Why do skylights need specialized window coverings?

Skylights require specialized coverings because they are overhead, necessitating treatments that can handle the angle and are often motorized for easy operation. These coverings help manage intense heat, glare, and UV rays entering from above.

What are the best shades for controlling heat gain through a skylight?

Duette® Cellular Shades are highly recommended for skylights as their honeycomb structure traps air, providing excellent insulation to reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter.

Can skylight shades be operated remotely?

Yes, due to their height, most skylight window treatments, including Duette® Cellular Shades and Sonnette® Roller Shades, are available with motorization and remote control options for effortless adjustment.

Do skylight coverings block all light?

Skylight coverings come in various opacities. Options like Sonnette® Roller Shades can be chosen in light-filtering fabrics to diffuse light or in room-darkening materials to block nearly all incoming light.
