Solar screen shades in Hobe Sound, FL

Solar screen 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 solar screen 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.

Built for Florida glass

Solar screen fabric is a woven mesh with a measured openness, usually 1%, 3%, 5% or 10%. A lower number blocks more sun and gives more privacy; a higher number keeps more of the view. On a wall of sliders facing the pool or the water, a 3% or 5% screen lets you keep the view through the afternoon without the room turning into a greenhouse. We bring samples so you can hold them up to your own glass and see the difference.

Where we install them

Living rooms and family rooms with sliding doors, lanais and sunrooms, kitchens with a west window, home offices with screen glare, and condo units with floor-to-ceiling glass. Solar screens are also the usual choice for large openings where several shades run side by side, and they are easy to motorize so a whole wall moves together.
