Window treatments in Miami: what works, window by window
The short answer for a Miami home or condo, the windows we dress most, the climate behind the choices and the building rules.
Window treatments in Miami, the short answer. Most Miami homes and condos are best served in layers, motorized: a solar screen roller shade on the glass for glare, heat and UV with the view intact; blackout in the bedrooms, as a shade or as drapery behind a sheer; and sheers or drapery where the room wants softness. Battery motors suit a finished condo; wired motors suit new construction. Then choose moisture-proof materials for baths, kitchens and balcony doors, keep the street side white where the tower requires it, and plan the installation around the building's rules.
| The window | What it needs | What we install | Where we have done it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Floor-to-ceiling living room glass on the water | Glare and heat control without losing the view | Motorized solar screen, sheers on a track in front | Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sunny Isles: Loro Piana sheers on Lutron tracks over T-Screen 3% |
| Bedrooms | Dark mornings, quiet operation | Blackout shade, or blackout drapery behind a sheer, on a schedule | Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach: sheer and blackout drapery on Lutron Sivoia QS |
| West-facing tower glass | Afternoon heat | A light-coloured or white-backed solar screen, or a dual shade | Dark or light screen: the numbers |
| Oceanfront glass and balcony sliders in sea air | Humidity and salt | Coated solar screens, PVC verticals or Allusion sheer verticals, stainless hardware | Trump Tower III, Sunny Isles: recessed Crestron rollers in Mermet E Screen 5% White |
| Kitchens and baths | Steam and splashes | Faux wood blinds, vinyl or polyester roller fabric | Room by room, with maker limits |
What the Miami climate does to a window treatment
Morning relative humidity at Miami averages 78 to 86% in every month of the year (Florida Climate Center), and the average daily dew point passes 70 F by May 24 (University of Miami climatology). Coastal corrosion is highest within roughly 400 to 600 m of the shoreline (IMOA), which takes in the oceanfront towers from South Beach to Sunny Isles. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, peaking September 10 (NOAA). That is why we steer wet rooms and open balcony doors to coated or synthetic materials, and why a condo left empty in summer needs the AC or a dehumidifier holding the humidity down.
Building rules in Miami towers
Florida's condominium statute governs hurricane protection, not interior blinds or shades; the window treatment rules come from each association, and many towers require a uniform street-facing appearance, often white. Most also require a certificate of insurance and a booked service elevator before the installation; we handle both, and the exterior colour approvals, before anything is fabricated.
What are the best window treatments for Miami homes and condos?
Layered and usually motorized: a solar screen roller shade on the glass to cut glare, heat and UV while keeping the view; blackout in the bedrooms, as a shade or as drapery behind a sheer; and sheers or drapery for softness. Battery motors suit finished condos and wired motors new construction. Moisture-proof materials go in kitchens, baths and on balcony doors, because Miami mornings average 78 to 86% relative humidity all year.
How much do custom window treatments cost in Miami?
From our published price list: one 72 by 84 in motorized roller shade runs from about $833 on our Essential motor to $2,287 on Lutron Sivoia QS wired at Lutron's list price; custom sheers start at $95 per linear foot of width in a condo ($85 in a house); a 12 ft motorized drapery track is about $1,452, or $2,833 with a smart-hub motor, ceiling mount and lined drapery. All budgetary and before tax; we quote after a free measure.
Do Miami condo buildings have rules for window treatments?
Usually. Florida's condo statute (718.113) covers hurricane protection only; interior window treatment rules come from each association, and many towers require a uniform street-facing appearance, often white. Most also ask for a certificate of insurance and a reserved service elevator for the installation. We handle both and the exterior colour approval before fabrication.

Built for towers, glass, and salt light
Brickell & Edgewater Towers
Floor-to-ceiling glass is Miami's signature and its biggest heat load. We outfit residences at Una Residences, Cipriani, Aria Reserve (see the Downtown, Edgewater & Wynwood page) and across the skyline - see all 2026 deliveries and our Brickell & Coconut Grove page.
Bay Harbor & the Beaches
Boutique buildings from Bay Harbor Islands and Surfside to SoLé Mia (see North Miami & North Bay Village) and Surfside - HOA-compliant exteriors, service-elevator logistics handled.

What Miami towers demand
COIs & Building Logistics
Certificates of insurance, service-elevator reservations, freight scheduling, protected corridors - we handle condo building requirements routinely, so your install day is a non-event for your building manager.
Heat & UV on Floor-to-Ceiling Glass
A west-facing Brickell wall of glass is a radiator by 3pm. Solar fabric selection by exposure and openness factor keeps the view and cuts the heat load - and protects floors and art from UV fade.
HOA-Compliant Exteriors
Many towers require a uniform street-facing appearance. We match required exterior colors while giving you full freedom on the room side - approvals handled before fabrication.
Oversized Openings
Wide-width sheer goods and engineered paneling minimize seams across oversized oceanfront openings - fabricated to the millimeter in our own workroom.
Motorized shades for Miami condos and homes
Floor-to-ceiling glass is Miami's signature and its biggest heat load, which is why motorized shades are our most-installed treatment in Miami-Dade. Solar screens chosen by exposure keep the bay view while cutting the afternoon heat, blackout rollers in side channels give bedrooms true dark, and dual systems pair both on one keypad. We are a certified Lutron dealer and a Somfy Expert, and we commission shades into Crestron, Control4 and Savant.
The proof is on the beach: Turnberry Ocean Club in Sunny Isles (Sivoia QS rollers in Mermet E-Screen 5% with Sparta Twilight blackouts in side channels), a private residence at the Ritz-Carlton Sunny Isles on Lutron under HomeWorks QS integrated into Crestron, and Trump Tower III, where every treatment is recessed into the ceiling on a curved oceanfront facade. Battery-powered Lutron and Somfy WireFree systems install in finished condos without opening walls; for new towers we quote floor plan by floor plan - see Una Residences, Cipriani, Aria Reserve and every 2026 delivery.
Custom drapes and sheers in Miami and Miami Beach
Miami interiors ask for sheers first - wide-width voiles and linens that soften hard sunlight across an oceanfront opening - and our workroom sews them wall to wall with the fewest seams the goods allow. At the Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach we built ripplefold sheers and blackout draperies on Lutron Sivoia QS tracks across five rooms to the interior designer's fabric schedule; at Ritz-Carlton Sunny Isles the sheers were Loro Piana Interiors.
What do custom drapes cost in Miami? Custom sheers are $95 per linear foot of width on a manual track in a Miami condo ($85 in a house), because a tower installation takes longer. A 12 ft motorized drapery track is about $1,452 track only, or $2,833 with a smart-hub motor, ceiling mount and lined drapery sewn in our workroom; a motorized blackout drapery on a 16 ft track in a recessed pocket is about $3,691. Sheers, ripplefold, pinch pleat and blackout draperies are all cut and sewn by our five in-house seamstresses.
Ripplefold, pinch pleat, sheer and blackout draperies are all sewn in-house by our five seamstresses, on motorized tracks or decorative hardware, in fabrics from Loro Piana, Romo, Zimmer + Rohde, Kravet, Manuel Canovas and Christian Fischbacher.
Custom blinds, shutters and Roman shades in Miami
Houses in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Pinecrest and Miami Shores are a different job from a Brickell tower: divided-light windows, deep sills and French doors that suit plantation shutters, real-wood horizontal blinds and Roman shades sewn from the same designer fabrics as the drapery. Sliding doors to the pool get Allusion sheer verticals or zebra shades; baths and kitchens get moisture-proof faux wood. Every blind is custom-cut to the opening, and every set is installed by our own team, not a subcontractor.
Luxury window treatments for designers, developers and yachts
A large share of our Miami work comes through interior designers, builders and AV integrators, and we run it the way the trade needs: early specs, budgetary floor-plan packages for sales galleries, COIs and service-elevator logistics handled, and fabrication that hits the designer's schedule. Hospitality and branded residences - St. Regis, Ritz-Carlton, Fasano - are a specialty, and so are yachts, where the same salt-air discipline applies. See how we work with the trade.
What are luxury window treatments in Miami Beach? Motorized shades on Lutron Palladiom or Sivoia QS, ripplefold sheers and blackout draperies on motorized tracks recessed into the ceiling, fabrics from the mills designers specify, and one team that measures, sews, programs and installs. At the Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach we built ripplefold sheers and blackout draperies on Lutron Sivoia QS tracks across five rooms; the same specification goes into Sunny Isles, Bal Harbour and Fisher Island residences and onto yachts at the marinas.
