Why Add Shades to Your Skylight

One of the greatest aspects of skylights is the airy ambiance that they provide in a room. They give a beautiful touch of design to your interiors and provide your home with a brighter, more open feeling. But one problem with most skylights is that they’re constantly open to the outside. This can be annoying when you want to control light and ensure privacy - which is where we can help.

Control Light

Skylights are windows mounted in the ceiling and they can help illuminate darker areas of the home and provide diffuse interior light in a space - but there are problems with having a constantly open portal. The heat and light of the sun can enter and warm and illuminate your space, and the sun’s UV rays can even fade and discolor carpet and furnishings. Skylight shades can make your rooms completely dark, which is why blackout skylight shades are a great option for anyone looking to control the light at all times of day for all different reasons - whether it be to control light, prevent fading, or to cool a space naturally. These shades are completely customizable because they are available in a wide range of colors and textures to fit any decor. Whether you want something traditional or contemporary, we have what you are looking for. The material choice is completely up to you.

Energy Efficiency

A huge benefit of skylight shades is the energy efficiency that they provide for your home. What many people don’t realize is that their homes are constantly losing energy through our windows, especially those on the ceilings. So, to combat this issue, adding a skylight shade with cellular construction like Duette® Honeycomb Shades to your skylight window shades can make all the difference in your energy bills. Plus, skylight shades provide the UV ray protection that you have been looking for as well. The harsh rays from the sun can damage your flooring, furniture, and artwork so it is essential that every window be covered. They can also reduce outside noise which is a huge benefit as well.

We understand that shades on your ceilings are difficult to reach, which is why we highly recommend motorization for these skylight shades in Grand Rapid, MI. When you motorize your window treatments, you open yourself up to a world of possibilities. You no longer have to stress about how you are going to open and close your blinds, and you don’t have to worry about them breaking either. This is a reliable electronic shade option, and we are confident you are going to love it.
