Black honeycomb skylight blind — overhead glass, Toronto

Made for overhead glass

Cellular shades, built for skylights

Skylight blinds are custom cellular (honeycomb) shades made to fit skylights and other overhead or angled glass. The honeycomb cells trap a layer of air right at the glass — the same structure that makes them the most insulating shade we carry — and side tracks hold the shade flat against sloped or overhead windows so it moves smoothly and sits without sag.

A skylight is beautiful, but bare it’s also the single biggest source of heat, glare and fading in a room. A fitted skylight shade gives you that light back on your terms — softening the midday sun, blocking it entirely in a bedroom, and because skylights sit out of reach, doing it all by remote or app. See how they compare to our other cellular shades and custom blinds & shades.

Why skylight blinds

Comfort overhead, on your terms

Beat heat & glare

Honeycomb cells insulate right at the glass — cutting summer heat gain and winter heat loss through your skylight, and softening harsh overhead glare.

Motorized for the unreachable

Skylights sit out of reach, so most clients add whisper-quiet Somfy motors — open and close by remote, app, schedule or voice.

Fits any angle

Tensioned side tracks hold the shade flat against flat, sloped, angled or fixed skylights — custom-measured to your exact opening, no sag, no gaps.

Light-filtering to blackout

Choose light-filtering fabric to soften a living space, or full blackout for a bedroom, nursery or media room where morning sun wakes you too early.

Motorized skylight blinds in action

Because the glass is overhead, the magic is in the motor — the shade glides across the skylight at the touch of a button. Here are two real motorized skylight installations across the GTA.

Made for the skylights you already have

Fixed, vented, flat or angled — we measure the exact opening and build the shade and tracks to suit it, so a bare skylight becomes one you can actually control.

Skylight blind questions

What are skylight blinds?

Skylight blinds are custom cellular (honeycomb) shades made to fit skylights and other overhead or angled glass. They’re also called skylight shades or skylight cellular shades. Tensioned side tracks hold the shade flat against the glass, and the honeycomb structure adds insulation right where a skylight loses and gains the most heat.

Do skylight blinds help with heat and glare?

Yes — significantly. An uncovered skylight is often the single biggest source of heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. The honeycomb cells trap a layer of air at the glass, slowing that transfer, while the fabric softens or blocks harsh overhead glare and protects floors and furniture from fading.

Can you motorize skylight blinds?

Yes, and most clients do. Because skylights sit out of reach, motorization is the practical choice. As an authorised Somfy dealer we fit quiet, rechargeable motors you control by remote, the Somfy app, a schedule, or voice through Apple HomeKit, Google Home and Amazon Alexa — so the shade opens with the morning and closes against the afternoon sun on its own.

Can you cover any skylight — angled, sloped or fixed?

In almost every case, yes. Tensioned side tracks let the shade sit flat against flat, sloped, angled and fixed skylights without sagging. Every shade is custom-measured and manufactured to the exact opening, so it fits cleanly with no light gaps — something off-the-shelf skylight kits rarely manage.

Which fabric is best — bedroom vs living room?

For living rooms and kitchens, a light-filtering honeycomb softens the sun while keeping the room bright. For bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms, a blackout honeycomb blocks the early overhead sun for darkness and better sleep. We recommend the right fabric based on the room and which way the skylight faces during your free consultation.

Do you measure and install skylight blinds across the GTA?

Yes. We measure, manufacture and install custom skylight blinds throughout Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area with our own team. Skylights need precise measuring for the tracks and safe access to overhead glass, so professional measuring and installation is included — you never have to handle the height yourself.
