Does Hunter Douglas Sell Skylight Blinds?

Skylights are an enjoyable feature that can be challenging to cover. While leaving your skylights without coverings is always an option, you lose privacy, light control, and energy efficiency. Your first thought might be to purchase blinds to cover your skylight, but does Hunter Douglas sell skylight blinds? The answer is no. However, they sell skylight shades that are a far better option for covering skylights, and we’ll tell you why.

Skylight Shades: An Energy-Efficient Alternative to Blinds

Blinds are a fantastic solution for many windows, but the small gaps between their slats allow unwanted light and air to pass through, making them less energy-efficient. They are also much heavier than fabric cellular shades, making it challenging to hang them properly to cover a skylight. Duette® Cellular Shades are lightweight and have a honeycomb-shaped cellular design that offers unmatched insulation at the window. The cells trap air to prevent it from passing into your home, helping you maintain a comfortable temperature without adjusting your thermostat.

Reasons to Use Custom Skylight Shades

Skylight shades help tie a room together. Covering all the windows except for one can throw the room’s aesthetic off balance.

They provide essential light control. As their name implies, skylights allow abundant natural light into a room, but this can prevent you from enjoying an afternoon nap or cause an unappealing glare on your TV screen.

Skylights are great for concealing dirty glass with these hard-to-reach windows. If you’re expecting guests and haven’t had the opportunity to clean dirt or dust from your skylight, close the shade, and no one will ever know.

Covering your skylight with shades will protect your furniture and flooring from fading and discoloration.

Use Cellular Shades Throughout Your Home

Coordinating the window coverings in an area of your home is essential for creating a cohesive and welcoming vibe. You can effortlessly add cellular shades to any window in your home. The Vertiglide™ system allows you to install Duette® Cellular Shades on sliding glass doors, and a range of specialty shapes can accommodate windows of all shapes and sizes, including arches, angles, and circles.

The top-down/bottom-up design is perfect for enjoying sunlight while maintaining privacy in the bathroom. For bedrooms, the LightLock® blackout system uses innovative side channels to prevent up to 99% of unwanted light from entering the room. The Duolite® feature, which places an opaque liner behind a sheer front shade, is helpful in any area.
