Florida attached housing types behind the measurements
Master-planned Florida communities mix detached CBS homes with attached product on the same window supplier catalog — townhome rows, villa pairs, and mid-rise condo buildings over retail podiums in urban infill markets.
- Production townhome row (2000s–present): front-loaded garage, 3–4 floors, repeated bedroom widths — common in Orlando and Tampa suburbs
- Villa / paired single-family: shared wall, separate lanai — same slider module as detached plans
- Mid-rise condo (5–15 stories): Miami, Tampa, Orlando urban infill — often aluminum or vinyl replacement windows, shallow returns on some units
- High-rise tower condo: floor-to-ceiling glass on premium units — may need outside mount or specialty rollers; HOA rules strict
- 55+ townhome/villa: narrower front windows, screened lanai options, architectural review on all elevations
- Florida HOA architectural committees frequently require white or neutral treatments visible from the street

Typical opening → blind size
Typical reorder bands for shipped Florida townhome and condo orders — measure each opening:
| Opening (approx.) | Order size | Room |
|---|---|---|
| 30"–32" | 29.5"–31.5" | Townhome front / stair |
| 35" | 34.5" | Bedrooms (repeats per floor) |
| 47"–58" | 46.5"–57.5" | Living / dining |
| 72" lanai slider | Roller shade custom width | Rear lanai / balcony slider |
Mounting by material & situation
Townhome jambs are often adequate for inside mount on newer impact vinyl — condo towers vary unit to unit. HOA color and visibility rules matter as much as depth.
2" faux wood blinds
View product line →The default whole-home spec on Florida townhome rows — white cordless 2" PVC, one SKU across every bedroom and front-facing window for HOA consistency.
Stacked-floor repeats — still measure each floor
Pro often usedTownhome plans repeat layouts floor to floor, but impact-window replacements and settlement can change opening sizes between levels. Do not copy measurements from the first floor to the third without checking.
HOA front-elevation color rules
Many Florida master plans require white or off-white treatments visible from the street. Submit a sample or product spec to architectural review when the community requires pre-approval.
Inside mount on impact vinyl replacements
Newer townhome turns often have impact-rated vinyl double-hungs with adequate returns. Measure depth at both top corners — some units ship with thicker frames that block 2" headrails.
- Min depth:
- ≈ 1½"–2½"
Roller shades
View product line →Rear lanai sliders, balcony doors, and condo living-room glass — light-filtering or blackout, cordless preferred on child-occupied units.
Townhome lanai slider
Pro often usedSame mounting logic as detached production homes — fascia above the slider header, measure exact glass size. Screened lanais mount inside the conditioned space.
Condo balcony slider
Pro often usedMid-rise units may have aluminum sliders with shallow headers. Outside mount or ceiling fascia when the wall above the frame is uneven. Confirm building rules on bracket penetration.
1" vinyl mini blinds
View product line →Budget investor spec on rental townhomes and condo-turnover programs — lighter headrail for shallow jambs on older stock.
Shallow condo jamb — inside or outside mount
Older condo units with original aluminum windows may have under 1½" depth — vinyl mini inside mount or outside mount on the trim face.
- Min depth:
- ≈ 1" clear for inside mount
When to hire a pro in Florida condos and townhomes
Townhome first-floor installs are often DIY. Third-floor long drops, condo tower access rules (elevator reservations, COI requirements), and HOA photo submissions push many owners toward a local installer. We ship custom-cut blinds nationwide; pro install is DFW-only. Provide your installer our SKU list and mount notes — especially for balcony sliders where building management may restrict drill times.
Frequently asked questions
Do Florida HOAs restrict blind colors?
Many master-planned communities require white or off-white window treatments visible from the street. High-rise condos may have stricter rules on balcony-facing treatments. Check your architectural review guidelines before ordering colored faux wood or fabric.
Are townhome windows the same on every floor?
Floorplans repeat, but impact-window replacements, settlement, and elevation options change openings between levels. Measure each floor separately — especially on end units with extra side windows.
Do you ship to Miami and Orlando condos?
Yes — we ship custom-cut blinds nationwide. Provide a clear delivery address and gate or concierge instructions when ordering to a condo tower.
Do you install in Florida townhomes?
Professional installation is available in Dallas–Fort Worth only. Florida townhome and condo buyers typically hire a local installer; we supply sized product and SKU lists.
