Skylight Shades
Skylights need specialized hardware for overhead use. We help you choose the right guiding system and controls for your specific window model to ensure smooth operation.
Roof-window model identification
Your window model and frame profile determine which shades will work best. We separate the window specifications from the shading system to ensure a perfect, reliable fit.
Ease of operation
Consider how you will reach your skylight. Whether you choose manual poles or powered controls, we ensure the system is easy to operate from your floor level.
