Commercial window treatments in Miami, quoted per opening
Offices, showrooms, hospitality, and condo associations that need every unit to match. We do the takeoff, quote window by window, and install with our own team, out of hours if the building requires it.
Some of our clients
Residential towers, hotels and design brands across Miami-Dade.
On a commercial job the fabric is the easy part
A house is one decision repeated a few times. A floor of offices, a hotel or a building-wide package is a different problem: one specification that has to survive approvals, a price you can adjust without re-quoting everything, an install schedule that does not tie up the freight elevator all day, and a written record of what went in so a replacement in year three matches year one.
That is how we quote it. One line per opening, one approved specification, and a single person on our side answering the phone from the takeoff to the handover. Our work has taken us into Four Seasons, Carillon, Aria on the Bay, 50 Biscayne, Roney Palace, Icon Bay, Canarias, The Ritz-Carlton, Aston Martin Residences and Continuum South Beach, into the Elia on the River restaurant, and into the Poltrona Frau and Oliver Gal showrooms.
What a commercial fabric has to be, beyond the color
In a house the fabric is chosen. On a commercial job it is specified, and three lines of that specification are the ones an architect, a fire marshal or a facilities manager will actually check.
Flame resistance. Contract interiors are normally required to use fabrics certified to NFPA 701, the standard for flame propagation of textiles hung vertically. We specify shade fabrics to that requirement and confirm the certificate with the mill for your submittal, so the approval does not stall on a document nobody can find.
Anti-glare openness. An office is not a living room: the target is a screen that stays readable at three in the afternoon, not a view. On a west elevation that usually means a tight weave in a dark color, which controls glare far better than a light fabric does, and we say so even when the palette pushes the other way.
Antimicrobial and cleanable finishes. Available on request, and worth specifying in healthcare, in gyms and in food service, where the shade gets wiped down on a schedule. Tell us the maintenance routine and we will quote a fabric that survives it.
Five kinds of commercial job, and what each one really needs
Offices
Glare on a screen is a productivity problem, not a decorating one. Solar screens at 3% or 5% openness, one fabric across the whole floor, motorized on the west elevation if the building allows it.

Condo associations and building-wide packages
When a board standardizes window coverings, the job is logistics: one approved spec, a price per unit type, and a schedule residents can live with. We quote it that way from the start.
For property managers →
Showrooms and retail
The window is the display. It has to control the light without hiding the product, and it has to look finished from the sidewalk as well as from inside.

Hospitality and short-term rentals
Blackout in every bedroom, fabrics that survive guests, and a replacement path for when something breaks in high season and the room has to be back tonight.

Designers, architects and contractors
We work to your drawings and your schedule, we quote per opening so you can adjust the specification without starting again, and we do not sell around you to your client.

- Site visit and takeoff
We measure every opening and record mount type, depth, obstructions, exposure and whether there is power at the head of the window. If you have drawings, we work from them and verify on site.
- Specification and a quote per opening
One line per window. That is what lets you value-engineer a floor, or drop a phase, without asking us to re-quote the whole building.
- Approvals
Board, property manager or design team. We hand over the specification sheet in the format they ask for, so the package is approved once instead of unit by unit.
- Production
Everything is made to the measurements we took. The lead time goes on the quote in writing, and on large jobs we can phase delivery so installation starts on the floors that are ready.
- Installation with our own team
The same people who measured, coordinated with the building over access, the freight elevator and the working window. Out-of-hours and weekend work when the space cannot be closed during the day.
- Handover and a documented list
You get the fabric and hardware list for what went in, so a replacement three years from now matches the rest instead of being close enough.
If a board is involved, this is the part that decides the job
Florida law lets an association enforce a unified exterior appearance across a building (Fla. Stat. §718.113(5)(c)), which in practice means the street-facing side has to read white or off-white. It is solved with a white-backed fabric: the color you want inside, white outside.
We build the specification around that rule before anything is ordered, and we ask the association for its window covering policy in writing. Doing it in this order is the difference between one approval for the whole building and a rejection landing on individual owners months later.

Frequently asked questions
Do you handle building-wide condo packages?
Yes. We quote a price per unit type, produce one approved specification the board can circulate, and schedule installations so residents are not waiting on the freight elevator all day. We also supply the spec sheet in the format your association uses for approvals.
Are your commercial shade fabrics NFPA 701 certified?
We specify to that requirement for contract work and confirm the certificate with the mill before the order goes in, so it travels with the submittal. If your project has a different requirement in the drawings, send it with the takeoff request and we will specify to it rather than to our default.
Can you supply antimicrobial or anti-glare fabrics?
Yes. Antimicrobial finishes are available on request and make sense in healthcare, gyms and food service. Anti-glare is a matter of openness and color rather than a finish, and on an office elevation we normally quote a tight, dark weave because it is what keeps a screen readable in the afternoon.
Can you install outside business hours?
In most buildings, yes, and it is often the only way to do an occupied office or a retail space. Tell us the working window when you ask for the quote, because it changes the schedule and we would rather plan it than discover it.
Do you work with interior designers and contractors?
Yes, to your drawings and your schedule, quoted per opening so you can adjust the specification without re-quoting the whole job. We answer to you, not to your client.
What is the lead time on a large commercial order?
It depends on the fabric and the volume, and it goes on the quote in writing before you commit. On big jobs we phase delivery so installation can start on the floors that are ready instead of waiting for the last window.
Can you match window treatments that are already installed?
Usually. We need to see them and, if you have it, the original fabric and hardware list. That is exactly why we hand one over at the end of every commercial job.
Do you motorize commercial installations?
Yes, on Somfy motors, and on a west-facing office elevation it is normally worth it. The TaHoma hub integrates with Control4, Crestron, Savant, SmartThings, Elan, RTI, URC and Alarm.com, so in a building that already runs one of those the shades join the system your integrator is using instead of arriving with an app of their own. See the motorized shades page for how battery and hardwired compare.
