Skylight Window Treatments for Bakersfield Homes

October 22, 2018

What Bakersfield area homeowner doesn’t love the feeling of sunlight coming in from their skylight windows? Skylights add a special something to your house that no other type of window can.

Be sure to outfit your skylights with window treatments made for specialty windows. Our top recommendations are skylight shutters and skylight window shades.

Skylight Shutters in Bakersfield


Bakersfield plantation shutters are a great choice for skylight windows. Plantation shutters blend elegance and function in a way no other window covering for skylights can. Just look at the advantages shutters have to offer:

  • Minimal, elegant looks - Take our word–gaudy, busy window treatments don’t usually look great in skylights. With shutters, you can choose from a variety of natural wood tones and neutral stains, the kind of looks that match your window trim and walls. Plantation shutters have that classic look which gives your skylights an elegant feel.

  • Low maintenance - Most homeowners with skylight shutters leave the louvers tilted slightly open all day, which means they never have to bother with adjusting them. But if you want to adjust them, it’s simple to do so using a reach pole that we’ll give to you for free!

  • Temperature and light control - Skylights get more light than any other window type, so having the option to control how much light you get is a big benefit. You can adjust plantation shutters to fit your needs, from all the way open to total darkness. Polywood® shutters also prevent heat transfer better than other window treatments available.

Skylight Shades for Bakersfield

Shutters aren’t the only option for skylight windows. We also love to see custom shades in Bakersfield skylights.

  • Minimal hassle - Avoid the trouble of pulling cords and the eyesore of dangling cords with motorized shades. By putting your shades on a track system, they won’t fall down. And if your skylights are within reach, opt for top-down/bottom-up roller shades to adjust by hand.

  • Choose your thickness - There are many styles for skylight shades, from thin sheer shades that offer plenty of light to blackout shades to keep your privacy.

  • Large variety of color and style options - Skylight shades are available in a large color palette, with many fabrics to match your style, as well as hardware and accent options to accentuate your windows.

  • Control your lighting - Shades let you block the harshest light that comes through your skylight windows while still letting some in. It’s the best of both worlds!
