At RIT Window Treatments, we deliver our complete suite of services to these special islands: motorized shades on Siesta Key and Longboat Key, advanced Lutron lighting control with wellness-focused Ketra tunability, hand-crafted custom draperies, and timeless plantation shutters and blinds.
With over 70 years of family heritage in high-end drapery and a deep Lutron partnership, we’re uniquely equipped to serve the discerning designers, architects, builders, and homeowners who call these islands home. Our solutions preserve breathtaking water views, combat intense sun and salt air, and integrate seamlessly—ensuring every treatment and lighting system “disappears beautifully” into your island architecture.
Why Siesta Key and Longboat Key Choose RIT Window Treatments
On these barrier islands, where properties represent significant investments and lifestyles revolve around indoor-outdoor flow, selecting the right partner matters deeply. Many options prioritize technology alone or treat drapery as secondary—we blend both with proven craftsmanship.
Our generational expertise lets us speak fluently with local architects specifying recessed pockets for new bayfront builds, designers layering sheers and draperies in Siesta Village condos, and builders coordinating flawless finishes in Longboat Key Club homes. Island clients value our meticulous coordination, reliable coastal-grade solutions, and exclusive “What, Me Worry?” 10-Year Unlimited Warranty. The result? Systems that enhance island living without ever compromising on beauty or performance.

Our Proven Process for Island Projects
We tailor our collaborative approach to the unique considerations of barrier-island construction and renovation—often joining early through trusted local referrals:
Initial Discovery and Island-Specific Alignment
We explore your coastal priorities: maximum view preservation, salt-air durability, hurricane-rated options, integration with whole-home automation, and community guidelines.
Comprehensive On-Site Consultation
Covering Siesta Key’s village homes to Longboat Key’s bayfront estates, we measure challenging sliding glass walls, assess intense western exposure, and collaborate on layered solutions that maintain openness.
Detailed Planning and Local Trade Coordination
We generate precise drawings for recessed tracks, marine-grade wiring, and structural prep—working closely with island contractors familiar with elevated construction and wind codes.
Thorough Inspections and Supervision
We monitor key phases, ensuring pockets, electrical, and mounts withstand coastal conditions.
Expert Fabrication and Component Selection
Draperies are sewn in-house with UV-resistant linings; Lutron and Norman USA products are chosen for proven island performance (typically 6–8 weeks).
White-Glove Installation and Personalized Handover
Scheduled sensitively around island access, we install meticulously, program scenes tailored to your routines (beach sunrise, sunset cocktail hour), and provide full training.
This structured yet adaptable process, with frequent updates and client-centered flexibility, delivers results that feel effortlessly perfect.
Prioritizing Trust on Siesta Key and Longboat Key
Island properties carry premium value—and past experiences with unreliable systems, salt-damaged components, or installations that obstruct views can make new projects feel risky.
We lead with reassurance earned over decades. More than 10,000 installations position us as the partner island designers call to prevent problems proactively—or resolve them discreetly. Clear contracts detail every milestone; ongoing communication keeps you informed; our comprehensive 10-Year Warranty protects fully against coastal challenges.
