PARK CITY
ROLLER SHADES.

Shading for Park City glass — high-altitude sun, snow glare off every surface, and windows that exist to be looked through.

BUILT AROUND
THE GLASS.

Park City homes are built around their glass, which makes shading them a harder problem than it looks. At 7,000 feet the sun is more intense than anywhere on the valley floor, and for several months of the year the snow underneath the window reflects as much light back up as comes down. A shade that solves one of those does not solve the other.

Peak Shades is authorized for Lutron, Draper, Hunter Douglas, Phantom Screens, Somfy and MechoShade, and has worked in Summit County since 2006. On large-glass homes the measurement is the job — we cut on site so the bottom line stays level across a wall of windows that are not identical.

Where We Measure

PARK CITY NEIGHBORHOODS WE SERVE.

Old Town

Historic miners’ cottages and tight renovations. Small openings, inside-mount, and nothing that alters the street face.

Park Meadows

Large family homes, wide south and west glass. Motorized solar shades on scenes rather than switches.

Deer Valley

Ski-in homes with two and three storeys of glazing. Hardwired Lutron Sivoia QS, integrated with the lighting control already in the house.

The Canyons

Condominiums and lodges. Association rules keep the work interior, and consistency across units matters as much as the fabric.

Canyons Village

Rental and nightly-let inventory. Durable fabrics, simple controls a guest cannot misconfigure.

Promontory

Big view windows facing the Uintas and the valley. Dual shades: solar for the day, blackout for the bedrooms.

Silver Springs

Family homes, standard window sizes, the straightforward retrofit with wireless motors.

Jeremy Ranch

Mature trees on some lots and none on others, so the specification varies window by window rather than house by house.

Pinebrook

Hillside homes, long afternoon exposure. Exterior solar screens where the association permits them.

Park City-Specific

WHAT MAKES SHADING PARK CITY DIFFERENT.

  • 01
    Altitude raises the stakes on fabric
    Thin air means harsher light, and fabric fade and furniture fade both happen faster at 7,000 feet than they do in the valley. The fabric specification matters more here than the motor does.
  • 02
    Snow doubles the light
    A white valley floor reflects light up through a window from below. Rooms that were comfortable in September become uncomfortable in January with the same shade in the same position.
  • 03
    Nobody wants to lose the window
    These houses were bought for the view. Low-openness solar fabric keeps the outline of the mountain and removes most of the glare, and the only way to choose the number is to hold samples against your actual glass.
  • 04
    Association review is the norm, not the exception
    Most Summit County communities review anything visible from outside, which includes exterior screens. Interior shades are not reviewed. We prepare the submittal when an exterior mount is worth it.
Pricing

HOW MUCH DO ROLLER SHADES
COST IN PARK CITY?

Priced per window, which matters here because Park City projects are usually a small number of very large openings rather than many standard ones.

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.

Park City Shade FAQ

PARK CITY SHADE QUESTIONS.

Will the fabric fade at altitude?

Faster than in the valley, which is why we specify fade-rated fabrics from Lutron, Draper and Hunter Douglas rather than whatever matches a swatch. Authorized dealer access is the reason we can get the right one.

What handles snow glare?

Glare from below is a different problem from sun from above. A dual shade — solar fabric in front, blackout roller behind — covers both without compromising on either.

Can you shade a three-storey window wall?

Yes, and that is most of what we do in Deer Valley and Promontory. Hardwired motorized systems, measured on site, with the drop and the seam layout planned before anything is ordered.

Do HOA rules stop me shading the outside?

Often, yes. Exterior screens change the appearance of the building, so most Park City associations review them. Interior shades avoid the process entirely.

Will this work with the system in the house?

We are authorized for Lutron Sivoia QS, Caséta and RA3, Hunter Douglas PowerView and Somfy, and we program against Apple Home, Alexa and Control4, coordinating with the integrator who built the rest of it.

How far ahead should I order for a ski-season deadline?

The install is quick; the fabrication is not. Choose the fabric early — that is the item with the lead time, and it sets the date.
