Skylight Window Treatments for Hartford Homes

October 22, 2018

What Hartford homeowner doesn’t love how sunlight feels streaming in from their skylight windows? Skylights add a special something to your home that no other style of window can.

Dress up your skylights with window treatments made for specialty windows. We recommend choosing skylight shutters or skylight window shades.

Skylight Shutters in Hartford


Hartford plantation shutters are a fantastic window treatment for skylight windows. Plantation shutters blend form and function like no other window covering for skylights can. Just look at some of the benefits shutters provide:

  • Minimal, beautiful style - Believe us–bold, complicated window treatments don’t usually look great in skylights. With shutters, you can pick from a range of natural wood tones and neutral stains, the type of materials that go with your window trim and walls. Plantation shutters have a timeliness to them that gives your skylights an elegant touch.

  • Easy maintenance - Most people with skylight shutters keep the louvers tilted slightly open all day, and so they never have to bother with adjusting them. But if you would like to adjust them, it’s easy to do so by using a reach pole that we’ll provide you with without charge!

  • Control over light and heat - Skylights receive more light than other types of windows, so being able to control how much sunlight the space gets is a huge plus. You can tilt plantation shutters to fit your needs, from fully open to complete darkness. Polywood® shutters also prevent heat transfer better than other window treatments available.

Skylight Shades for Hartford

Shutters aren’t the only window treatment for skylight windows. We also love to see custom shades in Hartford skylights.

  • No hassle - Avoid the hassle of pulling cords and the look of dangling cords with motorized shades. By putting your shades on a track system, they’ll stay tight against your window. And if your skylights are low enough, you can go with top-down/bottom-up roller shades to operate by hand.

  • Go as thin or thick as you want - Get skylight shades in a variety of styles, ranging from thin sheer shades that offer lots of sunlight to blackout shades that offer privacy.

  • Large variety of color and style options - Skylight shades come in an enormous color palette, with a number of fabrics to match your style, as well as hardware and accent options to fit your needs.

  • Get light, but not too much light - Shades allow you to block the harshest light that comes through your skylight windows while still allowing light to come in.
