Understanding Local Regulations and How Our Shades Comply

 

Each of these coastal cities has unique regulations regarding light pollution during turtle nesting season. On Fort Myers Beach, property owners must use window treatments that reduce interior light transmittance to 15 percent or less, alongside other strategies such as rearranging fixtures and using long-wavelength artificial lighting. Similarly, Bonita Springs and Naples require opaque shades or window treatments that shield light from the beach with a transmittance value of 45 percent or less for windows visible from the beach. Our window shades not only comply with these regulations but also meet the toughest standards set forth by Fort Myers Beach, giving you peace of mind that your home is contributing to the preservation of marine wildlife.

Protect sea turtles and your view with our screen shades

At SunCoast Blinds, our motorized screen shades are the top choice for beach condos in Southwest Florida. These innovative shades beautifully balance unobstructed beach views with essential privacy and sun protection, making them an ideal solution for local windows. Crafted from durable fiberglass, they are designed to withstand the extreme heat and humidity that residents know all too well.

Our screen shades come in various opacity levels, including 5%, 1%, 0.5%, and room-darkening materials. The opacity you choose, combined with the shade’s color, will influence the amount of light that escapes from the interior to the beach. Darker materials will limit outdoor light visibility more effectively than lighter options. Unlike window tinting, which must adhere strictly to city regulations and offers a permanent, dark appearance, our shades can be easily retracted. This feature allows you to fully embrace natural light during the day while ensuring your view remains illuminated when the shades are in use.

Smart Solutions for Effortless Control in Every Season

Our innovative motorized roller shades integrate seamlessly with smart home devices, allowing you to control them from anywhere. With options that include room-darkening and blackout materials, you can create a comfortable and compliant atmosphere in your home. Whether you're enjoying the view of the beautiful Gulf community or if you're visiting up north, our shades empower you to make environmentally friendly choices that benefit both your lifestyle and the ecosystem.
