Window Treatments in Mt. Lebanon, PA — Energy-Efficient & Tailored
Penn Shades installs custom shades, blinds, shutters, and drapery throughout Mt. Lebanon's classic South Hills housing stock. Free in-home consultation. Call (412) 634-5526.
Mt. Lebanon is the heart of the South Hills — a planned community of prairie-style, Tudor, and brick colonial homes built mostly from the 1920s through the 1950s, with character that newer suburbs can't replicate. Window treatments here lean toward the practical and the timeless: cellular shades for energy efficiency through long Pittsburgh winters, real wood blinds for the traditional living and dining rooms, custom Roman shades for design-forward updates.
About Mt. Lebanon homes
Mt. Lebanon homes are full of architectural character — bay windows, leaded transoms, deep window casings, original wood trim. The challenge for window treatments is fitting non-standard window sizes and shapes without losing the architectural detail. We custom-measure every project and recommend inside-mount shades and shutters where possible to preserve original woodwork.

Mt. Lebanon's mature tree canopy means most homes get filtered light, but homes with south- and west-facing exposures along Washington Road and the higher elevation streets get strong afternoon sun in summer. Heating season runs October through April; cellular shades pay back fastest on the older single-pane and first-gen replacement windows still common in the borough. Three Rivers humidity and seasonal swings make composite or faux wood the right call for bathrooms and kitchens — we save real wood for formal dry rooms.
