Shade Your Ceiling with Motorized Skylight Shades

Skylights are captivating design features in homes, allowing abundant natural light into spaces for a bright, airy ambiance. However, they come with certain challenges. Skylights can offer too much of a good thing without a window covering to keep out excessive lightness and glare.

It’s a challenge worth tackling, though. At Cindy’s & Bolliger Window Fashions, we feature Hunter Douglas window treatments and can custom-order them to fit your skylights and operate easily.

Which Motorized Skylight Shades Work Best on Ceiling Windows?

It’s important to be careful with ceiling window treatments because some coverings are too heavy. We recommend cellular shades because they’re lighter and come in an incomparable variety of sizes and fabrics.

Many enhancements are available with these, including PowerView® Automation. Imagine the convenience of adjusting your ceiling windows with a remote control, app, or voice command. Our team can help you select these motorized skylight shades to control your light and privacy.

Hunter Douglas Cellular Skylight Shades

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades have a honeycomb design that can insulate your skylight from temperatures and sound, improving energy efficiency and reducing utility bills. We can walk you through the different fabric options, including ones that block UV rays; room-darkening and blackout materials are also available.

So, if the light coming in from your skylight wakes you up too early, these are real game changers. Materials with UV protection can also shield your walls, floors, and furniture from bright sunlight and prevent fading.

Hunter Douglas Duette Architella® Honeycomb Shades feature high-end luxury fabrics and feature a cell-within-cell design for even more insulation. The room will be more comfortable, and your eye will be naturally drawn to that stunning window treatment.

We can also order your skylight shades with two different manual operating systems. First is the Simplicity™ skylight system, which uses a handle. The SkyLift™ system uses a manual hand crank or telescoping pole. But motorized skylight shades are the optimal choice if you’re looking for the ultimate convenience.

How Do Motorized Skylight Shades Work?

Adding Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation to skylight shades is an excellent option because you won’t have to stand on a stool or chair whenever you need to adjust them. In fact, you won’t even need to get up out of your bed!

This system uses a hidden motor located within the window treatments. It can be connected to a remote control, app, or smart-home system. From there, you only need to push a button, touch the app, or tell the skylight shades what to do. You can even program PowerView® Automation to open, close, and adjust your shades at certain times of day.
