Custom Window Shades for Oceanside Homes

Window Treatments in Oceanside, CA

Roller Shades in Oceanside

Roller shades carry most of the work in Oceanside. The light here is the reason: mornings often open gray under the marine layer and then turn hard and bright by early afternoon, so a treatment that only does one thing disappoints by about two o'clock. A light filtering fabric at five or ten percent openness cuts the glare and the UV while the view survives, which is the compromise most people on this coast are after. We specify solution dyed fabric on west facing rooms, where the color sits in the fiber instead of on top of it and lasts years longer. Call (858) 338-1678.

Woven Wood Shades in Oceanside

Woven wood suits Oceanside houses better than almost anywhere else we work, because the texture sits naturally with the way homes here are already finished. We have run a single weave across a four part bay window so the corner reads as one surface rather than four separate treatments. The weave filters light rather than blocking it, so a room keeps its warmth through the afternoon. Where a bedroom needs to go dark we line them or pair them with a blackout roller behind, since the weave on its own will always pass some light. Call (858) 338-1678.

Cellular Shades in Oceanside

Cellular shades go into Oceanside bedrooms more than living spaces, often in the top down bottom up configuration. That lets daylight in over the top of the shade while the bottom stays closed at eye level, which solves a guest room that faces a street or a neighbor without making it feel shut in. We have fitted three windows in one room that way so they operate as a set. The honeycomb also holds a thermal buffer at the glass, which matters on the inland side of the city more than down near the sand. Call (858) 338-1678.

Blackout Curtains in Oceanside

Blackout is where Oceanside stops compromising. When a room has to be properly dark we stop talking about openness factors and specify an opaque fabric, usually mounted outside the frame so light cannot crawl around the edges. An inside mount looks neater and always leaves a clearance gap down each side, which is exactly where the morning sun gets in. On a vaulted ceiling bedroom we have run the shade outside the reveal for that reason, and the room holds its dark through a bright coastal morning. Call (858) 338-1678.

Motorized Shades in Oceanside

Exterior shading is asked for far more in Oceanside than in the inland cities, because stopping the sun outside the glass is the only thing that stops the heat before it arrives. The hardware lives outdoors all year, so salt in the air works on brackets, chains and motor housings long before it touches fabric. We specify exterior units for the exposure rather than pulling an indoor motor off the same shelf, and we route power properly with our own electrician instead of leaving a lead trailing down a wall. Call (858) 338-1678.

Awnings in Oceanside

Retractable awnings do a job in Oceanside that no interior treatment can, which is shading a balcony or terrace people actually use. We have fitted one under an upper balcony where the afternoon sun made the space unusable, running on a motor so it retracts out of the weather when nobody is out there. Sizing is the part that takes the time: the projection has to clear the furniture without catching wind it cannot handle, and the mounting has to go into something structural rather than cladding.
