What are the Benefits of Skylight Shades When It’s Cold Outside?
If you’ve spent time in Minnesota during the winter, you know we have our own type of cold weather. Locals know all the hacks to stay warm when the snow flies, and using skylight shades is one of them. Viking Blinds carries skylight shades from Hunter Douglas that are the perfect blend of function and fashion.
Save Money with Window Shades for Skylights
When heat passes through skylights without shades, your furnace must work harder to compensate for the lost warmth. Every time your heat kicks on, you can almost hear the money leaving your bank account. By keeping the heat inside your home where it belongs, you can reduce your monthly energy usage and enjoy lower heating costs.
Skylight Shades Keep Your Home Warmer
There’s nothing like being cozy in your home when the outdoor temperature is below freezing. Your house must be warm to accomplish this. Heat rises, and if your skylights don’t have coverings, it will pass right through them. Duette® Cellular Shades trap air within an innovative honeycomb-like interior, preventing it from leaving through your skylight.
A Skylight Window Covering Improves Your Sleep
Once the long summer days come to an end, we get significantly less vitamin D, which can cause fatigue and mild depression. Quality sleep can help combat these symptoms, and you get the best sleep in a dark, quiet room. If your bedroom has a skylight, covering it will reduce outside noise and prevent unwanted light from entering.
Spare Your Interior from UV Damage with Skylight Shades
Too much sun exposure can cause sunburn even in the middle of winter. If the sun damages your skin, it can also damage your furniture, flooring, and wall coverings. Using a skylight shade with sheer or light-filtering fabric will keep a room full of light while preventing harmful UV rays from entering. Blocking the sun at midday will also reduce annoying glares that make watching TV or working on your computer difficult.
Create a Cohesive Aesthetic with Window Shades for Skylights
Skylights aren’t the only windows where heat escapes during the winter. Every window allows heat to exit, and oversized windows and sliding glass doors are particularly notorious for this. Fortunately, Duette® Cellular Shades are an option for every window and door in your home. This means you can enjoy a cohesive appearance and insulation in every room. The variety of colors, fabrics, and cell sizes allows you to change the appearance of windows from room to room while maintaining a central theme.
