Sky Lights
Selecting a window covering for skylights can be challenging. Skylights are a gorgeous feature in any room and are often added to rooms for additional light. However, many people don’t consider the reality of having a skylight in your room: the light that looks great at a party can interfere with your regular use of the room.
When the light coming in from your skylight is too much: either too bright or adds too much warmth, selecting a window shade to cover your skylight can be a difficult – and important – task.
When selecting coverings for your skylights, you need to remember that these aren’t just hard to reach windows – you need to make sure that the covering won’t move or fall down. Here are some tips to selecting skylight window coverings:
How Much Light
Consider how much light you would like to let in when the shade is fully closed. If you just want to block some of the light, consider a light filtering, or sheer, shade. However, if you would like to block out most, if not all the light when the shade is closed, you should seriously consider a room darkening or blackout window shade.
Adjusting The Covering
When you’re looking to control the amount of light that comes in through your skylight, first ask yourself, do you want to be able to adjust the light coming in through the window covering? If you want to be able to adjust your window covering you definitely should consider one of our motorized window shades. These allow you to open and close the window shades to let in your desired amount of light.
