Useful answers before you choose
Boat windshield cover & privacy shade FAQs.
Understand the fit, view and everyday use before planning your custom exterior coverage.
Talk to us · 561-848-2111What are boat windshield covers, privacy shades and mask covers?
These are custom exterior covers or screening panels planned around boat windshields, pilothouse windows and deck areas. Window coverage can help limit direct sunlight reaching the dash, upholstery and other interior surfaces. The material and attachment layout are selected for your project.
Can I still see through a boat windshield sun shade?
A mesh shade can retain an outward view, but the result depends on the fabric's openness, color and lighting. Discuss a material sample with Canvas Designers so you can compare the view and the amount of screening before choosing.
Will mesh privacy shades provide privacy at night?
Mesh does not guarantee one-way privacy. When the boat's interior is brighter than the outside, people may be able to see in. If nighttime privacy matters, discuss an appropriate interior treatment or other coverage with the team.
Can I leave these covers fitted while the boat is underway?
The collection's exterior privacy and windshield covers are intended for use while docked or moored. Remove them before getting underway and follow the instructions for your specific project.
How are custom boat window covers fitted?
The team reviews your boat's window shapes, the area to cover and the proposed mounting arrangement. Send the boat's make, model and year, along with clear photos of the glass, frames and any existing attachment hardware.
How should I clean and store the shades?
Use mild soap and water, and let the shades dry before storage. Discuss material and hardware choices suited to your boat's marine environment. Follow their care instructions, and ask the team before using a stronger cleaning product.
How do I request a quote?
Use the contact form or call 561-848-2111. Tell us about your boat, the windows or deck areas you want to cover, and whether your priority is shading, daytime screening or nighttime privacy. Photos help the team understand the layout.
