About Waters Edge

Local Window Treatment Experience in Waters Edge

Water changes the light problem, and it changes it in a direction most people do not expect. A rear elevation facing open water takes direct sun like any other, plus a second helping reflected off the surface at a low upward angle. That reflected component arrives underneath the shade line, which is why a treatment sized neatly to the top of the opening in a Waterside Court great room can still leave you squinting at four in the afternoon. Reflection is also seasonal in reverse: it is worst when the sun is low, which in central Indiana means the shoulder months and the winter afternoons rather than high July.</p><p style="font-size:16px;color:#4a5a6a;line-height:1.75;margin:16px 0 0">The second Waters Edge specific is vintage. Section 1 and Section 2A are recorded separately, and a sub lettered phase in Johnson County usually means a split during build out rather than one continuous run of houses. Across 95 parcels that is enough to put two window packages inside one community. Lot size for this plat was not separately sampled either, so we will not quote you an acreage figure the way we can for the 0.20 acre Bradford Place lots it interlocks with. What we do instead is measure, note the section, and record the fabric so a later order can be matched against something real.

We have served Waters Edge homeowners through the full range of window treatment needs, from inspections and repairs to full replacements. Whatever the system, our Bargersville crew approaches every project with clear communication and respect for your property.

The Housing Here

Waters Edge housing: 95 parcels, two sections, two ZIP codes

The county parcel layer returns 95 parcels whose legal description begins WATERS EDGE, recorded across Section 1 and Section 2A. Recorded architectural style is production two story traditional. Lot size was not separately sampled for this plat, and rather than borrow a figure from the neighbors we will say plainly that we measure the house rather than the parcel. Build era is not directly sourced, because Johnson County publishes no year built attribute on its public layer. What the town wide record supports is that 55.5 percent of Bargersville housing went up between 2000 and 2019, and a two section production plat of this type sits inside that band.

The address situation here is genuinely unusual. Waters Edge straddles ZIP 46142 and 46143, so two neighbors across the street from each other can hand you different mailing addresses while living in the same recorded plat, in the same Bargersville fire protection district, sending children to the same Center Grove schools. Add the shared streets, Pearcrest Way and Oakleigh Parkway with Bradford Place and Streamside Drive with Smokey Row Estates, and you get a community that is easy to misidentify from an address alone. For a measure appointment, the plat name plus the section is worth more to us than the ZIP code.

What It Means For Your Windows

Water lots, open exposure and 18 to 24 openings

Plan on 18 to 24 openings, with the standard post 2000 production profile at a nominal 3.25 inch jamb and a flat stop, and openings that should measure square for stock of this era. The variable that matters more than any of those is which lot you are on. A Waters Edge perimeter lot fronting or backing the water feature has a rear elevation with nothing in front of it, permanently, and no prospect of a tree line growing in to help. An interior lot in the same plat faces houses. Those two conditions can sit two doors apart on Streamside Drive and they take different fabric on the same floor plan.

Bargersville has almost no mature canopy to lean on. With 63.7 percent of the housing built since 2000, most of these subdivisions were laid out on former farm ground and the street trees are 5 to 25 years old, intercepting very little low angle sun. On a water lot there is not even that. So the rear glass here is doing more work than the same glass in The Preserve at Copperleaf, which backs retained woodland. We take a three point measure on width and height as always, and we also record the compass bearing of the water frontage, because that single number drives the openness factor on the whole rear wall.

Reflected light arrives from below

Open water throws low sun back up at the glass, so glare in a Waterside Court great room can come in under the shade line rather than through it. A shade set neatly to the header does nothing about that. The answers are a lower openness fabric at 3 percent, a bottom up configuration that covers the lower glass first, or an exterior treatment that intercepts the light before it reaches the window.

Section 1 and Section 2A may not match

A sub lettered phase means the plat split during build out, so a Waters Edge house from the first section and one from 2A can carry different window packages. We do not carry measurements across a section line here. We note which section the house is in on the order, and we record the fabric name and the order number so an addition later can be matched against a record rather than a memory.

No borrowed shade on the water lots

Street trees across the Bargersville plats are 5 to 25 years old because the ground was farmed until recently, and a water frontage removes even that. The rear elevation on a perimeter lot takes the full low sun year round. That argues for solar fabric at the rear rather than the front in this plat, which reverses the usual order and is worth catching before the order is placed.

Roll direction on a wall you look at all day

A regular roll runs the fabric close to the glass and hides the tube against the header; a reverse roll brings the fabric off the trim and clears a deep sill or a crank handle. Reverse roll is not compatible with a fascia, so if you want that squared off cover across a water facing wall, the roll direction is decided for you. We settle this at the appointment, not at install.

What We Specify Here

What we specify in Waters Edge

The specification here splits by lot rather than by room. Water facing rear elevations get solar control and view retention, because you paid for the view and covering it defeats the purpose; interior lots in the same 95 parcel plat get treated more like the Bradford Place houses they interlock with. Bedrooms get their own answer regardless of lot, since reflected light off water carries streetlight and moonlight further into a room than most owners expect. National figures for reference, not local pricing: interior custom work runs $250 to $2,600 per window, motorized $300 to $1,500 installed, and retractable awnings $1,000 to $6,000 installed.

Solar shades at 3 percent openness

For the water facing glass on Waters Edge Way and Waterside Court, where reflected low sun doubles the glare load. Three percent cuts far more than a 5 percent and keeps enough transparency to read the water. What it will not do is stop fade: NFRC attributes 40 to 60 percent of fading damage to UV, so the floor in front of that glass still ages, just more slowly.

Sheer horizontal shades with fabric vanes

The compromise product for a room whose whole point is the view. Vanes open to hold the water sightline and rotate closed for privacy without raising or lowering anything. They cost more than a roller and they are slower to clean, which is a fair trade in a great room and a poor one in a bath. On a water lot with no neighbor behind, the vanes stay open most of the day.

Blackout cellular shades

For bedrooms, because a water surface bounces streetlight and moonlight into a room in a way an interior lot never sees. Blackout fabric alone leaks at the edges of an inside mount, so we specify an outside mount with overlap or add side channels where the room really needs darkness. Cordless lift is standard, in line with where ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2022 pushed the category.

Retractable awning

Over the rear patio on a water lot, where there is no tree line coming to help and the sun sits on that side of the house for the length of the muggy stretch from May 25 to September 22. An awning stops the heat before it reaches the glass, which no interior product can do. National installed figures run $1,000 to $6,000. Retract it ahead of a storm.

Getting Around

Waters Edge streets, shared frontage and two ZIP codes

Six streets carry the plat: Waters Edge Way, Streamside Drive, Waterside Court, Highpoint Court, Pearcrest Way and Oakleigh Parkway. The last three are shared frontage, Pearcrest Way and Oakleigh Parkway with Bradford Place and Streamside Drive with Smokey Row Estates, which makes Waters Edge the link between three plats rather than a closed loop. Mail splits between 46142 and 46143, fire protection comes from the Bargersville district, and every sampled parcel returns Center Grove Community School Corporation. The internal water feature the plat is named for sits at the middle of all of it and decides which houses get the open rear exposure.

Common Questions

Waters Edge Window Treatment FAQ

Questions we hear most often from Waters Edge homeowners.

Because you are getting the light twice. Direct sun comes through the glass and a second component reflects off the water at a low upward angle, arriving underneath the line a normal shade covers. That is why a shade hung neatly at the header can still leave a Waterside Court room uncomfortable in the late afternoon. The workable answers are a 3 percent openness solar fabric instead of a 5 percent, a bottom up configuration that covers the lower glass first, or an exterior awning that stops the heat before it reaches the window at all.
For measuring, yes. A sub lettered section usually means the plat split during build out, so the two phases can carry different window packages inside one 95 parcel community. We do not carry a measurement from one section into the other, and we note the section on the order. For anything else, the practical answer is no: both sections sit in the Bargersville fire protection district, both return Center Grove schools on every sampled parcel, and both share the same water feature. Tell us the section if you know it and we will confirm it with the tape.
Both, and the split is a real quirk of this plat rather than an error. Waters Edge straddles 46142 and 46143, so two houses in the same recorded subdivision hand you different mailing addresses. Add Center Grove school assignments and Bargersville fire protection on top and you get four different answers to where do you live. None of it changes a window quote. What changes a quote is whether your lot fronts the water, which decides the openness factor on the rear elevation, and what section the house was built in.
On a rear patio with open water in front of it and no tree line coming, it is the only product that stops the heat before it reaches the glass. Everything hung inside the window is working on light that is already in the room. National installed figures run $1,000 to $6,000, which is a wide band because width, projection and whether the arms are motorized all move it. The honest caveats: an awning has to be retracted ahead of wind, and it shades the patio and the lower glass rather than the whole two story rear wall.
Blackout fabric with a mounting plan, not blackout fabric on its own. Water bounces streetlight and moonlight into a room in a way that interior lots on Oakleigh Parkway never experience, so the edges of an inside mount become obvious at two in the morning. Lutron publishes 3/4 inch per side on an inside mounted Roller 20/64, and a blackout fabric does nothing about that gap. We either mount outside the opening with real overlap or add side channels and a pocket at the header. Cordless lift is our default for bedrooms.
It adds to the load, and no window treatment will stop the process. NFRC attributes 40 to 60 percent of fading damage to UV, with visible light and heat responsible for the rest, which is why we say a solar shade slows fade rather than prevents it. On a water lot the rear glass takes direct sun plus a reflected component, so the boards in front of that glass age faster than the same floor on an interior lot. A 3 percent openness fabric on the rear wall is the practical step, and moving a rug once a year is the cheap one.
