Window Treatments for Skylights

When you first saw your home, skylights were likely one of the factors that won you over. They flood rooms with sunlight and add architectural interest. Covering those skylights is usually not at the top of a person’s to-do list until they realize window treatments for skylights are a necessity. Blindscapes is here to share Hunter Douglas skylight window coverings so your skylights can reach their full potential.

Why Do I Need Skylight Shades?

Skylights are hard to reach, so why go to the trouble of covering them with shades? Light control is the primary purpose, no matter which rooms the skylights are in. Sometimes, the brightness is too much and will drive you from the room. Skylight window coverings eliminate this inconvenience. Skylight blinds also offer protection from sun damage, so you won’t have discoloration on flooring or furniture, and enhance your home’s aesthetic appeal. Although privacy is generally not a concern with skylight, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Which Skylight Window Coverings Are The Best?

Duette® Cellular Shades are far and away the crème de la crème of skylight blinds. In addition to adding luxurious texture to your skylights, cellular shades provide unparalleled insulation. Their unique interior structure traps air to prevent it from passing through the shade, resulting in a more comfortable home for you (and, dare we say, potentially lower energy costs.) Cellular shades are available in several opacities and diffuse natural light into a comforting glow.

More than 150 fabric and color options are available, including materials made from over 50% recycled content. Three pleat sizes allow you to blend your skylight shades with any décor. We suggest slimmer pleats for traditional interiors and wider ones for more contemporary homes. You can use cellular shades on other windows in a room, including sliding glass doors and tilt-turn styles, to create a cohesive look.

Controlling Your Skylight Shades

You can adjust a single skylight at a reasonable height using the Simplicity™ skylight system. This operation method uses an extendable pole to adjust the position of your cellular shades. For multiple skylights or ones on particularly tall ceilings, we suggest choosing PowerView® Automation. Let’s say you just got comfortable on your couch to take a midday snooze. Then you realize you didn’t close the skylight shade. With PowerView® Automation, you can do this using an app or handheld remote.
