Salt Lake City's 222+ days of sunshine and dramatic mountain backdrop make it one of the most visually striking places to live in the West and one of the most demanding on window treatments. Sitting at over 4,200 feet elevation, the intense UV exposure fades furniture, floors, and fabrics faster than most homeowners expect. The surrounding Wasatch Range creates sharp temperature swings throughout the year, and the valley's famously dry air means heat escapes quickly on winter nights. Snowy, cold winters and blazing summers shape very different needs from season to season. With custom blinds, shades, shutters, or drapery from 3 Day Blinds, you can control glare at every hour, help protect furnishings from UV damage, and add the insulation and privacy your home needs. Our designs are made to complement the diverse homes found throughout the Greater Salt Lake City area.
Our difference comes down to a few things:
- 45+ years of custom window treatment experience
- Local Design Consultants familiar with Salt Lake City's high-altitude sun, arid climate, and year-round energy efficiency needs
- Custom made for your windows with professional measuring and installation
- Free in-home consultation with no obligation

We Know Your Climate. We Know Your Homes.
Salt Lake City delivers a lot of sun, a lot of seasonal range, and a lot of spectacular views worth protecting. Sitting in the valley between the Wasatch and Oquirrh ranges, homes here experience intense UV exposure for much of the year, sharp temperature swings between summer and winter, and cold air that pushes in fast when the seasons shift. The right window treatment helps you manage glare without blocking the mountain views you moved here for, protects flooring and furniture from UV damage that accumulates quickly at this elevation, and keeps your home more comfortable and energy efficient through every season. We help you find the right solution for each room, each window, and the way you actually use your space.
What Works Well Here
- Interior Shutters Interior Shutters are consistently the top-requested window treatment among Salt Lake City homeowners, and it is easy to see why. Their solid construction provides real insulation value during cold valley winters and intense summer afternoons. The louvered slats give precise, room-by-room control over bright Wasatch-front light, and composite options resist fading and warping through years of high-altitude UV exposure. They also add lasting value to the home, which matters in a competitive Salt Lake City real estate market.
- Solar Shades With mountain views on nearly every horizon, Solar Shades are a natural fit for SLC homes. They reduce glare and block UV rays without cutting off your sightlines, making them especially popular in rooms with large windows facing the Wasatch Range. For south and west-facing rooms that get intense afternoon sun, they make a noticeable difference in both comfort and the longevity of your floors and furniture.
- Cellular Shades Salt Lake City's wide seasonal temperature range makes energy efficiency a genuine priority for most homeowners here. Cellular Shades deliver on that with insulating air pockets that slow heat loss during cold snaps and reduce heat gain in summer. They are one of the most practical upgrades for homes along the Wasatch Front looking to lower utility costs without sacrificing a clean, polished look.
- Roller Shades A consistently popular choice across Salt Lake City neighborhoods, Roller Shades offer clean lines, a wide range of fabric options, and reliable light control in one of the most versatile formats available. Whether you want a light-filtering fabric that softens bright afternoon sun or a room-darkening option for a bedroom or media room, Roller Shades deliver a streamlined look that fits comfortably into both modern and traditional interiors.
- Woven Wood Shades Utah's connection to the outdoors runs deep, and Natural Woven Shades reflect that well. Their organic textures in grasses, bamboo, and jute complement the earthy, nature-inspired interiors common throughout the Salt Lake Valley and hold up particularly well in the region's dry climate. They filter light softly, add warmth to rooms with hard surfaces, and bring a handcrafted quality that feels at home in the Intermountain West.

Frequently Asked Questions About Window Treatments in Salt Lake City
Solar Shades and Cellular Shades are the most popular choices along the Wasatch Front, and for good reason. Solar Shades reduce glare and block UV rays without sacrificing your mountain views, while Cellular Shades add insulating air pockets that help manage both the summer heat and cold valley winters. Plantation Shutters are also consistently requested for their light control, durability, and insulation value. Our Design Consultants can walk you through the best options for each room and window orientation in your home.
It is a real concern. Salt Lake City sits at over 4,200 feet, and the intensity of the sun at elevation accelerates fading on furniture, floors, and fabrics more than most homeowners expect. Our window treatments are selected and made to perform in these conditions. Composite shutters use UV-resistant finishes that resist fading and warping, solar shade fabrics are engineered specifically to block UV, and synthetic materials used across our shade lines are far more fade-resistant than natural fibers. We can point you toward the most durable options for your sun exposure.
Yes, meaningfully so. SLC's wide seasonal temperature range, from hot summers to cold, inversion-heavy winters, means your windows are a significant source of heat gain and heat loss throughout the year. Cellular Shades are one of the most effective treatments for insulation, with honeycomb air pockets that slow heat transfer in both directions. Shutters also provide strong insulation value. The right treatment in the right room can reduce strain on your heating and cooling systems and lower your utility bills over time.
Solar Shades are the most popular solution for this exact situation. They reduce glare and filter UV rays while keeping your view of the Wasatch Range largely intact. The fabric openness factor determines how much visibility you retain, and our Design Consultants can show you samples across a range of options so you can see exactly what each looks like before you decide. You get the protection without giving up what makes your home special.
Yes. Custom measuring and fabrication is at the core of what we do, which means we regularly work with non-standard shapes, arched windows, skylights, and windows that are difficult to access. We measure everything on-site and build each treatment specifically for that window, so there is no adapting a stock size to fit a space it was not made for.
Increasingly, yes. Motorization is particularly practical for homes with large windows facing the Wasatch Range, high or hard-to-reach windows, and rooms where you want treatments to automatically adjust to the changing sun angle throughout the day. Smart home integration also allows you to set schedules so your treatments respond to the season without you having to think about it. Our Design Consultants can show you which products in our line are motorization-compatible.
A local Design Consultant comes to your home, brings samples, and works through your windows with you one room at a time. They will take measurements, help you narrow down styles, fabrics, and features, and give you a clear picture of what everything will look like in your actual space with your light and your furnishings. There is no obligation and no pressure. If you decide to move forward, we handle everything from fabrication through professional installation.
Timelines vary depending on what you order, but our name reflects our commitment to moving quickly. Your Design Consultant can give you a specific timeframe based on your selections at the time of your consultation.
We serve the broader Wasatch Front region, including Salt Lake City, West Valley City, Sandy, South Jordan, Draper, Murray, Millcreek, Cottonwood Heights, Herriman, Riverton, Taylorsville, and surrounding communities. If you are unsure whether we cover your area, reach out and we can confirm quickly.
