Skylight Window Treatments for Dover Homes

October 22, 2018

What Dover homeowner doesn’t enjoy the feeling of sunlight streaming in from their skylight windows? Skylights bring a special something to your house that no other type of window can.

Dress up your skylights with window treatments made for specialty windows. Our top recommendations are skylight shutters and skylight window shades.

Skylight Shutters in Dover


Dover plantation shutters are a fantastic choice for skylight windows. Plantation shutters bring both elegance and function like no other window covering for skylights can. Just look at some of the advantages shutters offer:

  • Streamlined, elegant style - Take it from us–bright, complicated window treatments don’t blend in with skylights. With shutters, you can choose from a range of organic wood tones and neutral stains, the type of materials that go with your trim and walls. Plantation shutters have a classic look that gives your skylights an elegant feel.

  • Minimal maintenance - Most people with skylight shutters keep the louvers tilted slightly open all day, which means they don’t have to remember to adjust them. But if you want to adjust them, it’s easy to do so with a reach pole that we’ll give to you for free!

  • Control over light and heat - Skylights receive more light than other types of windows, so controlling how much sunlight the room gets is a huge benefit. 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 Dover

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

  • No hassle - Bypass the trouble of pulling cords and the sight of cords dangling with motorized shades. When you put your shades on a track system, they’ll stay tight against your window. And if your skylights are low enough to reach, you can choose top-down/bottom-up roller shades to adjust by hand.

  • Choose your thickness - There are many styles for skylight shades, ranging from thin sheer shades that let in lots of sunlight to blackout shades that offer privacy.

  • Almost unlimited color and style options - Skylight shades come in a large color palette, with a number of fabrics to custom build your shades, as well as accent and hardware options to fit the mood you’re going for.

  • Get light, but not too much light - Shades help you block the strongest light that passes through your skylight windows while still letting some in. You’ll have total control!
