Skylight Blinds
Custom design and professional fit outs. Showroom: Russell Lea.
Book Measurement
Block intense overhead heat and regulate sunroom glare with our custom-made tensioned skylight blinds. Decorating Decor Interiors installs high-performance overhead window shading across Sydney.
Skylights and glass roofs let in beautiful natural light but can turn rooms into greenhouses during summer. Our skylight blinds use specialized tensioned side-guide wires to ensure the blind stays flat against sloped or horizontal glass, avoiding sagging or light gaps.
We recommend cellular honeycomb blinds (like Duette®) for skylights. Their hollow air chambers act as outstanding thermal barriers, blocking up to 80% of solar heat gain at the glass surface. Operation is simple using extension poles or motorized controls.
Our installers fit each blind flush inside your skylight frame, ensuring silent operation and seamless integration with your interior ceilings.

Frequently Asked Questions
We run high-tensile steel guide wires along the sides of the blind frame. This keeps the cellular fabric tensioned flat and tight against horizontal or angled glass.
Honeycomb (cellular) fabrics are highly recommended. Their hexagonal air pockets trap intense heat immediately beneath the glass before it can transfer into the room.
Absolutely. Because skylights are usually out of physical reach, Somfy or Becker battery-powered motorisation is the perfect easy control solution.
