The benefits of SkyShade sunshade

  • Effective heat protection: the solar-control fabric reflects the sun’s rays before the heat enters your living space.
  • Preserves daylight: unlike roller shutters, SkyShade keeps heat out while still allowing natural light through.
  • More comfort: ideal for spaces under skylights and rooflights that heat up quickly.
  • Durable for outdoor use: the fabric is suitable for permanent outdoor application and resistant to changing weather conditions.
  • Energy-efficient cooling: thanks to passive solar shading, you can reduce the use of air conditioning.
  • Available in standard sizes and custom-made: suitable for the most common Skylux structural opening sizes, with custom-made options available on request.

How do you measure the correct size?

Ordering a suitable SkyShade is easy. You only need to measure the structural opening size of your skylight. The necessary margin is automatically taken into account during production, so that the fabric fully covers and seals your dome.

The SkyShade is ideal for domed plastic skylights. For pyramid skylights, application is possible on request.

Installation with clips

The SkyShade is designed for easy installation on plastic skylights. For larger sizes, the fabric is additionally secured for stable fastening.

  • Is one side of the SkyShade longer than 1.40 m? Then 2 clips per side are required.
  • Cut-outs are provided in the hem of the fabric for this purpose.
  • Example: for a size of 100 x 200 cm, 2 clips are required.
  • Example: for a size of 150 x 150 cm, 4 clips are required.
  • For opening domes, additional clips are provided for correct and safe fastening.
Availability and custom-made options

SkyShade is available in a range of standard sizes, based on the most common skylight sizes. The range is being further expanded according to market demand.

Do you need a non-standard size? Then custom-made is possible. The average delivery time for custom-made products is approximately 4 weeks. The surcharge for custom-made products is usually around 30% to 40% compared to a similar standard size.
