Skylight Blinds & Shades · Lakeway, TX

Skylight Blinds & Shades in Lakeway, TX

Skylight Blinds & Shades for Lakeway homes, done by vetted Austin-area 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.

Lakeway: Lakeway sits under dense live oak and cedar canopy above Lake Travis, and Central Texas is IECC Climate Zone 2, so skylight glazing here has to hold up against long, hot summers and strong afternoon sun.

Do skylight shades actually reduce heat, or just glare?

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.
