Skylight windows are popular here in Cleveland. People love the way they brighten up a room and bring in more natural light. While the extra light is refreshing, too much of it can lead to UV damage and energy inefficiency. When this becomes a problem, the right shades for skylights can help you enjoy the light when you want it, and block it when you need to. Stop by one of three Timan’s Custom Window Treatments showrooms in the Cleveland area for a consultation!
Shades for Skylights to Control Light and UV Exposure
Shades for skylights offer a solution to the problem of increased energy consumption and damaged flooring and furnishings. Simply close your skylight shades during the hottest parts of the day or during the time of year when you don’t want additional heat in your house. The Hunter Douglas Window Treatments Simplicity™ skylight system is made specifically for honeycomb shades in skylights. Use this operating system with Duette® Architella® honeycomb shades, Duette® honeycomb shades and Applause® honeycomb shades. Choose from a large variety of colors and styles, as well as three hardware colors: Aspen White, Gardenia White, and Bronze
Operating Your Skylight Shades
Skylight shades sound like a great idea, but how do you operate a shade that’s high up in the ceiling? The Duette Skylift operating system allows you to 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. This remote control option allows you to raise or lower your hard-to-reach honeycomb shades from up to 40 feet away. Motorizing your skylight shades allows you to easily control natural lighting and dramatically reduce overheating from too much direct sunlight.
