What Our Santa Monica Clients Say
“We installed solar shades in our Ocean Avenue condo and it was the best decision. We still get the ocean view but without the intense afternoon glare. The motorization makes it so easy to adjust throughout the day.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Will solar shades block my ocean view?
Not at all! Solar shades are designed to be see-through from inside while blocking UV rays and reducing glare. You’ll still enjoy your view — just without the heat and glare.
Are faux wood shutters good for coastal homes?
Yes! Faux wood is actually better than real wood for coastal areas because it won’t warp, crack, or peel due to moisture and salt air. It’s also more affordable.
Do you serve both residential and commercial?
Absolutely. We provide custom window coverings for Santa Monica homes, condos, offices, retail spaces, and restaurants.
How do motorized shades work with smart home systems?
Our motorized shades are compatible with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. You can schedule them to open and close at specific times, create scenes, and control them from anywhere.
