Whether it is for privacy or temperature control, some homeowners may wish to cover their skylight from the inside.
How To Cover A Skylight From The Inside
When you wish to cover a skylight from the inside of your home, there are a few different options. Let’s look at the most popular options detailed below.
Install A Skylight Shade
A skylight shade is designed specifically to cover skylights from inside. These shades can come in a wide variety of colors and styles to match your home. These shades can be controlled by a remote.
Use Blinds
The installation of either blinds or blackout curtains is another quick solution. Homeowners can simply open and close these to control the amount of light entering the home.
Blinds or blackout curtains can also provide the home with extra insulation, regulating the indoor temperature.
Use Frosted Glass Film
Applying frosted glass film is another way to limit sunlight during the daytime. Light can still enter the interior of the home, but this film will reduce glare and provide privacy.
Hang A Screen
A decorative screen offers a stylish way to cover a skylight. Homeowners often choose a screen that compliments their decor.
The screens can be hung over the skylight with the help of brackets or hooks.
Install A Retractable Shade
The installation of a retractable shade gives homeowners the ultimate control over a skylight. These shades can be pulled down or pushed up quite easily.
Tension Rod And Curtain
One of the quickest solutions is to hang a curtain from a tension rod across your skylight. This is viewed more as a temporary fix as opposed to a permanent solution.
Create A Custom Cover
If you are able, some homeowners will create a custom cover for their skylight. In most cases, this will be either a decorative panel or piece of fabric attach the ceiling surrounding the skylight.
