Layton’s Authorized Roller Shade Dealer

LATE SUN OFF
THE LAKE.

Layton has an exposure problem most of the Wasatch Front does not: west of the city there is nothing between a window and the Great Salt Lake, so late sun arrives low and comes back off the water as well as off the ground. It makes the west half of a Layton house measurably harder to shade than the east half.

Peak Shades is an authorized dealer for Lutron, Draper, Hunter Douglas, Phantom Screens, Somfy and MechoShade, and has been installing across Davis County since 2006. Shades are cut on site the day they go up, and the installer is the person who measured.

Where We Measure

LAYTON NEIGHBORHOODS WE SERVE.

East Layton

Bench homes with the view west over the valley and the lake. Solar shades on the main rooms, blackout in the bedrooms behind them.

Foothills

Newer larger homes, often two storeys of glass on the west elevation. Motorized on a schedule rather than anything manual at that height.

North Layton

Subdivision stock with consistent window sizes, which keeps a whole-house quote simple and the install to one visit.

Antelope Drive corridor

Mixed residential and commercial. Architectural and commercial-grade shading for offices on the same street as the houses.

Layton Hills area

Condominiums and townhomes where exterior changes need association approval — so interior solar and blackout, specified to the rules.

West Layton

Flat, open, full afternoon exposure. The clearest case for exterior solar screens anywhere in Davis County.

Layton Park

Older homes, smaller openings, wood trim worth not drilling into twice. Inside-mount, measured individually.

Layton-Specific

WHAT MAKES SHADING LAYTON DIFFERENT.

01
Lake glare is a second light source
Water reflects late sun back up at a window, which is why a shade sized for overhead sun still leaves a Layton living room bright at seven in the evening. It changes which openness percentage actually works.
02
Shift work means real blackout
Hill Air Force Base and the industry around it put a lot of Davis County on rotating shifts. Sleeping in daylight needs side and bottom light-blocking channels, not a dark fabric — the fabric is the easy part.
03
West elevations carry the cooling load
An exterior screen stops around 90% of solar heat before it reaches the glass, about three times what an interior shade achieves. On a west wall that is the difference between the room being usable and not.
04
Townhome and condo rules decide the product
Anything mounted outside changes the look of the building and needs association approval. Interior shades do not. In Layton Hills that single distinction usually settles the specification.

Pricing

HOW MUCH DO ROLLER SHADES
COST IN LAYTON?

Priced per window. Davis County quotes commonly split into a west-elevation package and a bedroom package, because those two problems want different products.

MOTORIZED ROLLER

$700–$3K+

Per window, by size and system. Install is 1–2 days; service life 20+ years.

EXTERIOR SOLAR SCREEN

$400–$2K+

Per window, fixed frame through motorized retractable. Usually a one-day install, 15–20 year life.

WHAT MOVES THE NUMBER

4 things

Window size, fabric, motor system, and whether power already reaches the window. We quote the options side by side.

Ranges cover measurement, fabric, hardware, install and programming. Electrical work for hardwired systems, and any HOA or design-review submittal, are quoted separately.

Layton Shade FAQ

LAYTON SHADE QUESTIONS.

I work nights. What actually blacks out a bedroom?

A blackout fabric plus side and bottom light-blocking channels. The fabric stops light through the material; the channels stop the halo around the edges. Without channels it is room-darkening, which is not the same thing at seven in the morning.

Why is my west room still bright with the shade down?

Usually because the fabric openness is too high for low sun coming off the lake, or because the heat is already in the glass. Lower openness fixes glare; an exterior screen fixes heat.

Can I put screens on the outside of a townhome?

Only with association approval, since it changes the building exterior. We prepare the submittal, and we quote an interior alternative alongside it so you are not stuck waiting.

Do you do offices along Antelope Drive?

Yes. Commercial and architectural shading is one of our service lines, including MechoShade and Draper systems for larger glazing.

How long is the wait?

Install is a single visit for most Layton homes. The wait is fabrication on your fabric and motor, so the choice of fabric sets the date more than our schedule does.

Battery or hardwired motors?

Battery for retrofit, which is most of Davis County. Hardwired if the house is under construction or the walls are open — it is the better system when you can get to it.
