Benefits of Coverings for Skylights
- Light Control: Though we love that skylights can bring in more natural light, if left uncontrolled, sunlight can overwhelm a space. Skylight coverings give homeowners control to transform that harsh natural light into welcoming interior illumination.
- Energy Efficiency: It's estimated that up to 30% of unwanted energy loss in a Maryland home happens through its windows, including skylights. To elevate your home’s energy efficiency, you need to tame this energy transfer, and one way to do that is with skylight coverings. Skylight shades add an insulating layer over the vulnerable window panes to block undesirable energy loss, helping to keep the outside out and the inside comfortable.
- Coordinated Style: Every element in your home adds to the ambiance, including window treatments. For a coordinated look throughout your home, you must include coverings for skylights in the overall style plan. The forethought of interrelated style elements helps give your home the polished look of a designer’s touch.
Our Pick for the Best Coverings for Skylights
Among the Hunter Douglas collection of window treatments, we think Duette® Cellular Shades with the SkyLift™ Skylight System are best suited to help homeowners harness the benefits of coverings for skylights.
For energy efficiency few shades can compete with cellular shades and their innovative honeycomb design that creates the treatment’s renowned insulating properties. So not only do homeowners benefit from being able to control the free natural resource of light with cellular shades, but they also get the benefit of better temperature regulation as the cellular shades work to keep the heat out and the AC in (or in the winter the opposite, keeping the heat in and the cold Atlantic winter out).
For coordinated style, Duette® Cellular Shades come with numerous customizable style features that allow you to style the coverings for skylights to suit a range of individual tastes. There are over 150 fabric choices, including the exclusive global fabrics of the Hunter Douglas Alustra® Collection. Duette® Cellular Shades can also feature different pleat sizes - ⅜", ¾," or 1 ¼" - for a more modern or more classic look.
For added benefits, Hunter Douglas coverings for skylights can pair with PowerView® Automation for skylight shades motorized for user convenience. PowerView® Automation has the option of a remote control, online app, or synchronization with smart home or existing home assistant programs.
