Sophisticated Skylight Shades for Your Home
A skylight is a window installed in a roof or ceiling, a highly desirable home feature. Since it lets in so much light, it makes rooms feel more open; the aesthetic is stunning. Skylights can also improve ventilation and make rooms seem larger. But sometimes, excessive light and cold or hot air leaking in can be problematic. That's where the Discount Best Blinds and Shutters design team comes in; we customize Hunter Douglas skylight shades and create sophisticated, practical solutions.
Hunter Douglas Shades for Skylights
We recommend Duette® Cellular Shades for skylight applications. This top-selling Hunter Douglas style is energy-efficient, sound-absorbing, and incredibly versatile. The specially engineered honeycomb design traps air, creating an insulating barrier that regulates room temperatures.
Duette® Cellular Shades come in horizontal and vertical orientations, with 3/8", 3/4" or 1-1/4" pleats and these sizes:
- Widths: Horizontal 4" - 174" | Vertical 12" - 336"
- Heights: Horizontal 6" - 144" | Vertical 24" - 120"
The color and fabric selection for these Hunter Douglas shades is nothing short of remarkable. There are over 150+ fabric/color choices, different opacities, and upgrades like Duette Architella® fabrics, double-insulating Applause® Cellular Shades, and the LightLock® blackout system.
Hunter Douglas also customizes these honeycomb shades for specialty-shaped windows, including skylights. While skylights are often focal points, these window treatments transform them into true design statements.
Added Benefits of Skylight Shades
As much as 30 percent of a home's heating and cooling energy gets wasted—it goes out the windows. Imagine how much might be sneaking out through your skylights. Duette® Cellular Shades provide an effective insulation layer—you'll feel the difference immediately.
You'll also sleep better after you install skylight shades. You won't have to wake up at the crack of dawn with sunlight shining into the room. And by selecting the right control option, you can have even more convenience.
Customizing Duette® Cellular Shades for Skylights
Once the fabrics are selected, you can start thinking about compatible operating systems.
- SkyLift™: With this feature, you choose a motorized, hand crank, or telescoping pole system to control your skylights. It's compatible with Duette® Cellular Shades and designed for skylights.
- Applause® Vertiglide™: This operating system uses the same fabrics as horizontal Duette® shades. It has two configurations: one shade to cover the entire window or a split-stack Vertiglide™ shade, with each side operating independently.
- Simplicity™: A manual operating system for skylights, Simplicity™ can stack in any direction.
- PowerView® Automation: Compatible with SkyLift™, this motorized window treatment system operates with the Pebble® Remote, PowerView® app, and voice commands on smart-home systems.
Covering skylights is easy with Hunter Douglas shades. Not only do you have an impressive selection of fabrics, but opting for PowerView® Automation means you won't need to get out of bed to operate your shades. That is a model of true luxury.
