Window Treatments for Longboat Key Homes and Condos

On Longboat Key, the view is usually the reason you're there, whether it's the Gulf on one side or the bay on the other. Coastal Shades and Shutters helps Longboat Key homeowners control sun and glare without giving up that view. We bring free in-home consultations and 10+ years of experience to condos, single-family homes, and seasonal residences on the key.

Keep the View, Lose the Glare

Light off the water can be intense, especially in the afternoon. Solar shades are often the first thing we suggest. Their screen fabric filters sun and glare while you can still see outside. Choosing the right openness lets you balance view, glare, and privacy for each room. See roller and solar shades.

Window Walls and Sliding Doors

Many waterfront condos and homes have floor-to-ceiling glass and wide sliders to a balcony or lanai. These openings work well with:

• Motorized shades that raise and lower a whole wall of glass at once. See motorized shades.
• Dual shades: solar for daytime, blackout for sleeping.
• Drapes or sheers to soften a wide expanse of glass.

Condo Considerations

Condo buildings may have association rules about what can be installed or how window treatments look from outside, and they may limit when work can be done. Check with your association before your project and we'll plan around its requirements.

Seasonal Residents

If you split your time between Longboat Key and somewhere else, motorized shades with app control can let you adjust shades remotely, if your system and home network support it. We can also schedule your consultation around when you're in town.

Coastal Style, Inside

Light fabrics, crisp white plantation shutters, and soft drapery suit the relaxed look of many island homes. We'll help you pick finishes that suit your home and how you use each room.
