Should You Add Window Treatments to Your Skylights?

Roof window

Skylights offer a gorgeous solution to adding more natural light to your home, but there are times when it’s better to have them covered up. Window treatments custom-designed for skylights are the best method for doing this, but you may be wondering if they’re worth it. Before making a decision on whether or not to add window treatments to your skylights, consider these factors:

  • You get to control the lighting in the room. Skylights are certainly beautiful, but they do take away some of the control you have over the lighting in your space. Without window treatments, you don’t get to decide how much light comes into your room. If the sun is up, you can pretty much plan on your space being bright. With window treatments, however, control is restored to you. You can decide to open or close the blinds, or just open them partially. You can also choose the thickness of the fabric, which allows you to filter the light to your preference.
  • They can better insulate your home. Skylight window treatments can also block much of the glare and heat that is channeled into your home. The shades will insulate and shade your space, keeping the heat from radiating inside during the hot summer months. This can increase energy efficiency in your home, which will also save you some money in utility bills over the long term.
  • You have lots of choices. Window treatments for skylights are varied and versatile, so whatever your personal style is, there’s a blind or shade to match it. There are lots of styles, colors, patterns, textures, and fabrics to choose from – if you can visualize it, it can probably be done!
  • They enhance the overall aesthetics of your space. Skylight shades aren’t just for functionality and efficiency, they also look great! Installation of these window treatments can make a room pop, bringing instant style to a place where most people don’t look for it.
