The 3 Best Shades for Skylights
Skylights are always a selling point for homes, as focal points that create feelings of openness and plenty of brightness. They also allow warmth and coolness in from outside as the weather changes. But sometimes, the extra light and temperature changes need to be managed. These are problems that skylight shades solve – they darken rooms, provide insulation, and are designed to enhance your decor and increase the value of your home. They even absorb sound coming from the outside.
Our team at Laura's Draperies, Bedspreads, and More has selected the 3 best shades for skylights by Hunter Douglas, and we think you'll agree that these products serve their purposes well.
1. Duette® Cellular Shades
Cellular shades are more energy efficient than any other type of window treatment, thanks to their honeycomb design that catches and holds in the air. Plus, the added air trapped between these shades and their windows provides double insulation. Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades can be customized to fit your skylights and come in various colors, pleat sizes, and textures. They are one of our most popular products and come in ⅜", ¾", and 1¼” pleat sizes.
2. Duette Architella® Cellular Shades
These high-end cellular shades provide extra insulation through a honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb design. This feature offers additional fabric layers that trap even more air. If your skylights let in excessive light and seem too hot or cold at certain times, Architella® could be the solution you've been searching for.
3. Applause® Cellular Shades
Applause® Cellular Shades have a double-cellular design and come in ⅜" and ¾" pleat sizes. They are streamlined and can accommodate specialty window shapes like trapezoids, cutouts, and any skylight in your home. With their double-cellular design, these cellular shades provide ample energy efficiency in your home, which can help you save money throughout the year on your energy bills.
Can Vertical Shades Be Used on Skylights?
Yes, and we offer Hunter Douglas Somner® Vertical Blinds. These also come in different textures and colors and have the bonus of 75% UV protection. Like our other skylight shades, Somner® products protect indoor furniture and fabrics from fading over time.
The second choice in this category is Vertical Solutions® Vertical Blinds. These also offer 75% UV protection and a wide array of fabrics, including vinyl.
