A roof skylight is a great solution to additional lighting, yet sometimes the sun’s rays can be blinding and sweltering, making the room somewhat uncomfortable to be in. Skylight blinds offer to solve this problem. Not only do skylight blinds come in both in light filtering and room darkening fabrics, they also provide added energy efficiency to your building by allowing you to control the admission of light into a given room. The result is lowered heating and cooling costs, and a significant reduction in noise levels. Also, skylight blinds can be easily installed at any angle, in any place, and do not require more than the occasional dusting.
