Brandon homes range from 1970s block ranches to newer two-story builds. West Shore Shade fits roller, zebra and woven wood designer shades to each window. Our own crew handles every install.
Roller shades with a 3% or 5% solar screen suit most Brandon living rooms and lanai sliders. Zebra shades fit front bedrooms that need daytime privacy. Woven wood adds texture to dens and offices. West Shore Shade brings real fabric swatches to your free in-home consultation and gives your quote in person.
Brandon grew fast from the 1970s onward. Many streets off Bell Shoals Road and Lithia Pinecrest Road hold single-story block ranch homes. These homes often have aluminum sliders to a screened lanai. They also have wide picture windows that face the street. Some still have their original aluminum frames. Others have newer replacement windows with different depths.
Newer subdivisions add two-story plans with tall great-room glass. Each house type needs a different plan. A ranch home usually needs daytime privacy on street-facing windows. A two-story home often needs heat control on tall west-facing glass. Street-facing rooms in a ranch home sit close to the sidewalk. That makes privacy the first goal for those windows.
Some do, because older frames vary in depth. Many original aluminum windows leave little room for an inside mount. In that case our own crew mounts the shade outside the frame. A flat fascia or cassette then hides the roller and gives a clean finish.
We measure every opening during the free in-home consultation. We check mounting depth, slider handles and trim. Our Gibsonton showroom on US Hwy 41 sits a short drive southwest of Brandon. Call (813) 252-6813 to see samples in person or book a home visit. You can also start with a free in-home consultation at your Brandon home.
Every style is custom-made for your windows with chain or cordless lift. Here is how each one fits homes in this area.
Brandon great rooms with west-facing sliders take heavy afternoon sun. A 3% solar screen roller cuts glare and keeps the backyard view. Add a blackout roller on the same window as a double roller for movie nights.

Zebra shades suit the front bedrooms of Brandon ranch homes. Align the solid bands for privacy, or offset them to let in soft light. Easy Rise cordless lift is available on select configurations.

Woven wood shades add warm texture to a Brandon den or home office. Bamboo options such as Beach and Reed fit relaxed Florida rooms. Add a light-filtering liner if the room faces the street at night.
Woven wood details →In the cooling season, about 76% of sunlight on standard double-pane windows enters to become heat. That figure comes from the U.S. Department of Energy. Brandon ranch homes often have wide west-facing sliders and picture windows. Shading that glass in the afternoon keeps much of that heat outside.
The same roller, zebra and woven wood styles come motorized. Use a remote, a wall switch or your smart-home app. Every motor carries our lifetime motor warranty.
Yes. We usually mount a roller shade above the slider frame so it clears the handle. A 2-on-1 setup can also share one headrail across a wide opening. Our own crew measures the clearance during your free in-home consultation.
Many associations accept neutral colors on the street side. Roller fabrics come in whites, grays and beiges that usually meet those rules. Bring your HOA guidelines to your free in-home consultation. We will show swatches that fit them before you order.
Blackout fabric blocks light through the fabric itself. Light can still leak around the edges. The ZeroLux blackout system closes those gaps with an enclosed cassette, side channels and a bottom channel. We suggest it for bedrooms where full darkness matters.
We visit your Brandon home with real fabric swatches. We measure each window and talk through light, privacy and lift options. You get your quote in person during that visit. Our own crew then installs your designer shades, with no subcontractors.
