Window Treatment Facts
florida living
Hurricane Shutters Can Reduce Storm Damage by Up to 70%
Proper storm protection isn't just about safety — it can dramatically reduce repair costs after a hurricane and may lower your homeowner's insurance premium.
Energy Efficiency
Cellular Shades Can Reduce Heat Gain by Up to 80%
Honeycomb cellular shades trap air in their pockets, significantly reducing the amount of heat entering your home through windows — lowering AC costs in Florida's climate.
Safety
Cordless Blinds Are the Safest Choice for Families
The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends cordless window coverings in homes with young children and pets. Our motorized and cordless systems eliminate cord entanglement risks entirely.
Home Value
Plantation Shutters Can Increase Home Resale Value
Real estate experts consistently list plantation shutters among the top window treatment investments, often returning more than their cost in increased property value.
UV Protection
Window Treatments Block Up to 99% of Harmful UV Rays
Without window coverings, UV rays can fade furniture, flooring, and artwork in as little as a few months. Quality shades and shutters protect your interior investments year-round.
Motorization
Smart Blinds Can Save Up to 15% on Energy Bills
Programmed motorized shades that open and close on schedules optimized for sun position can meaningfully reduce heating and cooling costs throughout the year.
Materials
Faux Wood Outperforms Real Wood in Humid Climates
In Florida's humidity, faux wood blinds resist warping, cracking, and moisture damage far better than real wood — making them the smarter choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and coastal homes.
Custom Sizing
No Window is Too Large, Small, or Oddly Shaped
Bay windows, skylights, arched windows, and oversized commercial windows are all within our capability. Every treatment we make is custom-cut and built to your exact specifications.
