Skylight Shades for Homes

Having skylights in your home is a great way to boost the visual drama of any space and to reduce your dependence on artificial lighting. To make the most of this fun feature, you’ll ideally want to be able to choose when to let this extra natural light inside your home. After all, you can control the natural light from other windows in your home – so why not add light control to your skylights? Of course, enhancing your skylights means finding the right skylight shades.

Duette® Honeycomb Shades near Greenville, South Carolina (SC) as custom skylight shades for homes.

Duette® Honeycomb Shades

Brilliantly simple and incredibly versatile, Duette® Honeycomb Shades are the shade style of choice for people who want a combination of practicality and chic style. The cellular shape creates a pleasant appearance, resulting in an understated texture and a minimalist aesthetic.

The cells also provide an insulating effect to regulate your home’s temperature. A nice byproduct of the design is that these shades also provide very effective sound-dampening. And perhaps the biggest benefit of these shades is that you can install them on multiple types of windows, from arches to sliding glass doors – and everything in between. This is also the shade style you’ll want if you’re planning on adding skylight shades to your home.

Cellular Shades with the SkyLift™ Skylight System

Among the wide variety of operating systems and special variations you can choose for Duette® Honeycomb Shades is the Skylift™ skylight system. This clever feature makes use of tighter cords and a specialized route to keep your shades from drooping from the ceiling. Instead, they will stay flush against your skylights for a sleek look.

One of the main concerns of adding shades to your skylights is the idea that they may cover up too much of the precious natural light you want to add to your home. Thankfully, Duette® Honeycomb Shades are designed to give you as much light as possible. The accordion-like structure of the cells allows them to fold very tightly when you open up your skylight shades, offering more light and less clutter.

Skylight Shades with PowerView® Automation

When you add skylight shades to your home, you’ll get to choose between operating your window treatments with a crank mechanism or a pole if you want a manual operating system. But to make your new skylight shades as convenient as possible, you can add PowerView® Automation. This operating system uses sleek electric motors and a responsive remote connection, resulting in quiet and quick adjustments with the press of a button.

You can also connect your mobile devices using the PowerView® App. Doing this lets you access features like scene-setting scheduling, which will be especially helpful for making your home more efficient by opening and closing your shades at the right times. And by connecting the app to voice-command devices, you can make it truly effortless to control light everywhere in your home.
