Controlling Skylight Glare And Heat
Shades make skylights more comfortable during the hot summer days and provide a way to control the amount of light coming into your room. Love your skylights even more with color and remote control !
On hot, sunny days the beautiful natural light from skylights can be too much of a good thing. The sun that we crave during shorter, colder weather days can sometimes be uncomfortable when added to already hot weather. VELUX has a perfect solution with a range of shades that control the amount of light coming into the room, but my favorite is solar powered with a remote control. For hard-to reach units in cathedral ceilings or over stairwells the results are amazing.
My favorite solar style is a blackout blind that can transform a bright, sunny room into a perfectly dark media room AND as a bonus increases energy efficiency by 20 percent year round by reflecting hot sun during summer days and retaining heat at night in cold weather. The skylights themselves are already incredibly energy efficient and will save up to $200 per year over a comparable plastic bubble skylight.
