What Are Coastal Window Treatments?

Coastal window treatments are designed to beat heat, humidity, and glare and provide sun protection, while preserving your view to the outside. They are made from materials (such as uPVC) that are optimized for wet climates.

Factors to Consider When Choosing the Right Coastal Blinds & Shades

• Your Unique Coastal Decor: Want to give a heightened touch of coastal style to your beach home? Buy a tall, elegant, tailored pleated shade in a fair, neutral color such as a white sand tone. For a touch of visual interest, choose a fabric with subtle patterns like east-west stripes. If you want to create a contrast to ground the bright scene, go with black colored hardware.
• Humidity Level: Check the moisture content inside and in the surroundings of your beach home. To cope with heavily moisture-laden air, we recommend the vapor-repellent faux wood blinds.
• Day and Night Option: If you are looking for an option to switch between ample light and complete blackout, consider dual day & night fabric blinds.
• Maintenance Costs: To minimize cleaning costs of your coastal window coverings, go with blinds made from dust-resistant vertical or horizontal slats.

• Color: Greens, soft blues, neutrals, etc.
• Fabric: Choose damp-resistant fabric with looser or tighter weave to get the desired amount of visibility (view), light control, and heat-prevention.
• Design: Choose a rustic design with natural seaside textures.
• Valance: Consider adding coastal valance, beach valance, and nautical valance to soften the look of your coastal window treatment.
• Mount Position: Mount the shades inside (for a sleeker look) or outside the frame (for extra light coverage and to make your smaller window look bigger). Or inside flush mount (for a built-in look).

Recommendation

Does your beach house in the US have south-facing windows that receive direct sunlight all day long? If yes, we highly recommend weather-resistant solar blinds.

Solar blinds or solar roller shades would be an ideal option to reject UV rays, beat heat, and reduce glare. Plus they will provide privacy while maintaining your view to the outside.

These coastal sun shades come with various openness factors: 1%, 3%, 5%, 10%, or 14% for varying levels of privacy and view-through.

For maximum opacity and most privacy, choose a ‘solar roller’ with the tightest weave and a lighter, light reflecting color.

For a blend of beauty & functionality for your seaside lodge, select designer-favorite screen shades. They work equally well in all spaces, but beach home owners usually prefer them for their sunrooms, porches, and terraces.

Optional Upgrades (for an Extra Cost)

• Privacy and light blocking liners
• Wireless remote-controlled motorization for luxurious operation
• Smart home integration
