3 Benefits of Skylight Shades
When shopping your options for skylight shades, there are numerous window coverings to choose from. But when comparing the options such as roller shades vs. cellular shades, remember that each type of treatment boasts its own unique set of attributes and benefits, and the trick to finding the best type of skylight shades for your home is matching the different shade attributes to the different needs of varying window types and rooms in the home.
When it comes to skylight shades, our team at Little’s Custom Blinds & Shutters loves the way cellular shades meet the unique needs of skylights throughout a home. Specifically, we like Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades with their innovative SkyLift™ operating system because of how they help to make more comfortable home interiors, can contribute to better energy efficiency in the home, and the privacy and security they provide Georgia households.
Skylight Shades Regulate Temperature and Light Control
One of the most valuable benefits of using cellular shades to cover skylights is their ability to help homeowners mitigate environmental factors that affect how comfortable a room is and the cost of maintaining that comfort. This is primarily achieved through their unique cellular honeycomb design that creates interior air pockets in the shade. These air pockets then affect the way the cellular shade can respond to light, temperature, and sound.
- Light Control: Duette® Cellular Shades can provide a wide range of light control from bright natural illumination to room-darkening effects with a range of fabric choices from the translucent ClearView® sheer shades to opaque textile options.
- Temperature Regulation: Cellular shades are some of the most insulating window treatments available, helping to significantly reduce energy loss through skylights. This helps to stabilize temperature for more comfortable interior spaces.
- Sound Reduction: Cellular shades can help create a quieter space by absorbing incoming noise and helping to improve interior acoustics by reducing echo.
Hunter Douglas Skylight Sheer Shades Offer Privacy & Security
Any window in your home, including skylights, can be a vulnerability to home security as they expose your home interior to the outside world. Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades can protect residential privacy and provide home security thanks to the upgrades available.
ClearView® sheers for cellular skylight shades provide an excellent view out but obscure the view in providing residents privacy while at home. Duette® Cellular Shades are also available with PowerView® Automation which you can program to open and close skylight shades on a set schedule. When residents are away, the automatic movement of window shades, like having a light on a timer, helps create the look of occupation to deter any would-be thieves and help safeguard the security of your home.
Duette® Cellular Shades Improve Energy Efficiency
The insulating design of cellular shades doesn’t just help make home interiors more comfortable; they also help homeowners cut the cost to maintain that level of comfort year-round. Some estimates put the unwanted exchange of energy through windows as high as 30%, meaning that the heating or air conditioning that you’re paying for could be slipping right out the window while that summer heat or winter cold is making its way in.
One option to stabilize internal temperatures is to use more heating or cooling to combat the unstable temperatures inside (which costs more money) or to better insulate your windows to reduce that unwanted energy exchange. When it comes to insulation, Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades are the premier choice for skylight shades.
