Blackout roller shades in Hobe Sound, FL
Near-total darkness for bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms. Blackout fabric blocks light and helps keep the room cooler and quieter.
Bedrooms in Hobe Sound get hit by the sun early. East-facing ocean and river glass is bright well before 7 a.m., and a blackout shade with side channels is the only thing that keeps the room dark. We also install blackout and dual shades in media rooms, nurseries and guest rooms, and we can motorize them so a whole bedroom closes at bedtime from one button.
An opaque fabric stops light from passing through, for a dark room at any hour.
Early sun, streetlights and headlights stay outside the bedroom.
Nothing shows through, day or night, with the lights on or off.
Blocking direct sun through the glass takes a load off the air conditioning.
Blackout shades for Hobe Sound homes
Hobe Sound and Jupiter Island are quieter, larger properties: estate homes with long runs of windows, covered loggias and lanais, and a lot of fine finish work where the hardware has to disappear. We do a good share of designer and builder work here.
We install blackout shades throughout Hobe Sound, including Jupiter Island, Loblolly, The Medalist, Hobe Sound beach, Poinciana Gardens. Hobe Sound is twenty minutes south of our Palm City shop on US-1.
Where blackout shades make sense
Bedrooms are the obvious place, especially for shift workers, young children and anyone who wakes with the sun. Media rooms and home theaters use them to control reflections on the screen. Nurseries use them for naps. In Florida, they also do real work on east- and west-facing bedroom windows that heat up in the morning and afternoon.
How dark is dark?
The fabric itself is fully opaque. The light you may still see comes from the gaps at the sides of the shade, where it has to clear the window frame. For a truly dark room we can build the shade with a cassette headrail that closes the gap at the top and side channels that close the gaps down the edges. Tell us how dark the room needs to be and we will recommend the right setup.
A free in-home visit in Hobe Sound: we measure every window and bring samples you can hold up to your own glass.
Your blackout shades are built to those measurements in our shop at 3399 SW 42nd Ave, not ordered from a catalog.
The people who measured come back to install, test every shade and show you how it works.

Questions
Blackout shades in Hobe Sound: what people ask
Do blackout shades make the room completely dark?
The fabric blocks all light. Small amounts of light can come around the edges, so for a fully dark room we add side channels and a cassette headrail.
Are blackout shades good for the Florida heat?
Yes. Blocking direct sun at the glass keeps a room noticeably cooler, which matters on east and west bedroom windows.
Can I have a blackout and a light filtering shade on the same window?
Yes. A dual shade puts both on one headrail, so you can use either one.
Do you install blackout shades in Hobe Sound?
Yes. Hobe Sound is twenty minutes south of our Palm City shop on US-1. We measure at your home, build in Palm City and come back to install.
Is there a charge for the in-home visit?
No. Measuring and the quote are free in Hobe Sound and across our service area.
