The west-facing problem
Konyaaltı is the western side of Antalya. If you are looking for a curtain shop in Konyaaltı, you probably know the reason people move here is the view: the long pebble beach, the sea and the Beydağları mountains behind it. The catch is that most of that glass faces west. From early afternoon until sunset the sun comes in low and almost horizontal, straight onto sofas, screens and floors. A blind that simply blocks everything defeats the point of living here; the job is to filter the light.
Two more factors matter. Close to the beach, salt and humidity are hard on metal rails and fabrics, and the sea breeze catches anything loose at an open window. And almost every balcony, old or new, has been enclosed with folding glass, which needs its own solution.
Neighbourhood by neighbourhood
- Liman and Altınkum – tall blocks near the seafront road, wide west-facing living rooms. Screen roller blinds and sheers are the usual pair.
- Hurma and Sarısu – many newer gated complexes with pools, some owned as holiday homes by foreign buyers. Whole-flat orders are common: pleated blinds for the balcony, blackout in bedrooms.
- Uncalı – up the hillside, villas and complexes looking down over the city and sea, with some double-height living rooms.
- Gürsu and Arapsuyu – established mid-rise apartments on narrower streets, where daytime privacy matters more.
What we recommend
- West-facing lounge with a view: screen roller blinds keep the view by day while cutting glare. Add sheer curtains for evening privacy.
- Glazed balcony: a pleated blind per panel that folds with the glass and does not flap in the wind.
- Double-height or extra-wide glass: motorised curtains operated by remote – no more stretching at sunset.
- Kitchen near the beach: aluminium blinds that handle steam and salty air.
How sun, humidity and salt affect each material is explained in our guide to curtains for Antalya’s climate.
Choosing the screen colour
With screen fabric, colour is about performance as much as looks. Darker screens absorb more light, so they cut glare well and give a clearer view out – usually the better choice if you want to watch the sunset. Lighter screens reflect more of the sun’s heat back through the glass and keep the room brighter, but the view looks a little hazier. We suggest trying both against your own window at the visit, ideally in the afternoon.
Salt, wind and upkeep
Near the beach, a fine film of salt and dust builds up on aluminium slats; wiping them with a damp cloth now and then keeps them looking good and running smoothly. Screen and roller fabrics can usually be wiped too. On windy upper floors we also check the bottom bar weight and position, so blinds do not knock against the glass when a window is open.
Prices in Konyaaltı
Prices depend on product, size, fabric and mechanism, not on the neighbourhood. Our averages: wooden blinds about 3,000 TL/m², aluminium blinds about 2,000 TL/m², pleated blinds 1,000–4,000 TL/m². Screen, sheer and motorised systems vary widely, so we quote those after measuring. Full overview on our prices page; credit-card instalments are possible.
Getting to you
Our showroom is in Bahçeyaka, Döşemealtı, and Konyaaltı is on the far western side of the city, so we plan visits by appointment. Send a photo of your window or balcony on WhatsApp first and we will give you an initial idea. Then we book a free visit with sample books, so you can judge fabrics in your own afternoon light. Our own team handles installation.
If the flat is a holiday home and you are abroad, we share options by photo and video and you approve remotely. We speak English, Russian and German. Book your free home visit.
