Window Treatment

Effortless privacy, glare control, and comfort on board

On a yacht, window treatments are about more than aesthetics. They manage privacy at anchor, reduce glare for guest comfort, protect interiors from UV, and help maintain a calm onboard atmosphere throughout the day.

We design and deliver marine window treatment solutions that operate quietly and smoothly, integrate cleanly into the vessel’s interior, and connect seamlessly with onboard control systems. The result is shading that feels refined for guests and practical for crew.

What marine window treatment automation delivers

A properly designed shading system lets you control blinds and curtains by scene, not one window at a time.

Typical capabilities include:

  • One-touch control of blinds, shades, and curtains by zone

  • Privacy modes for day and night operation

  • Glare reduction for lounges, bridges, and media spaces

  • Timed schedules such as morning open and evening close

  • Consistent control from keypads, touch panels, and approved mobile interfaces

  • Integration with lighting scenes and onboard automatio,n where appropriate

Designed for superyacht interiors

Yacht shading must look and feel premium, while also being reliable and serviceable. We plan for:

  • Discreet motor and track integration

  • Clean cable routing and service access

  • Quiet operation suitable for guest cabins

  • Consistent alignment and smooth movement over time

  • Control simplicity for rotating crew

We coordinate with the interior team to ensure hardware, fabrics, and finishing details align with the design vision.

Integration with the onboard experience

Window treatments become far more valuable when they are part of the broader yacht automation ecosystem, for example:

  • Movie scene closes shades and sets lighting to the correct level

  • Night mode sets privacy positions and safe pathway lighting

  • Morning routine opens selected areas gently without disturbing guests

  • Charter mode enables fast cabin reset and consistent presentation

The goal is a vessel that responds with one touch, consistently.

Our process

  1. Discovery and vessel review

    We align on guest expectations, cabin requirements, and operational workflows.

  2. Design and zoning

    We define control zones, scene requirements, and interface approach.

  3. Coordination with interior and build teams

    Hardware allowances, cable routing, service access, and finishing alignment.

  4. Installation and commissioning

    Limit setting, calibration, and reliable behaviour testing.

  5. Handover and support

    Crew training, documentation, and ongoing refinement options.

FAQ

  • Can you automate existing blinds or curtains on a yacht?

    In some cases, yes. It depends on the existing hardware, access for cabling, and whether suitable motorisation can be integrated cleanly. We typically assess the vessel and recommend the most reliable approach.

  • Are motorised window treatments quiet enough for guest cabins?

    Yes, when specified correctly. We select systems designed for smooth, quiet operation and then commission them carefully to ensure consistent movement and alignment.

  • Can window treatments integrate with lighting and yacht control systems?

    Yes. Shading can be tied into lighting scenes and broader automation so the vessel behaves consistently with modes like Movie, Night, Morning, or Charter.

  • Can we control multiple windows at once by zone?

    Absolutely. We design zoning so the crew can manage an entire cabin, deck, or saloon with one touch, while still allowing local control where needed.

  • Do you provide privacy and glare presets for different times of day?

    Yes. We commonly build privacy and glare positions and can automate them using schedules or scenes, depending on the vessel’s needs.

  • How do you ensure long-term serviceability?

    We design for access, document the system properly, and use proven methods that support future maintenance and upgrades, including global support planning where required.

  • What do you need to quote or start the design?

    Vessel drawings were available, window schedules, interior requirements, and clarity on the desired control experience. A brief onboard assessment often speeds up correct design decisions.
