Best Window Shades for Skylights
With the bright sun and blue skies here in Phoenix, skylight windows are very popular. People love the extra light they let in, giving their rooms a more open and airy feeling. While a beautiful design element in any home, skylights have some drawbacks, too. Too much bright sun can let in too much heat, and the direct UV light can damage the interior your flooring, furnishings, and interiors. Stylish window shades installed on your skylights will help control light and improve energy efficiency.
Light Control

Operating Shades in Skylights
Opening and closing your skylight shades is easy. Use the Duette Skylift operating system to manually open and close your shades with manual operation using a hand crank or telescoping pole. Or, for added convenience, use Duette Skylife with PowerRise® with Platinum™ technology. Motorizing your skylight shades allows you to easily control natural lighting and dramatically reduce overheating from too much direct sunlight. Our remote controlled skylight shade options allows you to raise or lower your hard-to-reach honeycomb shades from up to 40 feet away.
