Hunter Douglas Duette Architella Blinds

This was a great custom job to finish for our client.  The lower deck has Hunter Douglas Duette Architella blinds with  inverted cuts and tension system with a Top Down light filtered material.  We did the top deck the same way except we used a blackout material instead to keep the rooms dark when needed.

140′ Super Yacht

December 10, 2011 By admin

We turned this lady into a queen!  The Upper and Salon decks were done with motorized Silhouettes that were battery powered with wire retention systems.  We also motorized Roman shades that were not manufactured by us, proving once again that we can improve any product with our expertise.  The Master Bedroom also got roller shades motorized with a wire retention system.

An 80′ Ferretti

December 9, 2011 By admin

This was a fun project for us.  The salon was done with Hunter Douglas Pirouettes which were motorized by battery power, and included a wire retention system.  They came out fantastic and are one of our favorite products.  Downstairs we motorized some existing pleated and roman shades.

80′ Yacht – Hunter Douglas / Applause Honeycomb Top Down Motorized

December 6, 2011 By admin

This is an 80′ Yacht that we completed in 2011.  This project was different because it wasn’t a luxury yacht but rather a yacht used for expeditionary projects.  The client wanted privacy with an elegant look.  Fortunately, there was a lot of room to mount the blinds since our client wanted them motorized.  So we suggested 3/8 Honeycomb from Hunter Douglas.  The client also preferred a Top Down system, so we added a wire retention system to keep them in place when the yacht was traveling or in high seas. As you can see from the photos, light was able to filter into the salon, but was blacked out in the bedroom.

70′ Yacht – Hunter Douglas Top Down/Bottom Up Doulite on a Tension System

October 28, 2011 By admin

On this project the client had an ideal window treatment in mind.  They wanted Duolites from Hunter Douglas, and they turned out amazing.  Once the blinds were ordered we had to convert them into a tension system, which is an application for the yachting industry.  What this does is stabilize the blinds to keep them from banging around.  As we all know waves and motion cause even the largest yachts to move around in the water.  The tension system helps to keep blinds from flying around and damaging themselves and anything around them.

We love adding new products to our company product line.  So, if you have any ideas for blind products for your yacht please give us a call and we can convert them for you!

Custom Stained Wood Blinds

As  Nordhavn owners know…. the beautiful interior wood color is difficult to match on these vessels. We were able to match the color by adding additional toner to the wood.
If you own a Nordavn and want beautiful wood blinds to match the interior of your boat or different  products , please feel free to contact us. Our friendly staff is here to answer all your  questions.

We have just completed a job where we were asked to motorize some existing Hunter Douglas Silhouettes . Since the project manager did not want to start running wires thru the boat , we recommended battery powered motors. The job was completed in a week.
If you have a project  that you are working on , please give us a call for advise on how to proceed  and the different options  that are available .
