Window treatments and motorized shades in Jupiter
Jupiter homes live on the water: the river, the Intracoastal, the inlet and the ocean. We take on select Jupiter projects where motorized shades, solar screens and drapery make a real difference.
“Day and night, we control the light”
Water on every side
Window treatments in Jupiter are mostly about glare. Between the Loxahatchee River, the Intracoastal and the beaches, a great many homes look across open water, and water throws sunlight back into the house at angles a roof overhang cannot stop.
Homes around the inlet near the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse and in communities like Admirals Cove have docks, wide rear glass and a close connection to the outdoors. Solar screen shades are the starting point, chosen by openness so the boats and the water stay in view. Exterior shades go on porches and pool cabanas that take the afternoon sun.
Away from the water, Jupiter has newer neighborhoods with family homes and open plans. Those houses benefit from motorized drapery in the great room and blackout shades upstairs, all running on their own from Lutron or Hunter Douglas PowerView.
Because Jupiter projects involve more travel, we prepare more before the first visit. Send photos and rough window sizes ahead of time, and we arrive with the fabrics and motor options that fit, so the consultation turns into decisions instead of a first look.
- Glare control that keeps the view
- Fabrics suited to salt air
- Exterior shades for porches
- Selective, well-planned projects

What Jupiter homeowners choose most
For waterfront Jupiter homes, these three cover nearly every room from the dock to the bedroom.
Nearby project
Close to home in North Palm Beach
Our closest finished project to Jupiter is a Lost Tree Village condo, a short drive south. It pairs custom drapery with Lutron automation, a combination we would recommend for most waterfront living rooms in Jupiter. Below it are exterior shade installs from elsewhere in our service area.
Exterior shades
Built for the waterfront
Coastal homes put extra stress on fabric, motors and hardware, and we choose with that in mind.
Salt and sun
Near the inlet and the beach, salt air reaches inside. We favor solution-dyed Sunbrella for porches and fade-resistant fabrics indoors.
Storm season
Outdoor shades need to come up before high winds. A wind sensor retracts them automatically, and we show you how the system behaves before we leave.
East-facing bedrooms
Upstairs rooms that face the ocean see sun at dawn. Blackout roller shades or Duette shades with a room-darkening fabric let everyone sleep past sunrise.
Getting to Jupiter
Planned trips up north
Jupiter is a longer drive from our Coral Springs showroom than any other city we serve.
We plan Jupiter projects with that in mind: one well-prepared consultation with samples, precise measurements, and an installation scheduled for the full crew. Owners heading south for the day are welcome to visit the showroom and narrow choices down first.
Hours
Mon to Fri, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Evenings and Saturdays by appointment.
We're proud of our work. Read our reviews.
Great experience! I purchased a new home and the window shades were broken and not working correctly. I reached out to them for help in repairing the broken parts. They came the next morning and not only fixed the two broken window, shades, but double checked every other window, shade and fixed other issues. Wonderful customer service!
Solun is our trusted provider. The team is responsive and excellent. Joseph's visit today is another example of the first class service, responsiveness, knowledge and customer care. He diagnosed and corrected multiple items within minutes. He always demonstrates care and attention to detail. He is our "go to" person and we appreciate his efforts and responsiveness, along with Matt.
The technicians who came to my home were very professional and they did a wonderful job with the shade. I would definitely use them again for any issues that I may have with other window dressings. Highly recommend.
Solun was very customer-oriented which is rare these days. They sent out reminders regarding my appointment and showed up to repair my product at the scheduled time. The repair people were pleasant and personable. When a solution was not readily available to solve the issue because of the age of the product, Solun came up with another solution. I would recommend Solun.
Jupiter questions
Do you take projects in Jupiter?
Jupiter sits just beyond our regular route, so we take on Jupiter projects that make sense for both sides, such as whole-home motorization, new construction or a full set of drapery and shades. Call (754) 529-8800 and describe the project, and we will tell you plainly whether we are the right fit.
How do shades handle the glare off the river and ocean?
Solar screen shades are the first layer. Their openness controls how much glare they cut, and darker colors give a clearer view out than lighter ones. We hang samples in your own windows so you can compare them at the time of day the glare is worst.
What should I do with exterior shades when a storm is coming?
Raise them. Motorized exterior shades are built for sun, heat and insects, not hurricane winds, and they do not replace your storm protection. A Somfy wind sensor can retract them automatically when gusts pick up, which helps on days you are not home.
