Seminole Heights is known for its Craftsman bungalows, front porches and old oak trees. West Shore Shade fits roller, zebra and woven wood designer shades to these older windows.
Woven wood shades fit Seminole Heights bungalows well, since they match wood trim and older floors. Light-filtering roller shades suit bedrooms and kitchens. West Shore Shade measures every window, because bungalow openings vary in size. We bring real swatches to your free in-home consultation.
Seminole Heights lies north of downtown Tampa, along the Hillsborough River. It is one of the city's largest historic areas. Most homes are Craftsman bungalows built in the early 1900s. Front porches and old live oaks line many streets.
Bungalow windows often come in groups of two or three. They may be divided-light windows with wood frames. Sizes vary from house to house, and even room to room. We measure each window on site. We also check frame depth before we suggest a mount.
Big oaks and deep porches shade many front rooms. Those rooms may need less glare control and more privacy. Woven wood or light-filtering roller shades work well there. Rear rooms and additions often get more direct sun.
Many homes here have been renovated with open kitchens and rear additions. Newer back rooms may have sliders or wide windows. Those rooms suit zebra or solar screen roller shades. We plan each room on its own during your free in-home consultation.
Some streets here sit close to the Hillsborough River. River-facing rooms get open views and more afternoon glare. Solar screen roller fabric cuts that glare and keeps the view. Bedrooms on that side often add blackout fabric for sleep. A double roller puts both fabrics on one window.
Every style is custom-made for your windows with chain or cordless lift. Here is how each one fits homes in this area.
Light-filtering roller shades suit bungalow bedrooms and kitchens. A 3-on-1 roller shade covers a group of three windows on one headrail. Solar screen fabric fits sunny rear additions.

Zebra shades suit the open kitchens and rear additions in renovated bungalows. Align the sheer bands for daylight. Shift the solid bands for privacy from the alley or a close neighbor.

Woven wood shades match the wood trim and floors of Craftsman homes. Reed bamboo and Shady ramie give an earthy tone. Add a light-filtering liner for front rooms close to the sidewalk.
Woven wood details →Rear additions in Seminole Heights often catch the sun that porches and oaks block in front. In the cooling season, about 76% of sunlight on standard double-pane windows enters and becomes heat. That number comes from the U.S. Department of Energy. Read the DOE guide to window attachments.
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, a 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 roller shade covers grouped windows. Each shade runs on its own but shares one headrail. That gives a clean line across the group. It suits the paired and triple windows common in Seminole Heights.
Older wood windows sometimes have shallow frames or uneven sills. We measure the depth of each frame first. Then we choose an inside or outside mount. That keeps the shade straight and clear of the sash. Our own crew handles every measure and install.
Yes, cordless operation is available on eligible configurations. Easy Rise cordless works on select zebra shades. Chain and cord loop controls are other options. We review which windows qualify during your visit. Our own crew shows you how each control works.
Yes, we bring real fabric and woven wood swatches to your home. You can hold them against your windows in your own light. That shows how each fabric looks in your rooms. We give the quote in person at the same visit.
