Choosing Window Treatments for Skylights and Sidelight Windows

Having skylights and sidelights in your home creates beautiful visual interest with flowing natural light. While these windows are great to have, you might want the perfect window treatments for more privacy and light control. Wessco Blinds proudly offers various options for both skylights and sidelights, including blinds and shades.

Sidelight Window Blinds

Sidelights are a stunning feature for your front door. They let you see your front yard or whoever's at your door while offering gorgeous natural light to fill an entryway. Wood blinds are a great choice for sidelights because you can customize them to fit windows with narrow widths or unique shapes. Wood blinds are also ideal for most interior style styles – rustic, farmhouse, modern, mid-century modern, etc. – because they’re easily customized with paint or stains.

Additionally, they allow you to enjoy privacy without sacrificing the natural light that makes sidelights so appealing. Consider Parkland® Wood Blinds for its natural appeal and 50+ color options. For extra durability, consider EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds for their ability to resist fading, discoloring, warping, or bowing.

Skylight Cellular Shades

As any homeowner with a skylight knows, these windows let in abundant sunlight into your home. They’re fantastic for brightening and opening up spaces like bathrooms or living rooms. However, they can also let in too much heat during the summer or cause heat loss in the winter. Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades offer insulation due to their unique honeycomb design, helping keep your home comfortable. This type of insulation from your shades can help lower your home’s energy bills and keep your home quieter.

Motorized Window Treatments

When paired with PowerView® Automation, you can operate your wood blinds and cellular shades with your smartphone using the PowerView® App. You can also open and close your shades with the Pebble® Remote or pair the motorized solution with a voice control system.

In addition to the many benefits of wood blinds and cellular shades, motorization allows you light and privacy on your schedule. Easily schedule your window treatments to open and raise with the sunrise and close and lower with the sunset. If motorization isn’t for you, we have plenty of beneficial operating systems.
