Do Skylight Shades Help with Energy Efficiency?
Skylight shades are a great way to open a space and let in lots of natural light. Since these windows are notoriously hard to reach, many homeowners opt to leave them entirely uncovered or to cover them 100 percent of the time. Both options may cause your home to lose out on potential energy efficiency.
With Hunter Douglas cellular shades, you can enjoy cooler summers, warmer winters, lower energy bills, and even adjust them with compatible systems. Here’s how skylight shades help with energy efficiency and why we highly recommend cellular shades:
How Cellular Shades Help Cover Skylight Windows
As much as we love skylights, leaving them uncovered can welcome glare, temperature fluctuations, and even UV damage. Cellular shades are our top choice for skylight window treatments because they filter light while providing exceptional insulation at the pane. This will help keep the room more comfortable year-round and even reduce your energy bills over time. Is your skylight shade in a bedroom or media room? Cellular shades come in various opacities, including room darkening, to block out most light when closed.
Duette® Cellular Shades

Available in a variety of colors, these shades can blend in with your décor or stand out as a focal point.
Applause® Cellular Shades
