Custom roller shades cover everything off-the-shelf can't. Arched-top windows, transoms, oversized picture windows, dual-shade configurations with both a light-filter and blackout on the same window, multi-window walls coordinated as one install. Penn Shades manufactures and installs custom roller shades for Pittsburgh-area homes where standard sizes simply don't fit.
Signs You Need Custom Roller Shades
Your home was built in the 1900s, 1920s, or 1950s — Pittsburgh's classic eras — and your windows aren't standard sizes. Your new build or addition has oversized picture windows the contractor specified before anyone thought about treatments. You have an arched, half-round, or eyebrow window above your front door, foyer, or main stair. You've shopped big-box stores or online retailers and nothing actually fits. You want one window to do two jobs (light-filter during the day, blackout at night) and don't want two separate window treatments.
Most Pittsburgh homes have at least one window that an off-the-shelf shade can't cover cleanly. Pretending it's close enough and ordering the nearest size leads to permanent visible gaps. Custom is usually only 15–25% more than stock and avoids the entire problem.
Our Custom Roller Shades Options
Within custom we handle four common scenarios. Oversized rollers — single shades up to about 12 feet wide and 14 feet tall — use reinforced tubes and heavier-duty hardware to avoid sag and ensure smooth operation. Arched rollers cover the rectangular portion below the arch while a custom-cut fabric panel or stained-glass film covers the arched portion above. Dual-shade configurations mount two rollers on the same window (typically a light-filter on the outer side and a blackout on the inner side) so you toggle between daytime soft light and nighttime full darkness without changing rooms.
Multi-window wall coordination ensures the fabric pattern, fold height, and hardware align across 3–10+ shades on the same wall — uniform when raised, uniform when lowered. We also handle dormers, bay windows, corner windows, and windows in deep historic casings where standard mounting brackets fail. Fabric choice runs the full range — light-filter, blackout, solar mesh, designer textures.
Custom Roller Shades for Pittsburgh Homes & Businesses
Pittsburgh housing is a custom-roller's natural home. Historic East End and Squirrel Hill brick traditionals have non-standard window sizes throughout. Mt. Lebanon prairie-style homes have leaded glass windows that need creative mounting. Sewickley colonials feature transom windows above the main first-floor windows. New builds in Cranberry, Wexford, and Sewickley Heights have oversized great-room glass walls that off-the-shelf shades can't span.
We install across Pittsburgh, Moon Township, Coraopolis, Sewickley, Robinson, Carnegie, Bridgeville, Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, Bethel Park, Cranberry Township, Wexford, McCandless, Fox Chapel, and surrounding western Pennsylvania communities.
What to Expect
Call (412) 634-5526 or book online. Free in-home consultation. Custom always requires on-site measurement — photos and rough numbers aren't enough. Our installer measures each opening, designs the configuration, walks through fabric choice, and quotes a fixed price. Custom rollers run slightly longer than stock — typically 14–21 days. Install is one visit.
