Soft, Modern Light Control for Any Room

Alpine Shades installs custom-fit shades designed to reduce glare and improve comfort in homes across the Western Slope.

You need window coverings that soften harsh sunlight without turning your room into a cave, and shades provide that balance better than most hard treatments. Whether you are trying to reduce glare on a television screen during the afternoon or keep a bedroom cool in summer, shades allow you to control how much light enters while maintaining a clean, tailored appearance that works with contemporary and traditional interiors alike.

Alpine Shades offers roller, honeycomb, Roman, banded, solar, blackout, and smart drape shades, all available in custom sizes to fit your windows exactly. An in-home consultation lets you see fabrics, textures, and opacity levels in your actual space on the Western Slope, so you understand how each material performs in your lighting conditions before making a decision. Custom-fit shades eliminate the gaps and uneven hems common with off-the-shelf products, and they operate more reliably over time.

If you want shades that fit your windows correctly and improve daily comfort, Alpine Shades can bring samples to your home on the Western Slope.

Fabrics and Features That Respond to Your Climate

During your consultation, you will handle fabric samples and see how different opacity levels filter light in the rooms where the shades will be installed. Solar shades reduce glare and heat gain while maintaining outward visibility during the day, while blackout shades block nearly all light and are often used in bedrooms or media rooms on the Western Slope. Honeycomb shades trap air in their cellular structure, adding a layer of insulation that helps regulate indoor temperatures.

After installation, you will notice that the shades lower evenly without catching, the fabric stays taut without sagging at the edges, and the room feels noticeably cooler during peak sun hours. Motorized and smart home-ready options allow you to adjust shades remotely or set them on schedules, which is useful for rooms with high windows or for managing light while you are away.

Professional installation includes mounting the headrail or brackets, leveling the shade, trimming the fabric if necessary, and programming motorized controls if applicable. The installer will also ensure the shade clears the window frame and any hardware such as locks or cranks. This service does not include repairing damaged drywall or replacing window trim.

Homeowners on the Western Slope often ask practical questions about fabric types, installation methods, and how shades compare to other window coverings.

Answers to Common Questions About Custom Shades

What is the difference between solar shades and blackout shades?
Solar shades filter sunlight and reduce glare while still allowing you to see outside during the day, making them useful in living rooms and kitchens. Blackout shades block nearly all light and are better suited for bedrooms or rooms where you need complete darkness.
How do honeycomb shades help with energy efficiency?
Honeycomb shades have a cellular structure that traps air between the window and the room, creating an insulating barrier that reduces heat transfer. This makes rooms more comfortable during temperature swings common on the Western Slope and can lower heating and cooling costs over time.
Why do custom shades cost more than pre-cut options?
Custom shades are measured and cut to fit your exact window dimensions, use higher-quality fabrics and mechanisms, and include professional installation that ensures smooth operation and a polished appearance. Pre-cut shades often require adjustments, leave visible gaps, and may not last as long under daily use.
How long does it take to install shades in multiple rooms?
Most single-window installations take twenty to thirty minutes, while multi-room projects are typically completed in a few hours depending on the number of windows and whether motorization is involved. The installer will confirm timing during your consultation.
When should I consider motorized shades instead of manual ones?
Motorized shades are useful for windows that are difficult to reach, for rooms where you want to adjust light levels remotely, or when you prefer to automate your home's lighting based on time of day. They add convenience and improve safety by eliminating cords in homes with children or pets.

Alpine Shades schedules in-home consultations across the Western Slope so you can see how different fabrics and opacity levels perform in your actual lighting conditions.
