Custom window treatments in Manhattan Beach.

Manhattan Beach, California

Window treatments suited to Manhattan Beach homes.

Manhattan Beach houses are built to catch the ocean. On the Strand and the walk streets of the Sand Section they stand tall and close together, often with the living rooms placed on the upper floors for the view, while the Hill Section and the Tree Section offer larger lots a little farther from the water.

West facing glass by the sea means brilliant light for much of the day. Solar shades reduce the glare without hiding the horizon, and sheers in a soft ripple fold bring movement and a measure of privacy. At street level, where passers by on the walk streets are only a few feet from the window, shades that lower from the top and café height shutters keep the room private and bright at once.

Salt air and open doors are part of life at the beach. We choose fabrics, finishes and hardware that tolerate both, and recommend motorization for the upper floor windows that carry the view.
