Treasure Island mixes Gulf-front condos, Sunset Beach cottages and canal homes on the bay-side isles. West Shore Shade fits roller, zebra and woven wood designer shades for each kind of home.
Roller shades with 3% or 5% solar screen fabric suit most Treasure Island canal homes. They cut glare off the water and keep the dock in view. Zebra shades work well in bedrooms. West Shore Shade brings real swatches to your free in-home consultation and installs with our own crew.
Treasure Island is known for its wide, open beach. Condos and motels line the Gulf side of Gulf Boulevard. West-facing units take long hours of afternoon sun.
Across Gulf Boulevard, the bay-side isles hold many canal homes. Isle of Capri, Isle of Palms and Paradise Island all sit on the waters of Boca Ciega Bay. Water reflects light into rooms from below, not just from above. Many of these homes have wide sliders facing the dock and pool.
Older one-story ranch homes on the isles are giving way to raised new builds. These newer homes often have tall windows and large glass doors on the living level. A 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 roller shade covers a wide opening on one headrail.
The Treasure Island Causeway links the island to St. Petersburg. Homes near it face open bay water to the east. Those rooms see strong light soon after sunrise. A blackout roller shade or a double roller suits bedrooms on that side. Living areas do well with a 5% solar screen that keeps the view.
At the south tip, Sunset Beach has smaller homes on quiet streets. Rooms here face the Gulf, Blind Pass or the bay. Woven wood shades suit the relaxed cottage look. A liner adds night privacy for homes close to the beach path.
Every style is custom-made for your windows with chain or cordless lift. Here is how each one fits homes in this area.
Canal glare bounces up into Treasure Island living rooms all afternoon. A 3% or 5% solar screen roller shade cuts that glare and keeps your water view. A 3-inch Square cassette gives a tidy finish on new-build windows.

Zebra shades suit Treasure Island bedrooms that face a neighbor across a narrow lot. Shift the bands for soft light by day and privacy by night. Dim-out fabric darkens the room, but it is not blackout.

Woven wood shades in Reed bamboo or Lake flax blend fit the beach cottage feel of Sunset Beach. Roman folds and edge binding give a finished look. Add a liner where silhouettes matter.
Woven wood details →Treasure Island homes get sun from the Gulf and reflected glare from the canals. The Department of Energy gives a clear figure. About 76% of sunlight hitting standard double-pane windows turns into heat inside during the cooling season. Shading west-facing and water-facing glass is a practical first step on the isles.
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, solar screen roller shades reduce glare that reflects off canal water. The fabric cuts bright light while you still see the dock. A 3% fabric suits most water-facing rooms. A 1% fabric adds privacy and cuts the most glare.
Roller shades fit most raised new-build homes on Isle of Capri, Isle of Palms and Paradise Island. These homes often have tall windows and wide sliders. A 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 headrail covers a wide opening. A double roller adds blackout for bedrooms.
No, zebra shades come in light-filtering and dim-out fabrics, and dim-out is not blackout. Dim-out zebra shades darken a room well. For a fully dark bedroom, choose a blackout roller shade. The ZeroLux system adds side and bottom channels to block edge light.
