Skylight Blinds & Shades for East Austin homes, done by experienced, insured independent crews. A skylight brings in daylight, but by August, an unshaded south-facing unit turns a bright room into a hot one. Skylight blinds and shades give you control over both light and heat without giving up the skylight itself.
South- and west-facing skylights in Central Austin's Zilker, Barton Hills, and Travis Heights homes see real afternoon heat gain, and cellular shades are a common upgrade in this zone. Mature oak canopy in older neighborhoods sometimes naturally shades a skylight enough that a lighter roller shade covers the glare without needing full blackout.

Bright Sky ATX does not set prices. The matched independent crew quotes after measuring your specific units. Manual cellular or roller shades are a smaller scope than motorized shades with a remote or solar-powered motor. Fabric, size, and grouping several skylights on one remote all change the quote.
Both, but cellular honeycomb shades do the most on the heat side because the trapped air pockets in the cell structure add real insulation value on top of blocking direct sun. Roller and pleated shades cut glare well but offer less heat resistance than a cellular design. For a hot, south-facing skylight, cellular is usually the better long-term pick.
