Why Rice Military Homeowners Choose Eyes on Shades
Rice Military’s housing stock is dominated by modern townhomes — three-story builds with open floor plans, tall windows, rooftop terraces, and an aesthetic that leans contemporary and clean. These homes present specific window treatment challenges that big-box products simply aren’t designed to solve: windows that start at floor level and run to the ceiling, hard-to-reach upper-floor glass, and interiors where every treatment is fully visible from every angle.
As a certified Hunter Douglas dealer, Eyes on Shades brings both the products and the expertise to handle Rice Military’s specific architectural requirements. We’ve worked throughout the neighborhood and understand what works — and what doesn’t — in these types of homes.
Motorized Shades for Rice Military Townhomes
Motorized window treatments are arguably more practical in Rice Military than anywhere else in Houston. Townhome windows on the second and third floors are often difficult or impossible to operate manually — motorized shades eliminate that problem entirely. Hunter Douglas PowerView® motorization allows you to control every shade in your home from a single app, set automated schedules, or integrate with your smart home system. Compatible with Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Control4, and Lutron.
Solar Shades for Memorial Park Views
Many Rice Military townhomes sit close enough to Memorial Park to enjoy green views — and solar shades are the ideal treatment for maximizing those views while managing Houston’s intense afternoon sun. Available in a range of openness factors from 1% (near-blackout) to 14% (near-transparent), solar shades reduce glare and UV damage without sacrificing the connection to the outdoors that makes Rice Military homes special.
Privacy Treatments for Ground-Floor and Street-Facing Windows
Privacy is a real consideration in Rice Military’s denser streetscapes. Ground-floor and street-facing windows in townhomes benefit from treatments that provide daytime privacy without blocking light entirely — layered roller shades, sheer shades, and top-down/bottom-up cellular shades are popular solutions we specify frequently in the neighborhood. Our in-home consultant will assess your specific situation and recommend the right balance of privacy, light, and style.
