Skylight windows are a coveted asset in any home. They make rooms feel bigger, give you tons of beautiful natural light–without sacrificing privacy–and improve the value and lifestyle appeal of your home. However, if you have skylights in your home, you know they also come with their own set of challenges. Energy efficiency issues, blinding glare and harmful UV rays can make your home unpleasant and unappealing. When it comes to the best shades for skylights–lifestyle function is the most important feature. But, easy-to-manage options can be hard to find. Thankfully, there is an answer! Both Duette and Applause honeycomb shades are fantastic options as shades for skylights–they have all the solutions you’re looking for!

 

Energy Efficiency

The winter season, here in Florida, can be tough with skylights. That drafty feeling you have shows that as heat rises, it’s escaping out the ceiling. During the chilliest time of the year, it’s hard to feel warm and cozy. Honeycomb shades are constructed with a cellular design, meaning layers of fabric trap pockets of air, and act as a layer of insulation!

As the intensity of our Florida sun increases, especially during the summer months, too much direct light can overheat your room and have your A/C working overtime. You need shades for skylights! Duette and Applause both are available in opacities from light filtering to room darkening, so you can limit the direct light and keep your indoor temperature comfortable.

 

Glare and UV Rays

Obnoxious glare can be a real problem when you have skylights, making it difficult to see–and all but impossible to use your screened devices. Additionally, that bright streaming light in is bombarding your furniture and decor with harmful UV rays!
