Frequently Asked Questions
How do I order a custom size?
Add the shade to your quote list and include the window schedule with opening sizes to the nearest 1/8 in. and the mount type for each opening in the quote note. Each shade is cut and confirmed during quote review before release.
Does this shade work on sloped skylights?
Yes. The side tracks hold the fabric parallel to the glass on sloped and horizontal openings so the shade stays in position at any angle.
How do I operate a skylight shade I cannot reach?
The shade moves along its tracks by hand at reachable openings, and an extension pole is available for higher openings. Confirm pole length in the quote note.
How is light filtering different from blackout at a skylight?
Light filtering fabric turns direct overhead sun into soft, even light and keeps the room bright. A blackout twin of this shade is quoted separately for bedrooms and media rooms.
