Skylight Blinds-Internal

Skylights provide rooms with a brighter, more open and airy feeling beyond what standard windows can offer. But like standard windows, harsh summer rays often stream in through skylights, overheating a space; they can also let cold air in during winter. Direct sunlight and glare pose potential snags, too (think afternoon napping or movie binging).

If your skylights are in areas where you get a lot of sun – especially bedrooms or media rooms – you might want to consider skylight shades with a room-darkening or blackout fabric, so natural sunlight doesn’t interrupt your sleep or add glare to a TV screen. And if they’re in rooms like kitchens that don’t require complete darkness, choose a fabric that will bring in natural light while still blocking harsh rays. Remember, though, that skylights are often focal points of a room, so you’ll want a skylight window covering that complements your space’s overall style, rather than detracting from its décor.

Skylight windows never fail to light up a room. Whether your skylight is situated in a communal or private part of your home, sometimes you may wish to achieve a darker atmosphere during the daytime. Perhaps exterior light sources such as street lamps are disturbing your evenings, you want to maintain a darker room in the summer mornings, or you would simply like the option of extra privacy available to you? If any of these ring true, then you should consider installing our blackout blinds for skylight windows to ensure peaceful tranquility inside your home.

Reach for Motorized Control

Because most skylight windows are not easily accessible, many people wonder how to operate them. No worries. While you can reach and manually open and close them with a telescoping pole, retractable skylight window treatments are a natural for the convenience of motorized remote control.

Enhance and Protect

Protection from the sun and weather. Our roof blinds provide the ultimate protection against solar gain and UV, while also reducing noise in winter from hail and rain.

Control of Light

Regulate the amount and intensity of light entering the room. Adjust your blinds to your preferred light level — you can have almost total darkness, even on a sunny day, or can simply use your blind to prevent light reflection on computer and TV screens.
