CliKIT on TVHow to block out a skylight?
Light is always beneficial and pleasant in a home. With windows, several roof openings such as velux windows or other installations offering a light well, the home becomes more beautiful. It is always pleasant, especially in winter, to take advantage of this light source to reduce artificial lighting and thus enjoy a boost of vitamin D. We live at the rhythm of the sun and these windows of all kinds are often pleasant selling points for life within the home. However, it seems necessary to plan for a blackout solution, regardless of the region in which one lives.
The benefits of blocking out a skylight
Summers are getting hotter and the need to keep the house cool is obvious. To this end, it goes without saying that a blind or any other blackout solution must be fitted to windows or other velux windows mentioned.
The same goes for skylights, particularly appreciated for their brightness and modern look in many homes.
However, how can one ensure that such a light-filled installation does not become a negative point when one wishes to protect oneself from the sun or simply reduce the brightness at home for one reason or another?
With modern installations and the many solutions in skylights, velux windows or roof windows, there are perfect solutions that adapt to all weather conditions and all seasons. CliKIT adapts to every need, whether it is a blind needed on a skylight, a pergola or any other custom installation.
What are the types of skylights?
Technically, velux windows or certain types of roof windows are not really considered skylights. However, the list of products available to beautify one's interior thanks to an external light source is particularly extensive!
Between roof glazings, roof domes or even flat roof windows positioned on modern homes and above certain living spaces, the choice is complete.
The advantages are numerous and above all offer a most pleasant living environment when it comes to enjoying a ray of sunshine or a source of light, without worrying about the outside temperature.
Skylights are diverse, adaptable to every home, modern or old, and above all, designed for comfort. And while everything may seem perfect in winter, is it truly a solution given the increasingly hot days experienced during summer periods? Find the answers below!

What are the disadvantages sometimes reported with a skylight?
With CliKIT, the choice left to the homeowner is so vast that one could almost forget the various accessories available. As with the custom pergolas, conservatories or carports available, blinds for skylights allow optimal control of the indoor atmosphere.
Always with extensive personalisation, the blind designed for skylights perfectly accompanies heat peaks to keep the interior of the house cool. With the protection of the windows and that of the opaque or micro-ventilated blind depending on individual choice, you are the sole decision-maker of the atmosphere inside. The design is clean, elegant and adapts, of course, to the size of your installation.
Choosing the right tint for your skylights
As is often the case in the world of windows and exterior openings, double glazing makes all the difference.
And if we tend to think that this kind of modulation is mainly beneficial in winter to protect against the cold, it is just as much so for protecting against the heat in summer.
Without changing thickness or even weight, the energy freely admitted through the window and therefore within the home, can greatly change depending on the glass tint selected for its construction.
All these selectable settings are beneficial and give full rein to each homeowner. Heat control, opening or not towards the outside, percentage of permitted brightness: the skylight is more than just a window to the outside.
