Shades and Blinds for Skylights

Manage light from above with shades designed for skylights. We help you choose fabric, support and controls suited to an overhead window, rather than treating it like a standard vertical opening.

Overhead use

Skylights need specialized solutions.

Overhead windows change how a shade hangs and operates. We help you choose a system built for that angle so your shade is secure and simple to use every day.

Frequently asked

Can I use a regular roller shade on a skylight?

No, overhead windows need specialized frames to keep fabric secure. We select assemblies engineered for your window's angle to ensure safety and smooth, reliable operation.

Are cellular shades right for my skylight?

Only if they are built for overhead use. We ensure your chosen construction supports the frame and fabric at your specific window slope for lasting quality.

Can I motorize my skylight shade?

Yes, many overhead systems offer power options. We help you choose a motorized setup that is easy to reach, reliable and fits perfectly with your home.

Does blackout fabric block all light?

Blackout fabric works best with a dedicated frame. We help you choose an assembly that seals the edges for better light control.

Will my window still open with a shade?

We pick assemblies that respect your window's function. If your skylight vents, we ensure your new shade clears the mechanism so you can still enjoy fresh air.

Does a shade fix overheating?

A shade manages light and comfort, but it is not a repair for roof leaks or glazing issues. We help you choose a fabric that suits your sunlight goals.

How do I measure a high skylight?

Leave the measuring to us. Take a photo from the floor to show us your window, and we will arrange a professional visit to get the exact dimensions.

How To Prepare

Virtual | In-store
