Now serving the Eastern Shore
The window treatment shop Daphne bay-front homes trust.
Daphne sits on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay, directly across the bay from Mobile and Spring Hill. The town's defining feature is the Mobile Bay sunset over the western horizon, a view that drives most Daphne home design. Lake Forest is the planned residential community on the eastern half of town, with a lake-and-golf orientation. Olde Towne Daphne holds the historic core, with 1880s-onward Greek Revival and Italianate stock along Main Street and the bayfront blocks. The Spanish Fort fringe to the south brings in newer subdivisions with bay views from the bluff. Year-round indoor humidity runs 72 to 78 percent because of the bay proximity, which shapes our material spec.
Bay-front Daphne openings get poly plantation shutters from us by default. Salt mist from prevailing southwest winds reaches every west-facing window across the season. The afternoon sun off the bay is intense; we spec 5 percent open Hunter Douglas Designer Screen rollers in living rooms with bay view. For inland Lake Forest and Olde Towne homes set back from the water, basswood plantation shutters work well in formal rooms. Poly remains the right call for baths and laundry across all zip codes.
Our Daphne crews work the same Baldwin County route as Fairhope, Foley, and Mobile across the bay. Schedule the in-home measure.

See motorization options →What Daphne window treatments need
Built for Mobile Bay humidity and bay-sunset exposure.
Bay-front poly default
Mobile Bay-front Daphne homes catch salt mist from prevailing southwest winds. Poly Polysatin throughout for any opening within a mile of the bay. We will not bid basswood on a bay-front primary bath.
5% open rollers for the bay-sunset view
Bay-view living rooms in Daphne catch direct afternoon sun from across the water. Hunter Douglas Designer Screen 5 percent open cuts the glare without losing the view. Motorized with Lutron RA3 to schedule automatic descent.
Olde Towne historic louver matching
Olde Towne Daphne's 1880s-onward stock has 6-over-6 and 9-over-9 original double-hungs that want 3.5 inch louvers with divider rails. Painted basswood matches the trim.
Lake Forest gated-community workflow
Lake Forest is gated but has no engineering-letter requirement for interior treatments. We call ahead to the guard with the install date. Standard for us.
Eastern Shore pair with Fairhope and Mobile
Same Baldwin County route as Fairhope, plus Mobile across the bay. We can pair installs.
MR roller fabrics for bay-side baths
Daphne baths see year-round 75+ percent humidity. Hunter Douglas Designer Screen and Graber MR fabrics resist mildew on the bottom rail. Standard for us on Daphne bath specs.
