What is sun protection for a skylight?
Sunshades for a skylight prevent heat from accumulating under the glass. Especially in extensions, kitchens, and living rooms with abundant daylight, it can quickly become hot on sunny days. With appropriate exterior sunshades, you can better control bright light and heat. STERK advises on the most suitable technical and practical solution.

Most asked questions about sun protection for your skylight
Why solar shading for a rooflight?
A rooflight lets in a lot of daylight, but can also cause a lot of heat in the summer. Sun protection helps to limit direct sunlight, keeping the space under the rooflight more pleasant. This makes a big difference, especially for extensions and kitchens with a lot of glass.
Do you install your skylight blinds inside or outside?
Outdoor blinds are usually more effective against heat, as the sun warms the glass less. Indoor blinds can help against bright light. Which solution is suitable depends on the construction, accessibility, and how neatly the system can be installed.
Can skylight blinds be operated electrically?
Often yes. Because a rooflight is usually difficult to access, electric operation is particularly practical. For general explanations about motors, remote controls and sensors, you can visit electric blinds.
What does sun protection for a skylight cost?
The price depends on the size, number of glass panes, installation, operation and fabric. A small skylight requires a different approach than a wide extension. STERK will visit and prepare a clear quotation based on your construction.
Is skylight sun protection suitable for an extension?
Yes, often they do. Extensions with a lot of glass heat up quickly, especially on the sunny side. With appropriate sun blinds, you retain daylight but limit the most intense heat. We always look at the orientation of the room and its use.
What's the difference with conservatory shading?
A conservatory often involves multiple glass surfaces and sometimes sides, whereas a skylight is usually located in a roof plane. The heat demand is similar, but the solution can differ. Also view conservatory sun blinds.
Can skylight blinds withstand rain?
The fabric and system are designed for outdoor use, but solar shading is not a substitute for a roof. Wet fabric should not remain rolled up unnecessarily long. We will explain clearly how to properly use and maintain the system.
Is skylight shading also relevant for a patio cover?
Yes, the same problem occurs with canopies that let in a lot of light: heat under glass or roofing material. For that situation, you can also look at canopy sun blinds.
