Faux Wood Shutters for Coastal Homes

The closer your home is to the water, the more important it is to have window treatments that can stand up to humidity and moisture. Faux wood shutters are a good choice; when you opt for faux, you don’t have the concerns you get with real wood in terms of warping. Plus, shutters have a beachy feel—and you can throw them open to welcome in the refreshing sea breeze.

For coastal shutters that are made to take the heat, look to Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters. The polysatin compound in these shutters is resistant to moisture, mildew and UV rays, ensuring they maintain their luster without warping, cracking, fading, chipping, peeling or discoloring.

An added bonus? Palm Beach shutters are available with PowerView^® Automation, so you can adjust the shutter louvres with a remote, your smart device or with your voice (if integrated with a smart-home system).

Woven Wood Shades

The natural fibers of woven wood shades infuse texture into a coastal home and create visual interest in rooms that are primarily white—all while beautifully filtering sunlight.

Provenance^® Woven Wood Shades—crafted by hand from natural woods, bamboo, exotic reeds and grasses—are a lovely complement to any beach home. Of superb quality, the weaving techniques used to create these shades minimize stretching, bowing or breaking.

Solar Shades

As their name implies, solar shades are designed to beat heat and glare, making them ideal coastal shades. They also provide UV protection, all while maintaining your view to the outside.

Solar shades are available in a variety of openness factors—that is, how much light and UV rays can filter through the shade material, depending on the tightness of the weave. The tightest weave provides the most privacy (though fabric color also affects view-through).

Designer Screen Shades were designed to provide the ultimate in light control and UV protection, blocking the sun’s damaging rays. Available in five varying levels of opacity, they work beautifully in all spaces, but are particularly effective in sunrooms.

Drapery

One type of beach house window treatment you may not have considered? Drapery. With so many options in color, pattern and material, it’s easy to find drapery that complements a coastal home.

Pair a coastal striped drapery with a Roman shade in a warm neutral to elicit the sandy tones of the beach, or opt for a tropical blue to bring the ocean hues indoors.
