Lakefront glare & heat
West- and south-facing lake windows take strong afternoon sun. Solar shades cut glare and heat gain while keeping the water view open and bright.

Family homes framing serene Palmer Ranch lakes. Plantation shutters, motorized shades, designer drapery, and premium window treatments professionally designed and installed for Mira Lago homes in Sarasota County.
Mira Lago is a gated community of single-family homes built around Palmer Ranch’s tranquil lakes, popular with families who want space, water views, and quick access to the Legacy Trail. The homes here are bright and open, with plenty of glass oriented toward the water — which makes glare and fade the central design challenge. We protect the view and the furnishings at the same time.
Our approach pairs solar shades on the lake-facing glass with softer layers for warmth and privacy in the evening. Family homes also need durability and safety, so we favor cordless and washable options in the busiest rooms — all planned in your home against the specific light each window receives.
