Skylights are a unique way to fill a home with natural light, but they can also introduce sun and heat gain, driving up energy bills. Skylight shades allow you to control the light and warmth coming through these windows while still enjoying the ambiance they provide. Here are three ideas for stylish, functional skylight shades from Rose Sun Window Coverings.
Motorized Cellular Shades for Energy Savings
Our Hunter Douglas Duette Architella cellular shades are an excellent choice for skylights. Their honeycomb cell structure blocks heat and light while preventing excess heat transfer through the window. This keeps rooms cooler in summer and warmer in winter, reducing energy costs. The Architella’s dual cell layer provides enhanced insulation for skylights.
Make your home truly smart with our Somfy motorization upgrades. Operate your cellular shades from your phone, tablet, or voice assistant for hands-free control. Schedule them to close on sunny afternoons when you’re away to maintain the ideal temperature. The motorized functionality also means that there is no need to strain to reach high skylights.
Blackout Skylight Shades for a Darkened Room
Want to watch a movie or get a good night’s sleep even with skylights overhead? Our blackout roller shades and drapery completely block outside light. Choose from thick woven fabrics or dual-layered material for maximum coverage.
Opt for motorized controls to lower dense shades at the touch of a button. This is ideal for skylights that are difficult to reach. Program your shades to close automatically each evening for an uninterrupted night’s sleep. Motorized options eliminate the need for cords or chains near windows where young children play.
Sheer Shades to Filter Light Beautifully
For a bright, airy feel, sheer skylight shades allow diffused natural light to stream in while preventing harsh sun or privacy issues. Our Voile sheers are a popular choice, coming in numerous colours to complement any style.
A motorized version lets you adjust the level of light and coverage easily. Operate sheers separately or together with other window treatments using the same remote. You can set your sheers to open partway on cloudy days to accentuate the skylight without over-illuminating the room below.
