Motorized shades for Deer Valley homes

Homes built to face the mountain

Deer Valley homes climb from the Snow Park area at around 6,500 feet to Silver Lake and Empire Pass above 8,000 feet. The higher you go, the brighter the sun and the more snow reflects back into the house. Lodge-style and mountain-modern homes here are usually built around two-story windows facing the runs, which makes them beautiful and, on a February afternoon, very bright. Shading that glass without losing the view is the main job, and on most of these windows it calls for large-window planning and battery-powered motors.

Seen from the slopes

Many Deer Valley homes are in full view of skiers and of neighbors across the run. During the day, a solar fabric keeps rooms private while you look out. After dark, when the lights come on, rooms facing a lit run or a neighbor need a privacy or blackout layer too. A double roller, with solar in front and blackout behind, handles both on the same window.

Second homes that run themselves

Most Deer Valley homes are second homes, and many are managed or rented when the owners are away. Motorized shades on schedules let the house look lived in, keep winter sun off wood floors and leather furniture, and make the house feel ready when you arrive. Guests and family get simple remotes or keypads instead of a phone app. If you work with a home technology integrator, we're happy to coordinate with them on battery-powered shades.

HOAs and consistent exteriors

Many Deer Valley neighborhoods and condo associations, from Silver Lake Village to the Deer Crest area and the newer development out toward the Jordanelle side, care about a consistent look from outside. That often means neutral backing colors and even shade heights when the house is closed up. We bring fabric samples so you can choose something that works for the room and the association, and we can set groups so the whole facade closes to the same height.

Access and timing

Ski season is busy on Deer Valley roads and in the parking areas near lodges and condos. We plan measuring and installation around access, gate codes and property managers, and we're happy to start with photos and a call if you're out of state.
