Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
This shade is the right pick when a fixed FS skylight brings in too much glare but you still want daylight. Match the size code to your skylight before ordering, since each shade is cut to a specific unit. Solar power makes it ideal for retrofits where running wire to the skylight is impractical.
Use a stable ladder and follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing a shade at ceiling height in a skylight.
Add a VELUX Solar Light Filtering Shade to your FS fixed skylight for comfortable, glare-free daylight at the touch of a button.
