Your AC runs less when cellular shades trap air in their honeycomb structure. That’s not marketing talk—it’s physics. The insulation works both ways: keeping cool air in during summer and warmth in when temperatures drop.
UV rays fade expensive furniture, artwork, and flooring. Hunter Douglas fabrics block up to 99% of harmful rays without making rooms feel dark or closed off.
Motorized shades through PowerView let you control everything from your phone. Set schedules so shades lower automatically when the sun hits hardest. Integrate with Alexa or Google Assistant if that’s how your home already works. You’re not adding complexity—you’re removing the hassle of adjusting blinds manually throughout the day.
We operate as an authorized Hunter Douglas dealer, which means you’re getting legitimate products with actual lifetime warranties. We’re not a franchise paying fees to use someone else’s name—we’re the company that’s been doing this in New York and Toronto for over 15 years.
Key Biscayne homes face specific challenges: salt air, humidity, intense sun, and the occasional hurricane threat. We stock and recommend products that hold up in coastal conditions. That matters when you’re investing in window treatments for a property with a median value over $1.2 million.
Our new showroom serves Miami-Dade and Broward County. You can see fabrics, test motorization, and understand what you’re actually buying before installation day.
You schedule a consultation—either at our showroom or your home in Key Biscayne. We measure your windows, discuss what you’re trying to solve (heat, privacy, light control, automation), and show you options that actually fit your situation.
We don’t push the most expensive product. If a mid-range cellular shade solves your problem, that’s what we recommend. If you want top-tier Silhouette shades with PowerView motorization across your whole house, we’ll make that happen too.
Once you approve the quote, we order custom-made shades built to your exact window dimensions. Manufacturing typically takes 2-3 weeks. We schedule installation when your shades arrive—usually a few hours depending on how many windows we’re covering.
Our installers handle everything: mounting hardware, motorization setup, programming schedules if you want automation, and walking you through controls before we leave. You’re not figuring this out from a manual.
Ready to get started?
Every Hunter Douglas shade we install comes with a lifetime warranty covering materials and mechanisms. That’s manufacturer-backed, not something we made up.
You get custom sizing for each window—not “close enough” measurements that leave gaps where light and heat leak through. We’re talking precise fits that look intentional, not DIY.
Motorization options range from basic remote control to full PowerView automation. Battery-powered motors work for most applications. Hardwired systems make sense if you’re doing whole-home automation or have large, heavy shades.
Key Biscayne’s climate demands fabrics that resist moisture and salt air. We stock materials specifically rated for coastal environments. That includes mold-resistant options for bathrooms and moisture-prone areas.
Installation includes programming and setup. If you’re getting PowerView, we connect it to your network, set up the app, and create any automation schedules you want. You’re not calling tech support to figure out why your shades won’t connect.
Pricing depends on shade style, fabric, size, and whether you’re adding motorization. A basic cellular shade for a standard window starts around $300-400 installed. Mid-range options like Silhouette or Pirouette shades run $500-800 per window. Top-tier motorized shades with PowerView automation can hit $1,000+ per window.
Larger windows cost more—that’s just material reality. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls or wide spans need custom solutions that reflect the complexity.
We give you exact pricing after measuring your windows and understanding what you need. No one can quote accurately without seeing your actual space. Anyone giving you a price over the phone is guessing.
Yes, but only if you actually use them strategically. Cellular shades create an insulating air pocket that reduces heat transfer. That works whether they’re motorized or manual—motorization just makes you more likely to adjust them throughout the day.
The real energy savings come from programming shades to lower automatically when the sun hits specific windows. Most people don’t manually adjust blinds multiple times daily. Automation does it without you thinking about it.
Hunter Douglas published third-party testing showing cellular shades can reduce heat gain by up to 80% in summer. Your actual savings depend on your windows, sun exposure, and how you use the shades. Expect to see some reduction in cooling costs—how much varies by home.
Authorized dealers like us provide professional measurement, installation, and warranty service. You’re also getting access to the full Hunter Douglas product line—not just what’s available for DIY shipping.
Online retailers sell limited styles and leave installation to you. That’s fine if you’re handy and confident in your measuring skills. But mistakes are expensive. Custom-made shades can’t be returned if you measured wrong.
The lifetime warranty only applies to dealer-installed products. DIY installations void certain warranty coverage. If something breaks, you’re calling us—not trying to troubleshoot with an online chat bot.
We also handle repairs and adjustments. Motorization issues, fabric damage, mounting problems—we fix it. That’s worth something when you’re investing thousands in window treatments.
A typical Key Biscayne home with 15-20 windows takes about 4-6 hours for installation. Larger homes or complex motorization setups can stretch to a full day or require multiple visits.
We’re not rushing through your installation to hit the next appointment. Motorized shades need careful setup—mounting brackets must be level, motors need programming, and automation requires network connection and testing.
If you’re doing your whole house, we usually schedule installation across multiple days. That lets us focus on getting each room right without turning your home into a construction zone for 10 hours straight.
Simple manual shade installations go faster. A single room might only take an hour. But if you’re investing in Hunter Douglas products, you probably want the motorization—and that takes time to do correctly.
Hunter Douglas shades aren’t hurricane protection—that’s what impact windows and shutters are for. But they’re built to withstand coastal conditions better than cheap alternatives.
The fabrics resist moisture, salt air, and humidity that destroy lower-quality materials. Mounting hardware is designed for durability, not just holding up a lightweight piece of fabric.
Motorized shades should be raised before a hurricane. You don’t want them damaged by flying debris or trapped in the down position if you lose power. The motors aren’t designed to withstand direct storm impact.
After storms, we’ve seen Hunter Douglas products hold up significantly better than budget options. The lifetime warranty covers mechanical failures, but not storm damage—that’s an insurance claim, not a warranty issue.
PowerView is Hunter Douglas’s automation system that controls shades through an app, voice commands, or programmed schedules. You can adjust individual shades or group them by room.
The system integrates with Alexa, Google Assistant, and most smart home platforms. Set schedules so shades automatically adjust based on time of day or sun position. Create scenes that control multiple shades with one command.
Whether it’s worth the cost depends on how you live. If you’re home all day and don’t mind adjusting shades manually, basic motorization with a remote might be enough. If you travel frequently, work from home, or want true smart home integration, PowerView makes sense.
Battery-powered motors last 1-3 years depending on usage before needing replacement. Rechargeable and hardwired options eliminate battery changes but cost more upfront. We walk through the trade-offs during consultation so you’re choosing based on your actual needs, not just what sounds cool.
