Why Skylight Shades
Keep the daylight, lose the greenhouse
Cut summer heat gain
Overhead glass collects far more solar heat than a vertical window. A cellular skylight shade cuts that dramatically.
Stop the glare
Direct overhead sun is the worst kind for screens and TVs. Filter it and the room stays bright without the hot spots.
No ladder required
Every shade is motorized, because nothing about an overhead window is reachable with a wand or chain.
Living Spaces
Light filtering for kitchens and living areas
In kitchens, stairwells, and open-plan living spaces, a light-filtering pleated or cellular fabric softens harsh midday sun while keeping the room bright and airy.
Sealed side tracks hold the shade flat against the glass at any angle, so it never sags away from the skylight on a steep slope.
- Pleated, cellular, or roller fabrics
- Sealed side tracks at any pitch
- Custom cut to Velux, Fakro, Roto, and builder openings
Bedrooms
Blackout cellular for sleeping under the sky
Attic and loft bedrooms need blackout more than anywhere else in the house — a skylight faces straight up at a 5 a.m. summer sunrise.
A blackout cellular shade in sealed side tracks gives you darkness overhead plus real insulation against the heat and cold that overhead glass lets through.
Options
Built to your opening
Custom-cut to any skylight
Velux, Fakro, Roto, or builder-specific — we measure and build to fit, including tilted and curved openings.
Light filtering or blackout
Soften daylight in a stairwell or fully darken a primary bedroom — choose the fabric per room.
Motorized standard
Battery, rechargeable lithium, or hardwired motors with remote, app, voice, and schedule control.
Heat & glare control
Cellular skylight shades cut summer heat gain through overhead glass dramatically — and hold heat in during winter.
Sealed side tracks
Hold the shade flat against the glass at any angle, even fully extended on a steep slope.
