Skylight shades that cover overhead windows with tracks, cords or motors, controlling heat, glare and light in kitchens, baths, stairwells and vaulted rooms where reaching the window is hard.
Skylights bring in wonderful light and plenty of heat and glare. A shade built for the angle keeps them useful all day. Homeowners in Nashville add skylight shades to kitchens, baths, stairwells and vaulted living rooms.
Skylight shades ride on side tracks so they hold their position at an angle, and many are cellular for an extra layer of comfort. We measure the opening, check how the skylight is built and choose a mount. Because skylights are out of reach, we recommend motorized or pole-operated controls, and we explain battery and solar power. We install the shade and test its travel, so it moves smoothly from edge to edge. Skylights are hard to reach, so we always plan the control before the shade. A remote or a solar panel can be placed where it is easy to use, and a pole may work for a low skylight. We also check the angle of the glass and the shade's travel so it sits flat and does not sag between the tracks.
We measure width, length and depth and check the skylight's frame and angle.
Side tracks hold the shade in place at an angle, so it does not sag or swing.
Motors, remotes and poles make high skylights easier to reach, and solar power avoids wiring.
We run the shade through its full travel to check that it stops and starts evenly.
