Skylights can let in as much as four times of the light and heat as a normal window. It&#8217;s just not easy being a skylight, but custom tailored skylight shades as a window treatment idea will make your skylight windows happy as you shade them from the sun or defend against the chill, wind or snow of winter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/2_edit3.gif\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7311 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/2_edit3.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"414\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/2_edit3.gif 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/2_edit3-300x207.gif 300w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/2_edit3-200x138.gif 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Measuring for skylights can be tricky as they are up high and have a few particular issues that you need to consider. Most skylights have a deep casing and the shades can be installed at any vertical point inside the casing. Your measurements should then be taken from your installation spot. The best custom look for these blinds is a flush mount, just two inches up, inside the casing which makes your window coverings easier to operate and doesn&#8217;t interfere with the skylight handles.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/3_edit1.gif\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7312 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/3_edit1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"510\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/3_edit1.gif 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/3_edit1-300x255.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The handles enable you to operate the blinds manually or for those really high and large windows, you will need a skylight pole.
