar screens may need occasional rinsing. The materials we use are specifically chosen to resist fading, warping, and moisture damage that destroy cheaper alternatives. Professional installation with proper sealing and quality hardware means your treatments keep operating smoothly for years with basic care.
