Free in-home consultation and measurement throughout the tri-county area — typically scheduled within 3–5 business days.

Why do you only carry Coulisse?

Coulisse is a 1992-founded Dutch family-run specialist that designs and manufactures its own textiles, mechanisms, and motors end-to-end under 1 roof in Enter, Netherlands. Because the fabric, system, and motor are engineered together in 1 factory, products hold up to Florida UV and 85%+ humidity with fewer warranty calls and motorized operation that runs below 30 dB — up to 15 dB quieter than standard systems.

Are Coulisse blinds child-safe?

100% of residential Coulisse products we sell meet ANSI/WCMA A100.1, the US child-safety standard. Cordless operation is built into the mechanism — not bolted on afterwards — and motorized Motionblinds have 0 exposed cords by design. 5 yr mechanism warranty, 2 yr motor-battery warranty, lifetime workmanship warranty on our installation.

Do Coulisse blinds work with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, and Matter?

Yes — certified for all 4 ecosystems plus Samsung SmartThings, and the Matter 1.2+ standard over Thread. Smart-home pairing is configured in under 15 minutes per window as part of every motorized installation. Acoustic performance verified in Coulisse's purpose-built sound lab with 64 microphones to IEC 60704-2-1.

What is the lead time from order to install?

Typically 2 to 4 weeks for made-to-measure orders manufactured in Enter, Netherlands. Stock-size items and Motionblinds motors ship in 3–7 days. We schedule the installation appointment at the time of order so the full timeline is known upfront — 1 visit to measure, 1 visit to install, 2 total touchpoints.

How much do custom blinds cost in South Florida?

Pricing depends on fabric, size, and mechanism. As a tri-county baseline: roller shades start near $450 per window installed; Motionblinds motorized shades typically $900–$1,400 per window installed including smart-home pairing; premium roman and curtain track systems $1,200+. We quote every project line-by-line in a written specification — no bundling, no estimates, no deposit required before approval.

Do you install motorized blinds that work with Apple HomeKit?

Yes — every Motionblinds motor we install is Matter 1.2+ over Thread native, so they join Apple Home without a separate hub or bridge. Pairing takes under 15 minutes per blind. Same hardware works simultaneously with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings.

What is the difference between roller blinds and roman blinds?

Roller blinds are a single flat fabric that rolls up around a tube at the top — minimal, modern, fabric-driven light control. Roman blinds fold into horizontal pleats when raised — softer, more decorative, heritage drape. Both available in manual and Motionblinds motorized. Roller is better for wet rooms and modern minimal; roman is better for formal rooms, bedrooms, and architectural spaces.

Can motorized blinds work without Wi-Fi?

Yes. Motionblinds motors include Bluetooth and RF 433 MHz radio in addition to Matter over Thread. You can control them via in-hand remote, wall-mounted switch, or voice assistant offline. Wi-Fi is only required if you want remote access from outside the home (phone-based scenes, schedules, geofenced automations).

Do blinds block hurricane impact?

No — interior blinds are not impact-rated and do not replace Miami-Dade NOA-certified hurricane shutters. Coulisse window coverings provide UV protection, thermal insulation, privacy, and light control. For impact protection pair them with a dedicated impact-resistant exterior product or impact-rated glazing.

How long do Coulisse motorized blinds last?

Expected service life is 15+ years for the shade mechanism, 10+ years for the motor, and 3–5 years for the battery (USB-C rechargeable, replaceable). Our 5-year Coulisse motor warranty and 2-year battery warranty cover manufacturing defects within that window; our lifetime workmanship warranty covers the install itself.

Which blinds are best for hot South Florida sun?

Solar-screen roller blinds with 3%–5% openness factor are the standard for south- and west-facing glass in South Florida. They cut UV by 95%+, reduce solar heat gain by 40–60%, and preserve outward visibility. For rooms that also need blackout at night, a double-roller system pairs the solar screen with a blackout fabric on a second tube.

Can I install Coulisse blinds myself?

Technically yes, but we don't sell Coulisse on a DIY basis — the 5-year warranty and the Matter/Thread commissioning require authorized-dealer installation. DIY Motionblinds sold through generic online retailers come without the dealer warranty chain and without smart-home pairing.

What warranty do you offer on installation?

Lifetime workmanship warranty on the installation, honored through us directly. On the product: 5-year mechanism warranty, 2-year motor-battery warranty — all processed by us as the Coulisse dealer of record. No reseller chain, no 1-800 queue in another state.

Do you work with interior designers?

Yes — about 35% of our projects are trade. We offer a design-professional program with sample loans, project pricing, textile library on consignment for the design studio, and direct coordination with Coulisse for custom specification work. Mention "Trade" in the consultation request to route to the trade desk.

Blinds Decor of South Florida — Coulisse Window Coverings, Measured & Installed

A measured practice — not a showroom.

Our work begins at your window, not in a showroom. A single Coulisse specialist visits the home, measures every opening to within 1 mm, recommends the textile and mechanism that answer the light and the room, and returns 2 to 4 weeks later to install the finished order. Measure, specification, installation, and the 5-year mechanism warranty all sit under one set of hands — yours, to one person, start to finish, across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach — 3 counties, 9+ tri-county cities, 1 accountable installer. Every Coulisse product is engineered, woven, and assembled end-to-end in Enter, Netherlands, by a family-run specialist founded in 1992.

The measure
A 90-minute conversation at your property, 0 USD, no deposit. We look at light angles, privacy lines, glass type, ceiling heights, adjacent fabrics, and how each room is used across 12 daylight hours. No catalogues are opened — just opening-by-opening notes and dimensions measured to within 1 mm, captured by the same person who will return to install. 1 visit, 1 specialist, end-to-end.
The specification
A written document, delivered within 3–5 business days: room, window, Coulisse product family (1 of 7), textile name and light-transmission percentage (typically 0–30%), color, control type — manual, motorized Motionblinds, or Matter 1.2+ over Thread — and honest line-item pricing. Nothing is bundled, upsold, or rounded. 0 auto-renewals. 100% line-item transparency. You approve at your pace.
Install & warranty
Lead time is 2 to 4 weeks from approval. We install, balance, and pair motorized blinds to Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, or SmartThings via Matter 1.2+ over Thread in under 15 minutes per window. Absolute Silence motors run below 30 dB — up to 15 dB quieter than standard motorized systems, verified with 64 microphones to IEC 60704-2-1. The 5-year mechanism warranty, 2-year motor-battery warranty, and lifetime workmanship warranty are honored directly — not through a reseller chain. 100% of residential products meet ANSI/WCMA A100.1 child-safety.
