Siesta Key's white sand and open Gulf create intense glare. West Shore Shade fits roller, zebra and woven wood designer shades. We serve condos, beach homes and vacation rentals on the key.
Use solar screen roller shades on Gulf-facing glass in your Siesta Key condo. A 1% or 3% fabric cuts glare from white sand and open water. It still shows the beach view. West Shore Shade brings real fabric swatches to a free in-home consultation and installs with our own crew.
Siesta Key is known for its fine white quartz sand. That sand reflects a lot of sunlight. Gulf-facing condos and homes get glare from the water and the beach. Lower openness solar screens, like 1% or 3%, handle this bright light best.
The key has a mix of beachfront condo towers, low-rise complexes and single-family homes. Some homes sit along canals and the bay side near Midnight Pass Road. Condos often have wide sliders to a balcony. Homes on the bay side may get more glare in the morning. Gulf-facing units take the strongest sun in the late afternoon.
Many condo associations on the key set rules for window coverings seen from outside. A white or neutral back side often fits. Bring your rules to your free in-home consultation. We will check fabric options against them. Many units are also vacation rentals. Simple cordless controls and blackout bedrooms help guests. Clear controls also mean fewer calls from renters.
Salt air and sand reach most windows on the key. Roller shades with an enclosed cassette help protect the fabric roll. Smooth roller fabrics wipe clean. Our own crew handles every install, and we can work around rental bookings. We can also meet your property manager at the unit. Your quote comes in person at the free in-home consultation.
Every style is custom-made for your windows with chain or cordless lift. Here is how each one fits homes in this area.
Roller shades are the top choice for Gulf-facing glass on Siesta Key. A 1% or 3% solar screen handles the glare off white sand and water. An enclosed cassette helps keep salt and sand off the roll.

Zebra shades give Siesta Key condos flexible privacy on balconies and walkways. Adjust the sheer and solid bands as the light shifts. Dim-out fabric darkens rooms but is not blackout.

Woven wood shades bring a relaxed coastal feel to key cottages and condos. Bamboo and reed weaves suit beach decor. Add a liner where units sit close to neighbors.
Woven wood details →White sand and open Gulf water make Siesta Key one of the brightest places to live. The U.S. Department of Energy puts a number on it. In the cooling season, about 76% of sunlight on standard double-pane windows enters as heat. Solar screen roller shades block part of that sun at the glass.
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.
Many condo associations on Siesta Key do have rules for window coverings seen from outside. The rules often require a white or neutral back side. Bring your rules to your free in-home consultation. We will show fabrics that fit them.
A 1% or 3% openness works best for most Gulf-facing windows on the key. Lower openness cuts more glare and gives more privacy. A 5% or 10% fabric shows more view. We bring real swatches to test at your glass.
