Best Window Treatments for Skylights
People often want as many windows in their homes as possible, and with good reason, of course! Whether you have views of the city, countryside, ocean, mountains, desert, or suburbs, the windows in your home let you take in the views. Of course, windows aren’t just for looking out on the world. They can also be for looking up!
Skylights are a stunning addition to any home. Opening up a space with natural lighting, skylights instantly transform a space. Of course, covering skylights can get a little tricky. You love when the sun streams through them, but perhaps you want them covered because you are leaving for vacation, or you want to keep your home insulated during those especially cold or hot months. Regardless of the reason, Hunter Douglas carries some of the best window treatments for skylights. Read on to discover which shade is best for your home.
Energy Efficiency
Though skylights are no more a culprit of air leaks than regular windows, it is wise to cover them if your rooms with skylights are particularly cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Any exposed window can result in your home’s air seeping out in the outside air creeping in. This will make your home uncomfortable and increase your energy bills due to you running to the thermostat or AC unit more often. That is why one of the best window treatments for skylights where insulation is concerned is our Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades. These shades are available with the Skylift™ system that lets you control your shades automatically with the PowerView® Automation system. No more having to use a broom to hook your shades just right for an adjustment!
UV Protection
Skylights do have a tendency to increase UV exposure within your home. Instead of different windows being exposed to sunlight as the sun rises and sets, skylights see sunlight nearly all day long. This constant exposure to harsh sunlight can damage your flooring, upholstery, artwork, and more. One of the best window treatments for skylights is our Somner® Vertical Blinds from Hunter Douglas. Offering 75 percent UV protection, these blinds are perfect for skylights. These blinds also come in various design options, including fabric, vinyl, and aluminum, allowing you to spread your creative wings as wide as you wish.
Noise Control
Last but not least, another of the best window treatments for skylights is our Hunter Douglas Vertical Solutions® Vertical Blinds. Like our Somner® Custom Vertical Blinds, these blinds offer 75% UV protection and help reduce outside noise. This last benefit is beneficial if you live in an area that has chatty neighbors, loud traffic, or planes flying above frequently.
