Custom Window Treatments in Malibu
Ocean-front window treatments that survive the ocean: glare control that keeps the view, fabrics that shrug off salt air, motorization for the big glass.
Malibu windows are the reason the houses exist, and everything we install here is judged by one standard: does the view survive. From Carbon Beach walls of glass to Point Dume ranch houses and canyon retreats off Kanan, the work is glare, UV, and salt air management that never makes the window smaller.
Distance is not a problem: Malibu is regular service territory, the measurement visit is free like everywhere else we work, and we schedule installs in blocks so PCH traffic is our problem rather than yours.
Window treatments we make & install in Malibu
Roller Shades
Clean, minimal, and endlessly versatile — from light-filtering to full blackout.
Roman Shades
Soft, structured folds in premium fabrics, including our signature Tulip fold.
Zebra Shades
Alternating sheer-and-solid bands that tune light and privacy in one pull — standard or blackout.
Solar Shades
Cut glare and UV while keeping your view — ideal for bright, sun-facing rooms.
Motorized / Automated Shades
Remote, app, and voice control for effortless everyday light — perfect for large or hard-to-reach windows.
Custom Drapery
Made-to-measure Pinch Pleat, Grommet, Rod Pocket, and Ripple Fold panels, sewn and lined to your windows.
Motorized solar shades are the Malibu default: whole ocean-facing walls dropping against the afternoon reflection on schedule, rising to give back the sunset, controlled from the phone that's already in your hand.
Every project also includes free in-home measurement, a free design consultation, professional installation, and repairs.
Window treatments built for Malibu conditions
Ocean-facing glass takes the hardest light in the county: direct sun plus reflection off the water, most of the day, most of the year. Solar roller shades are the backbone answer, cutting glare and UV while the horizon stays visible, and darker solar weaves counterintuitively preserve the view best. Motorization is near-standard on beach-front spans, both for scale and because salt-air hardware lasts longer when nobody is yanking on it.
Salt air is the second client in every Malibu project. It corrodes cheap hardware and punishes fussy fabrics, so we spec finishes and fabrics accordingly: solution-dyed weaves that hold color, stable linens and performance blends over delicate silks near open water, and lined construction that manages the humid-morning-to-brilliant-afternoon swing without hems wandering.
Up the canyons, the brief flips: privacy is nearly free, sun is directional, and the work is warmth and light-shaping for retreat houses, which usually means linen drapery, relaxed romans, and blackout only where sleep demands it.

Malibu window treatment questions
Do you offer free measurement in Malibu?
Yes, the length of the 90265: beach side, Colony, Point Dume, and the canyons. A specialist measures every window, evaluates exposure and salt-air proximity, and leaves a firm itemized quote with installation included. The drive is ours; the visit costs you nothing.
How do I cut ocean glare without losing the view?
Solar roller shades, chosen by openness factor: a 3 to 5 percent weave tames serious reflection off the water while keeping the horizon legible, and darker fabrics read clearer through than light ones. On the biggest spans we'll often pair them with a sheer or drape layer for evenings. It's the single most-requested Malibu solution and the one we install most.
What holds up near salt air?
Solution-dyed solar fabrics, stable linens and performance weaves, and hardware with coastal-appropriate finishes; we steer away from delicate silks and reactive metals within reach of ocean air. Lining and interlining also matter more here, keeping long drapery composed through the daily humidity swing. We'll be blunt at the consultation about any fabric that won't age well at your address.
Can you motorize a whole wall of ocean-facing glass?
That's signature Malibu work: banks of solar shades on Somfy or Rollease Acmeda motors moving as one, on schedules tied to the afternoon reflection, controlled by app, remote, or your smart home system. Battery motors handle most retrofits without wiring; new builds and remodels should talk to us before electrical rough-in. Tall spans get proper two-person crews and equipment.
Do you work on Malibu new builds and remodels?
Yes, and the earlier we're in, the better the result: motor wiring planned while walls are open, measurements taken as soon as windows are cased, installation after paint so you move into finished rooms. We coordinate directly with builders and designers, and our trade program covers the pros on the project.
