These products are perfect for those looking to add the beauty of natural light to their spaces while maintaining control over light intensity and thermal gain, without increasing their energy consumption.

What Are Skylights?

Skylights are windows installed in the roof or ceiling that allow natural light to enter a building from above. Often used to brighten dark rooms, reduce the need for artificial lighting, and improve ventilation, skylights come in various styles, including fixed, manual venting, and solar-powered options.

How Do Skylights Work?

Traditional skylights work by allowing daylight to pass through a glazed window (typically made of glass or polycarbonate) directly into your home. Depending on the model, some skylights can also open to allow airflow and fresh air circulation, making them functional as well as aesthetic.

How Do Solar-Powered Skylight Shades Work?

• Solar-powered skylight shades use energy from sunlight to function—no electrical wiring or batteries required. Here’s how they work:
• Built-in Solar Panel: Each unit has a small solar panel (usually mounted on the skylight frame) that captures sunlight throughout the day.
• Energy Storage: The solar panel charges a built-in rechargeable battery. This stored energy powers the motor that controls the shade.
• Remote Operation: With a remote control or wall switch, you can raise or lower the shade anytime—even at night—using the energy stored during the day.
• Smooth Motorised Movement: The motor moves the shade up or down, offering precise control over natural light and privacy.
• Smart Integration (Optional): Some advanced models can be integrated with smart home systems or scheduled to operate automatically depending on the time of day or light levels.

Manual Venting Skylights

Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, or utility rooms, these skylights allow you to control airflow manually using a crank handle or control rod. They’re a great way to improve indoor air quality and let warm, moist air escape naturally.

Solar Powered Venting Skylights

These skylights combine natural light and fresh air with the convenience of remote control. With no need for wiring or electricity, they use solar power to open, close, and adjust the integrated blinds—perfect for hard-to-reach ceilings or smart home upgrades.

Fixed Skylights

Looking to flood your room with daylight without adding ventilation? Fixed skylights are the ideal solution. With integrated solar-powered blinds, you can still enjoy light control and privacy while enhancing your interiors with a sleek, seamless look.
